With two years left in her contract, Nancy O’Dell has decided to call it quits on the entertainment show that she has hosted for 13 years. In a statement from her rep, “O’Dell appreciates NBC’s cooperation as she begins this next chapter in her career. Even though she will be leaving for a new opportunity, this decision is based totally on Nancy’s desire to take her career to the next level and is completely amicable. She will continue on with projects as a broadcast entertainment journalist.”

Sources have told People Magazine that O’Dell has been feeling uncomfortable due to the show going towards a more sensational direction.
