In 1991, the New England Journal of Medicine reported that Hart's voice, perhaps best described as perky, had triggered seizures in an epileptic woman. http://tafkac.org/faq2k/television_307.html This was later referenced in an episode of the NBC sitcom Seinfeld, where Kramer (Michael Richards) suffers from convulsions whenever he hears Hart's voice.

Ms. Hart is perhaps best known for her ample legs, causing Hanes Hosiery to choose her to endorse their line of pantyhose in 1987. She has never worked barelegged while hosting Entertainment Tonight.
