| From television news journalist
and host, to radio personality, producer and businesswoman, Leeza
Gibbons has been entering America’s living rooms for over
20 years. While she would nationally burst on the scene as an anchor/reporter
on “Entertainment Tonight,” it wouldn’t be until
hosting her own daytime talker, “Leeza,” that audiences
would see Gibbons’ determination to get outside of the box
and become a household name while highlighting her intelligence,
sensitivity and compassion. Gibbons served as Executive Producer
of “Leeza,” which debuted on NBC in 1994 and continued
nationally through 2000.
Receiving nominations for both Outstanding Talk Show and Outstanding
Talk Show Host every year it was eligible, “Leeza” would
garner 27 Daytime Emmy Nominations, winning three. It was during
the series run that Gibbons’ impact on television would be
awarded with one of Hollywood’s highest honors: a star on
the Hollywood Walk of Fame. With her never-ending entrepreneurial
creativity and a mind for business-building, Gibbons formed Leeza
Gibbons Enterprises (LGE) in 1994, to develop and produce the kind
of projects that reflect her interests and concerns.
