“Entertainment Tonight” issued a new round of layoffs Thursday, cutting 30 staffers from its news desk, impacting both TV and editorial teams.
The move reflected the CBS program’s intent to refocus on a video-first business model and dissipate their online news editorial team, a spokesperson told TheWrap.
The layoffs won’t go into effect until Sept. 7 ahead of Season 44. Four of the impacted staffers worked across platforms on both the syndicated program and ET online, TheWrap has learned. Among them was Emmy-winning producer and digital correspondent Ash Crossan, who announced Thursday she is “one of the ‘Entertainment Tonight’ fallen.”
I am one of the Entertainment Tonight fallen 🫡 An amazing run and forever grateful.
