US entertainment show Extra, has been renewed in the USA for a 30th season, which will see the series break the 9,000 episode mark.
The show, which has screened stateside since 1994, focuses on breaking entertainment and pop culture news and interviews with celebrities. It is hosted by Billy Bush, and previously featured Aussie Renee Bargh.
Mike Darnell, President, Warner Bros. Unscripted Television, said, “It’s not every day that an Emmy-winning show makes it past 9,000 episodes, while covering over 14,000 red carpets and 80,000 celebrity interviews. From the producers and staff to Billy and the correspondents, everyone at Extra has done a standout job, and we couldn’t be prouder. 30 seasons never looked better”
The series has previously screened in Australia on Nine.
Rival magazine show Entertainment Tonight, which airs on 10, has notched up 41 seasons since 1981.

Hasn’t been on air here for quite a while now, but when Billy Bush was put in, it plummeted in quality as it focused on him.
9,000 episodes is quite the milestone these days. Congratulations to everyone at Extra on their big accomplishment!
Soon as I read the Entertainment Tonight line, I instantly heard the theme song in my head!
It is infectious.
Narhnah nah_nah nah_nahaaaa!!
Mary Hart and John Tesh co-anchoring were the glory days.
