Shaun Robinson Departs 'Access Hollywood' After 16 Years

Image
Don't get too sad about Shaun Robinson 's departure from Access Hollywood , she wasn't fired and she's walking away with a sweet NBCUniversal deal under her belt.  Since 1999 we've gotten use to seeing Shaun reporting the newest and latest entertainment news but she is turning in her microphone (briefly) for a less public position. She along with her production company, Robin Hood Productions, has acquired a development deal with NBCUniversal Domestic TV Distribution. This deal will allow Robinson to develop and/or produce unscripted and scripted shows under the NBCUniversal's domestic distribution department. Shaun isn't done being in front of the camera all together. She states that she would love to have her own talk show.   “I would love to have my own show, and I think I have a lot to say,” she said. “My dream job would be a younger, hipper version of ‘Inside the Actors Studio."   Much success and luck to Shaun as well as her product...

Yesterday Barbara Walters taped her farewell show on The View . The HBIC is finally retiring. Garnering more attention that her retirement is the reunion of ALL 10 past and present co-hosts. Which included Rosie O'Donnell , Star Jones and Elizabeth Hasselbeck under the same roof at within arms reach of one another. The episode will also feature appearances by reputable media types like Oprah Winfrey , Robin Roberts , Katie Couric and even Hilary Clinton . The shows airs today and from what I hear Walters didn't cry nor say good bye. “Thank you, thank you ... But who knows what the future brings? Instead of ‘Goodbye,’ say, ‘I’ll be in touch....See you later.” Farewell, Babs! In the back (just in case you forgot): Star Jones,  Debbie Matenopoulos , Joy Behar, Barbara Walters,  Lisa Ling  , Elisabeth Hasselbeck Rosie O'Donnell.

An Emotional Jay Leno Bids Farewell To Late Night Talk Show

Stacie McChesney/NBC After 22 years on air and a previous short lived departure the last hoorah for Jay Leno over at The Tonight Show ended last night handing over the keys to Jimmy Fallon . The host/comedian got a little choked up, as anyone would after 22 years at the same job you actually loved, but the show was more than saddened emotions. The show featured Jay's first guest ever which was Billy Crystal and he also received well wishes in the form of music and singing from Oprah , Jack Black , Chris Paul , and  Kim Kardashian  just to name a few. Back before reality television took over my life I use to love watching the first 10 or 15 minutes of   The Tonight Show with Jay Leno .It was that shwo I was first introduced to the adorable Ross Matthews who now has his own talk show and is a regular on the E! network. I was sad to see Jay semi leave back in 2009 but I now I believe it's Jimmy's time to shine and Jay's time to relax (and enjoy his vintage ...
