ET Canada (previously referred to as Entertainment Tonight Canada) is a Canadian entertainment news television series, using the same format as the American entertainment newsmagazine Entertainment Tonight. ET Canada was a broadcast show that aired back-to-back with the American version on most of Global's stations.
ET Canada was hosted by longtime Global Toronto entertainment host Cheryl Hickey and Sangita Patel, while presented alongside reporters Carlos Bustamante and Keshia Chanté.
The program's original founding producer was Zev Shalev.[1]
ETC Live was an online show in connection with ET Canada, that aired weekdays via Facebook and YouTube, shot live with expanded coverage of entertainment news. It was an interactive show, allowing viewers to submit commentary as Weston, Chanté and Graeme O'Neil debate topics.
In 2021, Global announced the launch of a weekend edition of ET Canada; that version aired on Saturdays with host Sangita Patel and premiered on September 18, 2021. This edition of the series was not renewed for a second season.
On September 27, 2023, Global announced the cancellation of the series, with the final episode airing October 6.[2]
