NEW YORK, N.Y. - Those legs are made for walking: Longtime "Entertainment Tonight" host Mary Hart said Thursday she's leaving the show after her upcoming 30th season.
The leading syndicated newsmagazine for entertainment had no immediate comment on reports that Lara Spencer has already been selected as Hart's successor. Spencer anchors "ET's" sister broadcast, "The Insider."
Hart, a former English teacher from Sioux Falls, S.D., joined "Entertainment Tonight" in 1982, with the show not even a year old. She was paired most famously at the anchor desk for 10 years with John Tesh, who left in 1996 to concentrate on his music career. Mark Steines is her current co-anchor.
Hart, 59, was known for shapely legs considered such an asset that "Entertainment Tonight" built a see-through desk on its set to show them off, said Bill Carroll, an expert in the TV syndication market for Katz Television.
