It's hard to believe, but Mary Hart and her legs have been hosting Entertainment Tonight since August of 1982, meaning that she is now beginning her 25th season with the entertainment news program. Throughout all the changes in how entertainment news is reported -- believe it or not, ET used to be a much more informative and sedate program than it is now -- and all of the show's male co-hosts -- remember Robb Weller? Bob Goen? John Freakin' Tesh? -- she's been there.Now comes word that Hart has signed a multi-year deal to continue hosting the show. Since Hart is already a month shy of her 56th birthday (she got an honorable mention when I listed the hottest TV women over 50), the deal will likely take her past her 60th birthday. That's quite a feat in the youth-obsessed world she covers. Wonder if the producers still have an insurance policy out on those legs...

And after all those years, she still looks great.
She out-did her peers at MTV who are more or less has-beens.

Mary Hart has been on ET far too long. She should retire and let someone else have a chance at fame. Why doesn't she do something else in the entertainment industry? She has before. Of course she would renew her contract. She would be a fool not to. Then she would actually have to work for a living.
