In addition to her role at E! News, Rancic also hosts various red carpet award shows for E! as part of the network’s “Live From the Red Carpet” series. She is also the host of Beyond Candid with Giuliana and a co-host of Fashion Police with Joan Rivers, Kelly Osbourne and George Kosiopoulos.
At E! News, Rancic anchors alongside Terrence Jenkins, with Jason Kennedy and Catt Sadler serving as co-hosts. According to the network’s reports, the show finished Q1 of 2014 as its most watched since Q3’12.
