” in June 2019, one of her first objectives was to give the syndicated show’s 7-year-old set at CBS Studio Center a major makeover.

and correspondents Lauren Zima, Matt Cohen and Rachel Smith from a new set that was built over the summer. “There are so many things that I love about this set,” Johnson tells me. “I think number one is just how much we’re able to do with it. It’s a lot of monitors. It’s a lot of LED lights. We can change the colors. We can put up a ton of stuff in the monitors. There’s just so much to look at and see.
“ET” has yet to set a return date for the office. In the last few weeks, the show has taped at locations throughout Los Angeles, including Paramount Studios and the London Hotel in West Hollywood.

Not only will broadcast segments be shot on the set, but Johnson envisions using it for digital programming, too. “We’re looking to branch out into doing more ‘ET’ shows on streaming or ‘ET’-produced shows on streaming, or just full videos for social that we can do from the set,” she said. “So that’s really the way that we designed it. It’s not just about ‘ET’s’ legacy as a television show.
