Ex-‘ET’ host Steines goes to Hallmark

Former “Entertainment Tonight” co-host Mark Steines will host Hallmark Channel’s new talk show, “Home & Family,” The Post has learned exclusively.

Steines, who left “ET” in March after 17 years, will begin his new gig when “Home & Family” premieres Oct. 1.

The new series will air weekdays and joins Marie Osmond’s new talk show, “Marie!” as part of Hallmark’s new programming block.

“Our original lifestyle content like ‘Home & Family’ offers many more opportunities for our advertising partners because we own the content including all digital rights,” says Crown Media president/CEO Bill Abbott.

Steines, who turns 48 today, joined “ET” in 1995 and co-hosted the show with Mary Hart and, later, Nancy O’Dell.

He’s married to former “ET” correspondent and ex-Miss America Leanza Cornett.
