The cuts at CBS Media Ventures' syndicated showbiz tabmag "Entertainment Tonight" were mostly on the digital end, although "correspondent" Will Marfuggi (who had only joined the show in September from E!) and weekend show co-host Matt Cohen and some producers were included:

This came the same night "ET" got CBS network play in prime time for a buttkissing "25th anniversary tribute" to next-door neighbor on the CBS Radford lot "Big Brother" (that's 25 seasons, not years--they're counting "Celebrity" and the years during strikes that were multiple seasons), and I'm sure Andy Denhart will verify that no discussion was made of the notorious racism of many of the hamsters over the years. But hey, how about Chenbot's stiff delivery?

Last time I watched the show, which I admit was years ago, it was nothing more than a repository for electronic press kits and media junket interviews. Not sure how much staff you need for that.
