"Entertainment This Week." with co-hostess Leeza Gibbons (Check local listings for time ) The pro­ gram features in-depth news and investigative reports on the entertainment world Weller may be a familiar faca to viewers He (Oined "E.T." following a year-long stint as co-host of "2 on the Town" in New York "I worked on '2 on the Town' but the show met with an untimely cancellation," he says. Prior to "2 On the Town." Weller worked for five years as a reporter and television host in the Chicago area. He hosted "AM Chicago." as well as the weekly "Eye on Chicago" and "Off the Record " I had a wonderful expe­ rience in£hicago," Weller says, "but it wasn't until I got to Entertainment Tonight' that I got national exposure It means a lot to me " Weller also speaks highly of Miss Hart "Mary Hart has been a guiding light in what I've been doing With Mary's help. I've learned to relax and gef into the show a lot quicker " Weller also enjoys ad-libbing "It gives the viewer a chance to see the two of us being ourselves li s a very thrilling experience It's all business and we do our |obs As a newcomer to the show. Weller has thoughts as to why "E.T " has remained the nation's most-watched entertainment-news program "The show is uncanny It's unique, fast-paced and there's a range in topics It appeals to the very young people, teens, and the cross- 50-and-o'der demographics It's a news show that can offer that kind of range The pacing is terrific It's the behind-the-scenes look of all aspects of the entertainment business "I find the interview aspect and celebrity profiles to be very interesting. I'd like to eventually get into that aspect along the line but I think the producers are waiting for me to get settled before I move on "To be honest, hosting is a far'better gig It offers mc e exposure However I do miss the reporting aspect Y ju miss that a little bit " If he had a choice. Weller would like to make his first interview with "Cary Grant, because he s tne nottes find m the business He doesn't do many interviews hut he's the gentleman of the business right now And years from now when his hosting days ai • over, he'd like to be remembered as A guy who knew all the stars but never felt he was one " „ c 1985 Compulog *
