Zuri Hall writes;FAREWELL, FOR NOW!! 😭❤️ I am SO excited about an amazing opportunity I’ve decided to take (STAY TUNED — big announcement coming this week!!) — but that also means saying farewell to the place I’ve called home for the last 4 years: E! News!
I’ve learned The Art of The Interview. Conversing with Hollywood’s finest — with laughter, respect for craft, empathy, genuine curiosity (and sometimes a lotta patience haha). From Leo DiCaprio to Angelina Jolie... to my fairy godmuva: OPRAH (and 3x, no less!!)
The Olympic Games in Rio.. NY Fashion Weeks.. World Premieres in Paris (hi Tom Cruise!) & London (hi Meryl Streep!).. the Emmys, Globes, Grammys, Oscars.. Co-hosting with the best of the best: Ryan FREAKIN’ Seacrest.
(I’ll never forget the first time he said “Let’s throw it to Zuri Hall, in the Skybox. How’s it going up there?” Me: “FINE RYAN. BETTER THAN FINE. HOW TF DID I GET TO A PLACE IN LIFE WHERE YOU KNOW MY NAME AND WE’RE WORKING TGTHR?? ARE WE FRIENDS NOW?! OMFG.” (Mental reply only. I think I said “It’s windy up here.” Lol)
Heck, I even got a whole RELATIONSHIP outta this gig. 😂❤️ S/O to G & Jason’s “so-bad-they’re-good” matchmaking skills (and Kate & Kylie!)... and — heyyy Culk. 😘
To my amazing colleagues: my fellow co-hosts, producers, glam team & more — THANK YOU for being the best part of E! News. I’m so blessed to be part of a group of people that makes saying goodbye so tough!! I’m happy I still get to call you my friends. ❤️
In the words of my homies Semisonic: “Every new beginning comes from some other beginnings end.” (Not actually my homies. Never met those dudes. ‘Closing Time’ is the jam tho.) I’m THRILLED about my next adventure — but it’s bittersweet having to say goodbye to my last one, to do so!
Still: goodbye (for now!) — but I much prefer See Ya Later. Most importantly: through the ups & downs, twists & turns — I’ve learned to OWN MY VOICE; to discover who I am & commit to being (& loving) that person — proudly & relentlessly; and to share THAT person, with the world.
What an unbelievable chapter in this Ohio girl’s journey. These 4 years have been a beautiful, wild ride — I’m a better woman for having taken it. ❤️Gossip - Who Which What Where When How #jaiyeorie 📎 ... CRITIC ALSO 🖋️ spill TEA ☕ Easy on Shade 💣 🖋️ 📜 COMMENT BELOW
