HLN’s Nancy Grace TV show will end after an 11 year run in October 2016, with the host departing for new fields, THR confirms:
Grace, 56, broke the news Thursday morning to her staff of 18 — some of whom have been working with her since the late 1990s, when she got her start co-hosting on Court TV with the late Johnnie Cochran — at the network’s CNN Center headquarters in Atlanta, where Grace shoots the majority of her shows. New York-based staffers learned of her departure simultaneously via video conference call.
A network spokesperson tells The Hollywood Reporter that a new series — one that will “utilize the expertise of the current team” — will replace Nancy Grace in the 8 p.m. slot following the airing of the final episode on Oct. 13. The decision was a difficult one, according to Grace, who in an emotional interview with THR admits to being “really mixed” about taking a step she’s been “thinking a lot about” for the past three years.
Grace said:
“I will always be wedded to a traditional platform — which is TV, God help me. My plan is to merge those two in an effective way, in my voice, the ‘anti-crime’ voice. Our show has never really been about me. It has been about the stories that we tell and the people we talk about and the mysteries we try to solve and the children we try to bring home. There’s an entire section of our population that I want to reach.”
RIP.

Good. Nancy Grace could take a bad manicure and turn it into a death penalty case against the owner of the beauty parlor. She manufactures outrage to promote herself not promote truth.
Audrea says
So true, she has always been dramatic, a bad actor and a self promoting dilweed.
J.C. Conway says
Hey ! Dilweed is helpful in many recipes. On the other hand,Nancy Grace can’t be helpful as,she’s always angry.
Harvey Neese says
She would interrupt others speaking,loved only her own voice and opinion.Glad to see her leaving.

Ding, dong, the B*TCH is dead…
James busbin says
Will not miss this self centered person. I particularly disliked the way she treated people who appeared on her show. Nasty she was with the way she would ask a question and then keep interrupting them as they attempted to answer. Good riddance.
Mike says
I’ve never been able to stand listening to her. She is more annoying than Greta VanSusteren on Fox.
I thought this was great news until I read further and saw she is just moving to a different show on HLN.
Headline news is anything but. It’s become a tabloid TV channel. The only time they have news in in the morning.
Now if only CNN would dump Carol Costello and Ashleigh Banfield, two more annoying people on CNN. They are just about as bad as Grace.
As soon as Costello comes on CNN I switch to Fox and watch America’s newsroom. Unfortunately when Banfield comes on, Fox has that annoying “Outnumbered” show so I just turn the TV off until 10am when I switch back and forth between Happening Now on Fox and Wolf on CNN.
Newsie says
Then you mis-read the article. She is leaving HLN. Another show, with another host, will use her crew on HLN. Nancy Grace is going elsewhere but she’s not announcing where just yet.
Audrea says
Thank god, how in the world has she stayed on TV for so long anyway, Between Nancy and Dr Drew HLN prime has sucked for a very long time. Too dramatic and bias….Goodnight Nancy,
Mike says
HLN has sucked since it moved away from it’s original name sake “Headline News” to become a tabloid TV show after 10am. I stopped watching anything on HLN after the news goes away until the next morning. The only time I watch it now is for Morning Express with Robin Meade.
Hey HLN how about going back to your roots and just be a 24 hour news channel. CNN isn’t a 24 hour news channel anymore either with some of their non-news crap they broadcast in the evening.
Bunny McGuigan says
Thank you….. This woman is too too much. What took you so long to cancel her?
Jennifer Burgess says
Nancy Grace is dangerous..a few years back, in using her accusations, prompted a young mother to commit suicide. I’ve never liked her since, so on that note, Ta Ta loud mouth, you can keep your opinions at home!! I won’t miss a thing!
jameson says
Her words caused at least two suicides, many others were hurt or embarrassed by her, including her guests. I think her final show should be her apologizing to those innocent people she falsely accused and then HAMMERED in her show.
The show made need to run without commercials to get it done, but it would be the right thing to do.
SHELIA FIELDS says
Final Show
Nancy taking a Breath to say a word
Cut to her being silent and a sweet Smile
This Repeated the Whole Hour…
Jim says
She ought to marry Casey Anthony!
Lea Birmingham says
Good riddance to this one-sided, over opiniated loud mouth! See ya, and won’t miss ya.
mimi4u2c says
Thank God, Nancy, won’t let talk her panelist. I’m glad its over.
Lorraine says
Nancy Grace was rude, and got her point across but lets face it she did get your attention and deep in her heart she got the job done..Her replacement on now is so boring…hate 8pm now…com’on get some spice into this show or u will lose a lot of more people….
Alex says
Good riddance to bad rubbish. Whichever moron was responsible for keeping her on the air so long should be fired. Correction… Horsewhipped, THEN fired.
Geo says
Best thing that could happen to T.V.
Lyndon says
I’m surprised she lasted this long. Total narcissist, self centered witch. Always angry & just think she used to be a prosecutor :-(((((((( Good riddance. Waste of $$
