When Erin Johnson was named executive producer of “Entertainment Tonight” in June 2019, one of her first objectives was to give the syndicated show’s 7-year-old set at CBS Studio Center a major makeover. She had hoped to unveil the new stage in time for “Et’s” 40th anniversary in 2020, but just a few months into Johnson’s new job, the plans were put on hold due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Fast forward to today. “Entertainment Tonight” will launch its 41st season this evening with co-hosts Kevin Frazier and Nischelle Turner and correspondents Lauren Zima, Matt Cohen and Rachel Smith from a new set that was built over the summer.
“There are so many things that I love about this set,” Johnson tells me. “I think number one is just how much we’re able to do with it. It’s a lot of monitors. It’s a lot of LED lights.
