Mario Lopez Jumps Ship With Extra After 11 Years!

It\’s the time of year when Summer really heats up and thankfully re-runs will make way to a fresh new Fall Season on TV.  It also means that contracts are up or extended or some of our favorite hosts fade off into syndication.  But if you\’re really lucky in this fickle world of the small screen you find a new network to call home. Nobody knows that better than TV veteran Mario Lopez.

Lopez is joining “Access Hollywood” and its companion daytime program, “Access Daily,” as the entertainment news programs’ newest host,

The longtime “Extra” host will join Kit Hoover and Scott Evans as a host on both shows beginning Monday, Sept. 9, filling the seat vacated by Natalie Morales  The Saved By The Bell Alum will also develop and produce content for Universal Television.
 
When one TV personality exits another one finds new life. And now Billy Bush is sliding into the anchor seast left empty by Mario on \”Extra\”.  Oh the title of the show is so special it\’s now being called \”Extra..Extra\”!.  If you want more of the backstory on Mr. Mario \”Dimples\” Lopez check this out:  https://people.com/tv/mario-lopez-joins-access-hollywood/
