When the broadcast journalist Nischelle Turner was growing up on a farm in Columbia, Missouri, the first Black female face she recalls seeing on television was a then-University of Missouri-Columbia student, April Eaton, on the local NBC affiliate.
“I was floored,” she said in an interview on Wednesday. “I didn’t know someone who looked like me could do this.”
Now, Turner will become the first woman of colour to host the nightly broadcast of Entertainment Tonight in the 40-year history of the show, CBS announced Thursday.
