Giuliana Rancic shocked the entertainment industry last month when she announced that she would be leaving E! News after 14 years as anchor. That day finally came on Monday when Giuliana officially said her goodbyes to her co-hosts, crew, and everyone watching from home.
It seems like just yesterday that Giuliana Rancic was an unknown reporter named Giuliana DePandi, doing her thing on E! News. After 14 incredible years, Giuliana ended her reign as the best entertainment anchor in the biz.
The 40-year-old is moving on but will remain with E! as the host of Live from the Red Carpet and co-host of Fashion Police. She was obviously upset about the end of her run, but optimistic about the changes ahead.
“I knew this day would be bittersweet but I was not prepared for how incredibly special it would be,” Giuliana told PEOPLE.
“I am lucky to have worked side-by-side with some of the most talented and kindest people in the business who gave me the most loving send-off I could have ever hoped for. I cried tears of joy but today feels like my graduation day and I can’t wait to write my next chapter.”
Giuliana Rancic insisted her departure from E! News was planned years ago and had nothing to do with the scandal over edited comments she made about Zendaya's hair on Fashion Police.
Giuliana got a little emotional as she posted photos of her last day on set with the crew including one in which she got a loving hug from husband Bill Rancic.
"And on this note... it's a wrap. Fourteen years of memories at one show," the mother-of-one captioned the snap. "Fifty more years of memories to be made with my soulmate. Let's do this @billrancic!!!!!"
Giuliana also shared a picture of the entire work crew, writing: "What an honor to work with the most incredible gang in the business.'
She added: 'I love each and every one of you @enews and thank you for 14 years of love and laughs!!! Thank you for tonight's beautiful send off. I [love] U! #secondfamily."
Giuliana’s co-hosts sent her off in such loving ways and the E! News team decided there was no way they were going out on a sad note. They gave Giuliana a priceless tribute where the team revisits Rancic’s funniest fails.
