''Extra'' is an American entertainment television news program covering events and celebrities which debuted on September 5, 1994 in syndication. It was initially produced at Victory Studios in Glendale, California (later relocating to The Grove at Farmers Market in Los Angeles and even later to Universal Studios Hollywood) by Telepictures Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television Distribution. Until 2003, it was distributed by Time-Telepictures Television, a joint merger between ''Time'' magazine and Telepictures. ''Extra'' also had a spinoff show called ''Celebrity Justice'', which ran for only three seasons from 2002–2005. ''Extra'' is one of two Warner Bros. Television shows to be syndicated to NBCUniversal television stations, the other being ''The Ellen DeGeneres Show''. ''Extra'' is also one of two WBTV entertainment programs, the other being ''TMZ on TV''. ==History== The series was developed in 1993, for a fall 1994 launch, under the working title ''Entertainment News Television''. However, the E!: Entertainment Television cable channel filed a lawsuit against Warner Bros. and Telepictures over the title, claiming it too closely mirrored its own name; though E! lost the lawsuit in a summary judgment hearing allowing Warner Bros. to continue to use the ''ENT'' title for the series, Warner Bros. decided to change the name of the program to ''Extra: The Entertainment Magazine'' in May 1994, four months before the series debuted, with Warner Bros. executives citing that the ''ENT'' name was too similar to ''Entertainment Tonight'' (which is commonly known simply as ''ET'') and could have possibly led to viewer confusion and hurting ratings in the process.〔("'Extra': Warner Bros. Renames TV Magazine" ), ''Chicago Sun-Times'', May 16, 1994. Retrieved March 16, 2011 from HighBeam Research.〕 It was announced on January 29, 2007 that ''Extra'' has been renewed through the 2011-2012 season. The staff of ''Extra'' also produced a Sunday night program for The CW called ''CW Now'' from September 2007 to February 2008, when it was cancelled; the show continues to produce interstitial segments for that network. On July 28, 2008 it was announced that Mario Lopez would become solo host replacing current co-hosts Dayna Devon, who will become a correspondent, and Mark McGrath, who leaves the show to return to a music career. On September 13, 2010, the series' 17th season premiere, ''Extra'' became the fourth American syndicated newsmagazine to be broadcast in high definition, after ''Entertainment Tonight'', ''The Insider'' and ''Access Hollywood''; the series also abandoned its Victory Studios set and moved its taping location to The Grove at Farmers Market, a well-known shopping and entertainment venue in Los Angeles.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About Extra )〕 On August 4, 2011 it was announced that Maria Menounos would be joining ''Extra'' to co-host the show with Mario Lopez.
