===Original series=== The network was known early on for its daily video simulcast of the ''[[Howard Stern]] [[The Howard Stern Show|Show]]'', which aired from June 20, 1994, until July 8, 2005, weeknights in a truncated half-hour form, airing three times in late night. The program was discontinued several months after Stern moved to [[Sirius XM|Sirius Satellite Radio]] and sold the video rights to his show to pay-per-view provider [[In Demand]] as a monthly pay offering (video rights are now held by Sirius XM).<ref>{{Cite web|title=E! pulls the plug on Howard Stern|url=http://www.today.com/popculture/e-pulls-plug-howard-stern-wbna8321127|access-date=2021-03-06|website=TODAY.com|date=June 22, 2005 |language=en|archive-date=July 30, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210730223022/https://www.today.com/popculture/e-pulls-plug-howard-stern-wbna8321127|url-status=live}}</ref> E! is known for its live red carpet pre-shows for the industry's three prominent award shows, the [[Primetime Emmy Award]]s, the [[Golden Globe Award]]s, and the [[Academy Awards]], and were famous for their fashion critiques by [[Joan Rivers]]; Rivers also hosted post-awards specials under the title ''[[Fashion Police]]'', which became a regular weekly series in September 2010. In April 2017, it was announced that E! had acquired the [[People's Choice Awards]], which will move to the network from [[CBS]] in 2018 with a new November scheduling. The network promoted that the show would be given an "end-to-end" experience that will leverage its existing experience in awards show coverage.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://deadline.com/2017/12/peoples-choice-awards-premiere-date-e-den-of-thieves-jesse-ignjatovic-evan-prager-1202226809/|title=People's Choice Awards Sets Premiere Date For Inaugural Telecast On E!|last=Ramos|first=Dino-Ray|date=December 14, 2017|work=Deadline|access-date=December 14, 2017|language=en-US|archive-date=January 18, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180118003816/http://deadline.com/2017/12/peoples-choice-awards-premiere-date-e-den-of-thieves-jesse-ignjatovic-evan-prager-1202226809/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://deadline.com/2017/04/peoples-choice-awards-cbs-e-1202063827/|title=People's Choice Awards Moves From CBS To E!|last=Andreeva|first=Nellie|date=April 6, 2017|work=Deadline|access-date=December 14, 2017|archive-date=December 11, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171211003611/http://deadline.com/2017/04/peoples-choice-awards-cbs-e-1202063827/|url-status=live}}</ref> As ratings declined across all of cable television overall, the People's Choice returned to broadcast television in 2021, with E! simulcasting the ceremony with NBC. The network also produces many documentary and biographical series, most notably ''[[E! True Hollywood Story]]''; many of E!'s original specials are entertainment-related ranging from light fare (such as ''25 Cutest Child Stars All Grown Up'') to serious fare (such as ''15 Most Unforgettable Hollywood Tragedies''). It also produces specials centering on investigative and crime stories including ''E! Investigates'', which features topical investigative reports on subjects ranging from [[child prostitution]] to [[teenage pregnancy]]. In recent years, the network has become known for its [[reality television]] programs. Its most popular series for over a decade has been ''[[Keeping Up with the Kardashians]]'', which spawned eight [[Spin-off (media)|spin-off series]] and countless specials.

Handler also produced ''[[Love You, Mean It with Whitney Cummings|Love You, Mean It]]'', a weekly comedic look at pop culture hosted by [[Whitney Cummings]], and a nightly talk show from actress [[Busy Philipps]], ''[[Busy Tonight]]''. ''The Soup'' returned in February 2020, with new host [[Jade Catta-Preta]], though it, and many of E!'s in-studio shows, were cancelled in the last quarter of 2020 due to the effects of the [[COVID-19 pandemic]] hampering production. On September 8, 2020, it was announced the network's most popular series ''[[Keeping Up with the Kardashians]]'' would be ending with season 20 in 2021.
