About Nancy O'Dell:
Named one of Television Week's 10 Most Bankable Stars in Syndication and also ranked as one of the 20 Hottest Stars Right Now by Shape Magazine, Nancy O'Dell has proven to be a force in all areas of her life. As a journalist she currently co-anchors Access Hollywood. In addition, O'Dell contributes reports to NBC News's Today show and Dateline. O'Dell was part of the original on-air team which launched Access Hollywood in 1996, serving as weekend co-anchor and weekday correspondent until becoming lead co-anchor in January 1999. O'Dell has since earned the reputation as one of Hollywood's leading entertainment journalists. Beyond covering events such as The Oscars, The Emmys, The Grammys and The Golden Globe Awards, she has hosted the national Golden Globes Arrivals Special since 2000. In 2007, she hosted the backstage portion of the Golden Globe Awards telecast itself, a role made famous by Dick Clark. She also hosted The Emmys Pre-Show for Fox in 1999, ABC in 2000 and NBC in 2006. In 2002, she co-hosted NBC's Emmys Post-Show and also hosted NBC's Golden Globes Post-Show in 2003, 2004 and 2005. A member of the Academy of Country Music, she was the original host and consulting producer of Nashville Star, a nationwide search for the next great country music artist, for USA Network. In addition, she has been a co-host of NBC's network coverage of the Tournament of Roses Parade for the past eight years, six of those years with Today weatherman Al Roker. In 2003 and 2004 she co-hosted ESPN's ESPY Awards Red Carpet Show. She co-hosted NBC's annual Christmas tree lighting ceremony in Rockefeller Center in 2004. Also in 2004, she was asked to host the lighting of the Christmas tree in California's state capital by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. Additionally, O'Dell co-hosted the Hollywood Christmas Parade from 1999-2002. Since 2000, O'Dell has been host of NBC New York's annual coverage of the St. Patrick's Day Parade. O'Dell has co-hosted Miss USA since 2004 and Miss Universe since 2005.
An award-winning journalist, O'Dell has been honored with three Associated Press Awards, two Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ) Awards, and is a seven-time Emmy Award nominee. In addition, she was nominated two years in a row (1999 and 2000) for the prestigious ICG Publicists Guild Media Award, recognizing excellence in entertainment reporting. O'Dell began her broadcast career as a reporter and anchor at WPDE-TV in Myrtle Beach, S.C. She later worked as morning news anchor and crime reporter at WCBD-TV in Charleston, S.C. While in Charleston, O'Dell's reports on police in that city re-writing tickets for driving under the influence (DUI) cases to less serious charges led to a State Law Enforcement Division investigation that resulted in a change in South Carolina law and state authorities re-issuing a more stringent directive regarding DUI cases. The Associated Press honored O'Dell's report on the issue with the Best Report of the Year Award, for all media, in South Carolina. Following her work in Charleston, O'Dell served as co-anchor and investigative reporter for NBC's Miami station, WTVJ-TV, before joining Access Hollywood.
