The anchor, who is the first Black woman to host ET, shares what she reaches for before going on camera... and, what she wouldn't be caught dead in.
in the show’s 40-year history. It's also the first time the show has been anchored entirely by people of color.
The promotion was a long time coming. When former host Nancy O’Dell left the show in August 2019, Turner knew she wanted the role; despite being an obvious choice, she wasn’t sure she’d be picked. “I won't make any qualms about it: I felt like I was the best person for the job,” she says. “I know that I worked my butt off, but sometimes you don't know how things are going to happen and how they're going to fall at the end of the day.
We caught up with Turner a few weeks into her new role to learn what she wears—on camera, and off—to feel like her best self.I'm a bad meditator, because my brain goes 50 miles an hour at all times, but I've really been trying to be conscious and intentional about when I wake up every morning. I try to take five or 10 minutes to just sit in silence. I don’t check my phone. I don't really even move. I certainly don't turn the T.V. I just breath in the silence, with my eyes closed.
Then, I head to the studio. I go a little earlier now to join editorial calls and figure out how the show and the day is going to be shaped. I like being part of the creative process. Next, I go to hair and makeup, which... can I just be honest? As great as our team is, it's my least favorite time of the day because I'm such a tomboy. After that, I'm reading scripts and getting ready for the show. Sometimes, I'll have a couple of shoots for pre-taped segments beforehand.
