The current iteration of the show is hosted by <strong>Keltie Knight<\/strong> and <strong>Justin Sylvester<\/strong>, who have not publicly addressed the cancellation outside of Knight\u2019s TikTok to the song \u201c6 Months Later\u201d by <strong>Megan Moroney<\/strong>. The show\u2019s final episode airs on September 25. (<em>E!

If you dare to remember what happened in March of 2020, our show went off the air with me as the host <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/tag\/coronavirus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">because of the pandemic<\/a>,\u201d she continued. \u201cWhen it came back, it came back in a very different form, and I was no longer with the network.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Vazquez claimed that the \u201cwriting was on the wall\u201d for <em>E! News<\/em> when she was hired as the host. At the time, Vazquez lived in New York City \u2014 where the show moved for a brief period \u2014 and hosted the live version.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@thelillianavazquez\/video\/7530760168745815310\" data-video-id=\"7530760168745815310\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\" style=\"max-width:605px; min-width:325px;\">\n<section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@thelillianavazquez\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@thelillianavazquez?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">@thelillianavazquez<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>They cancelled E!News\u2026 Are you really surprised?\ud83d\ude33  Here\u2019s my hot take and I\u2019m not holding back.  <a title=\"enews\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/enews?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#enews<\/a> <a title=\"cancelled\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/cancelled?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#cancelled<\/a> <a title=\"nbc\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/nbc?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#nbc<\/a><\/p>\n<p> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"\u266c original sound - \u064bLilliana\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/original-sound-7530765298698341175?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">\u266c original sound \u2013 \u064bLilliana<\/a> <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThe reason <em>E!
