Access Hollywood to End After 30 Years on NBC

For three decades, Access Hollywood has been a staple of entertainment news, but an era is coming to a close.

On March 13, 2026, NBCUniversal announced that the long-running program, along with its companion show Access Live, will cease production in September 2026.

Across the industry, changing viewer habits and the rise of digital media have made traditional, high-budget syndicated shows less financially viable.

Consequently, NBCUniversal is canceling several other series, including The Steve Wilkos Show, Karamo, and The Kelly Clarkson Show.

While these shows will air their final episodes through the summer, the focus for NBCUniversal will move toward distributing its massive library of existing hits like Law & Order.

For fans of hosts Mario Lopez, Kit Hoover, Scott Evans, and Zuri Hall, this marks the end of a cultural touchstone that debuted in 1996.
