Before his employment by ABC, Marciano was most recently employed by Entertainment Tonight, where he co-anchored the nightly 30-minute edition of the program as well as the 60-minute weekend edition. He left ET in late August 2014 after 20 months to take a position with ABC. [1]

On November 12, 2012, Marciano was announced as a new co-anchor for Entertainment Tonight, which he would begin doing in January 2013. The choice followed a long search period for a new co-anchor to host the program with Nancy O'Dell, a search that began when Mark Steines left the series after eight years as the primary co-anchor.
