#We Are Paramount  on a mission to unleash the power of content… you in?
We’ve got the brands, we’ve got the stars, we’ve got thepowerto achieve our mission to entertain the planet – now all we’re missing is… YOU! Becoming a part of Paramount means joining a team of passionate people who not only recognize the power of content but also enjoy a touch of fun and uniqueness. Together, we co-create moments that matter – both for our audiences and our employees – and aim to leave a positive mark on culture.

Entertainment Tonight is looking for a sharp, pop-culture-obsessed Production Assistant to join our team. This is an entry-level role built for someone who's ready to work hard, learn fast, and grow inside the #1 entertainment news brand in the world.

This PA will be assigned to one of ET's Supervising Producers in the NYC bureau, supporting a mix of exclusives, features, red carpet coverage, set visits, and news. One day you might be building a folder off breaking news, the next you're on the ground at a red carpet or a set visit. The best PAs bring editorial instincts to all of it.

If you're deep in a folder on a breaking story and you spot a vault clip that just became gold, we need you to recognize it and flag it. That awareness is what separates a good PA from a great one.

You’ll work directly with a Supervising Producer across ET's NYC bureau coverage, serving as the link between raw footage and finished stories.

Media management — ingest shoot footage, log and label assets, and build organized folders that segment producers can write directly from

Transcription — turn celebrity interviews and field shoots into accurate, usable transcripts on deadline

Morning show & podcast monitoring — watch and transcribe morning news broadcasts and podcasts to flag newsworthy moments before the rest of the day catches up

Exclusives & features support — help prep and execute interviews, shoots, and packages tied to ET exclusives and features

Asset coordination — pull b-roll, photos, social clips, and archival material; track rights and credits

Producer support — research, fact checks, and content prep across broadcast, digital, and social

Field and studio assistance — crew support, errands, and on-the-ground help when shoots need an extra set of hands

Cross-department coverage — pitch in where the show needs you

You live and breathe pop culture — you can name every famous face in a crowded shot

You're fast, accurate, and organized under pressure

You communicate clearly and workwell with a team

You have sharp editorial instincts — you know the difference between a great sound bite and a throwaway line

Must pass a short celebrity knowledge quiz

Degree or internship in TV, film, or a related field is a plus, not a requirement
