In the statement, Hart says, "I've had the privilege of spending 29 years doing something I love -- how often does that happen? I've had the support of a stupendous group of people starting with Linda Bell Blue, John Nogawski and many others who are so talented on our staff at ET. I only meant to be at ET for three years, suddenly it's almost 30! I've reached a point when I clearly realize it's time for a change. There are many things I want to do in my life and I'd better get on with them.

"It will certainly be with mixed sentiments that I say 'goodbye' at the end of the season, but it will definitely be with a sense of celebration... 30 years of Entertainment Tonight, are you kidding me? That's an accomplishment and something I'm very proud of!"
As for speculation who will succeed Hart - Lara Spencer, host of The Insider, reportedly wants the job, while Samantha Harris has been filling in recently for Hart while she's on vacation.

I hate to see her go, I really enjoyed watching her at the Red Carpet events.

Mary despite all the botox and plastic surgery still remains a classy lady. It is time to leave. These entertainment shows have all gone TMZ and are a dime a dozen now. She was the best.

Mary misses when the show only talked about MOVIE stars and their careers. Now she has to interview the likes of Jon Gosselin and Hailey Glassman about their "love" relationship. CRAP stinks.

ET has gone down hill for the past few years. 30 yrs is a good time to jump ship!
