Inside Edition is a syndicated news program, on the air since January 9, 1989. It was originally similar to the programs Hard Copy and A Current Affair, but now more closely resembles Entertainment Tonight or The Insider. It was created by John Tomlin and Bob Young for King World Productions (now CBS Television Distribution). The show was originally a mix of tabloid crime stories, investigative pieces and celebrity gossip; now it's a mix of investigative pieces, entertainment and celebrity news, and human interest stories. Steve Kamer is the announcer of the show.

The first host of the program was David Frost, who was abruptly replaced after about three weeks with Bill O'Reilly. The current host is former Today co-host Deborah Norville, who took over for O'Reilly in 1995, and remains the host to this day.

Besides providing news, Inside Edition also does investigative reporting on controversial subjects. For example, reporter Matt Meagher examined claims made by Peter Popoff who sells "Miracle Water."[1] Meagher confronted Popoff who slammed his Porsche door on the reporter.

Inside Edition has been officially renewed through the 2011-2012 season and is usually the #2 highest-rated syndicated magazine program behind Entertainment Tonight.[citation needed]

[edit] Controversy

Recently a video was leaked to YouTube of a lost tape from when Bill O'Reilly was hosting the show. It shows O'Reilly losing his temper and screaming at the show's director, shouting, "F--- it, we'll do it live!", and then departing angrily.
