"It's been an incredible journey to be part of ET Canada
for the past 10 years, bringing the best in entertainment to our
viewers," stated Patel. "I am honoured to be joining the one and
only Cheryl Hickey as co-host, the
first time that two women will be hosting together. It's going to
be an amazing ride!"
"It is so empowering to have our show back with two hosts, and
leading the way into Season 18 with Sangita," exclaimed Hickey.

special when India was battling
the nation's worst COVID-19 crisis, bringing together some of the
biggest names in entertainment to help raise over $135,000 for the Humanitarian Coalition's
emergency response efforts.
"Whether she is laughing with Julia
Roberts, on the beach with Dwayne
Johnson, or broadcasting from an aircraft carrier with
Tom Cruise, Sangita's energetic yet
thoughtful interviews are what makes her an incredible talent and
an immeasurable asset to ET Canada," stated executive
producer John Kampilis. "We are thrilled to have Sangita hosting
alongside Cheryl [Hickey], and have
this unstoppable duo lead the show into our 18th season, this
fall!"
