Nancy Grace is an American current affairs program hosted by legal commentator Nancy Grace that aired Monday through Thursday nights between February 2, 2005 and October 13, 2016 on HLN. On June 30, 2016, Nancy Grace announced she would be leaving HLN in October,[1] and the final episode aired on October 13, when her contract ended.[2] The show was replaced with Primetime Justice with Ashleigh Banfield, which premiered on October 17th.[3]

Controversies

Grace's comments on the show have garnered significant controversy, most significantly involving the Duke lacrosse case, the suicide of interviewee Melinda Duckett and the death of Caylee Anthony.

Guest hosts

When Grace has to take an evening off (for family reasons, or during her run on cycle 13 of Dancing with the Stars for training, for instance), other CNN hosts substitute for her. Usually the substitute will either be In Session anchor Jean Casarez, Jane Velez-Mitchell, or Inside Edition correspondent Rita Cosby, although Sam Champion from Good Morning America[4] and Pat Lalama[5] have also hosted the program.
