'Hollywood' at its best!

ACCESS HOLLYWOOD is the best show currently on NBC. It combines celebrity interviews, movie trailers, movie news, celebrity news, and television clips into one fabulous and super entertaining show. I have been watching this show since it began in 1998 and I still watch it every evening. It's so much better than ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT!!!
