Weissler has been the show\u2019s primary film, music, award show and talent booker for more than 25 years.\u00a0His exit is part of a larger restructuring on the half-hour newsmagazine ahead of its 32nd season.<\/p>\n
More from Deadline<\/strong><\/p>\n Weissler joined the Telepictures production in 2000 to re-establish relationships with the industry when Extra made the decision to move away from the tabloid format and return to a talent-friendly destination.<\/p>\n During his time at\u00a0Extra, Weissler was the first to interview rising artists Katy Perry, Norah Jones, Ed Sheeran and Sam Smith.

He added the role of music correspondent to his resume in 2011, and showcased up-and-coming musical artists like Dua Lipa, Gracie Abrams and Thomas Rhett.<\/p>\n Outside of Extra, Weissler is a recurring guest moderator at the Grammy museum and the National Association of Music Merchants.<\/p>\n \u201cIt is always a thrill both exposing audiences to new artists on the rise, as well as honoring legendary talent still creating and performing,\u201d Weissler said. \u201cI plan on continuing both endeavors in my next chapter, as well as exploring new projects I\u2019m very excited about.\u201d<\/p>\n Prior to\u00a0Extra, Weissler was a producer at KCBS-TV, KNBC-TV and NBC Productions.
