Correspondent

 

Will Marfuggi is a correspondent for ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT.

 

An Emmy nominated host and producer, Marfuggi joined ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT as digital correspondent in 2021. He quickly became a go-to source, covering fandoms obsessed with the Marvel Cinematic Universe, The Lord of the Rings, House of the Dragon and Love Is Blind. His interview with Stranger Things star Joseph Quinn has over 1.5 million views on YouTube.

 

Prior to joining ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT, Will worked for E! Entertainment for nearly two decades. In his time there he co-hosted “Quibi’s Close Up by E! News,” as well as hundreds of hours of live shows as the host of “Live From E!” on E!’s YouTube and Facebook platforms.  Additionally, he has produced pieces both in –front of and behind –the camera for “E! News” and made frequent guest appearances on E!’s “Daily Pop.”  His long list of interviewees includes some of today’s most in demand celebrities, athletes, musicians and actors on-set and on the red carpet.  He has traveled the world covering award shows, festivals, premieres, and even the 2012, 2014 and 2016 Olympic Games in London, Sochi and Rio, respectively.

 

Will got his start as a production assistant for the Style Network’s “Style Court,” which led to an associate producer position for E!’s “Celebrities Uncensored” and various E! original specials. He soon began as an associate producer for “E! News” and quickly rose within the ranks as one of their most sought-after field producers working alongside Ryan Seacrest during his tenure at “E! News.”

 

After a stroke of luck and a charming on-camera interview with Angelina Jolie on the 2012 Oscars red carpet for E!’s “Live from the Red Carpet,” Will began his pursuit of on-air correspondent.  In less than two years, he rapidly made a name and place for himself as an “E! News” on-air personality and friendly face to many actors, athletes and musicians.  He has covered everything from post-show red carpets for reality shows, to set visits, premieres, parties and events. 

 

Born and raised in Oldwick, New Jersey, Will attended the prestigious Delbarton School in New Jersey for high school and went on to graduate with a double major B.A. in History and Theatre from the College of the Holy Cross in Massachusetts. He moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in television production after a brief stint as a legal assistant for an accredited East Coast law firm after college. 

 

He currently resides in Los Angeles with his wife, 3-year-old daughter and newborn son. He spends his free time obsessing over Marvel movies and Bravo reality shows, as well as listening to NPR podcasts, playing video games, training in mixed-martial arts and various methods of fitness, and riding his Vespa around town.
