Will Smith nervous about daughter dating
BURBANK, Calif., Nov. 1 (UPI) -- "Access Hollywood" correspondent and weekend co-host Tony Potts has signed a new, multi-year contract to remain on the entertainment newsmagazine.
"Tony Potts is the go-to guy when it comes to celebrity breaking news," Rob Silverstein, the show's executive producer, said in a statement. "His stellar reporting during the Anna Nicole Smith story helped, once again, set 'Access Hollywood' apart from the competition. Tony is likable and relatable; someone our audience trusts."
Potts expressed pleasure "not only have the audience's trust, but also the confidence of NBC Universal and 'Access Hollywood' to offer me this new deal."
"There is not a better entertainment news show in the business, with a better attitude and with better people than 'Access Hollywood' and I continue to feel right at home," he said.
The Seattle native joined "Access Hollywood" in April 1999, coming to the show after 12 years in television news and sports.
In addition to his duties at "Access Hollywood," Potts also contributes to the "Today" show, MSNBC, CNBC and CNN's "Larry King Live" and "Showbiz Tonight."
