CNN's Rob Marciano is the new co-anchor of CBS Television Distribution's leading access magazine, Entertainment Tonight, said Linda Bell Blue, ET's executive producer, on Monday. Marciano will join Nancy O'Dell on ET's anchor desk in January.
"Rob brings with him a passion for news, a wealth of knowledge about the entertainment industry, and an enormous amount of charisma that viewers have been responding to for years," said Bell Blue in a statement.
Marciano has been a news and weather anchor at CNN since 2003. While there, he earned Peabody Awards for his reports on Hurricane Katrina and the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
Prior to joining CNN, Marciano served as chief meteorologist for Fisher's ABC affiliate KATU Portland, Ore., as well as for 750 KXL News Radio. From 1994-97, he worked as morning and then-chief meteorologist for Raycom's NBC affiliate KPLC Lake Charles, La. Marciano began his career as a weather anchor for NBC-owned WVIT Hartford, Conn.
Before beginning his career in television, Marciano was an equity sales trader in New York City.
Marciano holds a bachelor's degree in meteorology from Cornell University.

I am going to miss Rob. He is an excellent weather reporter. I am not sure this is a step up though. Personally I think Entertainment Tonight is where Don Lemon belongs.
LOL this is a joke, right?
Don Lemon?
Are you kidding me?
Rob deserves this and he must have
applied for the opening or someone must have spotted him and noticed his reporting skill.
He is very good looking and has a very appealing personality.
I think he will do well in his new endeavor.
Rob has earned his hurricane stripes.
CNN can still use Anderson Cooper for hurricanes. He's already proven his limited appeal.
This is so random! What's next? Jack Cafferty joining American Idol as a judge?
