The Hollywood Reporter said Hart will finish up as host of the celebrity news program after the syndicated show's 30th season, which is to premiere next month.

No replacement has been announced, the entertainment industry trade newspaper said.

"I've had the privilege of spending 29 years doing something I love -- how often does that happen?," Hart said. "I've reached a point when I clearly realize it's time for a change. There are many things I want to do in my life and I'd better get on with them."

"Right now we are focused on making this next season the very best in her long history with 'ET ...' We're going to have a lot of fun this year!" Executive Producer Linda Bell Blue said.
