E! News has been canceled as a linear TV show after more than 30 years on the air.
Us Weekly confirmed the news on Thursday, July 24. The last day of the TV show will be September 25. E! News will continue online as a digital brand.
While the Thursday episode of E! News will be a repeat during its 11 p.m. timeslot, new episodes will stream next week.
Some E! News correspondents may continue with a role at Versant. (NBCUniversal split into two companies, with the NBC broadcast network Peacock and Bravo remaining and other components — such as E! — becoming part of the new company Versant.)
The Late Show With Stephen Colbert will officially come to an end in May 2026. “Before we start the show I want to let you know something that I found out just last night,” host Stephen Colbert, 61, shared during the Thursday, July 17, episode taping and shared via Instagram. “Next year will be our […]
The network will continue to be represented on red carpets with “Live With E!” The Critics Choice Awards is set to air on E! January 4, 2026.
E! News’ digital brand programming slate included Snapchat’s “E! News’ The Rundown,” Instagram’s “Hot Goss” and YouTube’s “RE!CAP.” Programs on the E! Network including Botched Presents: Plastic Surgery Rewind and Honestly Cavallari: The Headline Tour will continue airing. Upcoming shows Kimora: Back in the Fab Lane and E!’s Dirty Rotten Scandals are still scheduled to premiere.
E! News launched as a news program in 1991 and was previously canceled in 2020 but returned after a two-year break. The show is currently hosted by Keltie Knight and Justin Sylvester, who have yet to address the show’s cancellation.
Sylvester, for his part, has become a fan-favorite replacement for Hoda Kotb on Today With Jenna & Friends, having hosted the show for several dates earlier this year. While Jenna Bush Hager has been tight-lipped about whether she would want Sylvester, 38, by her side, she gushed over their bond.
“I love Justin,” she exclusively told Us Weekly in May. “We’re going to Beyoncé together. Cowboy Carter, let’s go!”
E! News’ cancellation comes days after Stephen Colbert announced that his nightly talk show, The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, would be coming to a close in May 2026.
“Before we start the show, I want to let you know something that I found out just last night,” Colbert, 61, said during a July 17 taping of his CBS series. “Next year will be our last season, the network will be ending The Late Show in May.”
As the studio audience began booing, Colbert admitted, “I share your feelings.”
“It’s not just the end of our show, but it’s the end of The Late Show on CBS. I’m not being replaced,” he said. “This is all just going away. I do want to say that the folks at CBS have been great partners. … And I’m grateful to the audience, you, who have joined us every night, in here, out there, and all around the world.”
