Mario Lopez named new solo host of Extra

Looks like Dayna Devon is getting demoted and Mark McGrath is leaving to go back to Sugar Ray.

http://hollywoodinsider.ew.com/2008/...-lopez-to.html


Mario Lopez -- the Saved by the Bell alum who's enjoyed a career resurgence thanks to stints on Nip/Tuck and Dancing With the Stars -- will take over as host of the weekday syndicated show Extra beginning Sept. 15. Lopez had been serving as a correspondent and co-host for Extra's weekend edition since January 2007. Extra co-host Dayna Devon will become a special correspondent, and Mark McGrath will go back to making music with Sugar Ray, which is expected to release another album in early 2009. Extra begins its 15th season this fall.

I guess they are trying to increase the number of women and gay men who watch that show.

I guess so. I only watched the show sporatically and it always seemed like the 3rd wheel amongst on those so-called entertainment news shows.

I did like Dayna Devon though, especially when she wore the short skirts with the long boots.

Nope they broke up. He apparently was banging Meaghan from I survived a Japanese Game Show while still dating Karina.

Now, he is with neither..

I did a google search and saw 'former Hooters waitress.' That was all I needed to know.

I'm not surprised.

How his career extended beyond Saved by the Bell bewilders me.

I remember him from Pet Star, my then 3 year-old's favorite show.

Also from IMDB:
He allegedly cheated on his wife-to-be, actress Ali Landry, one day before the wedding and after the wedding. He was caught by onlookers cheating at his bachelor party. This is why Ali Landry got the marriage annulled.

I gotta admit I liked him on Dancing With The Stars, but after seeing those shirtless pictures in People Mag and his Burt Reynolds Cosmo Centerfold copy, he is just creeping me out.

Isn't that why McGrath was hired to begin with?

What I found creepy about it was his shaved or airbrushed pubes.

I hate that Dancing with the Stars is bringing all of these random hangers on back into the spot light and they just won't leave.

His marriage to Ally Landry ended because he was cheating. Damn, that guy gets a lot of p@$$y.

Yep, and after what he did to Ali Laundry by cheating on her on their honeymoon. I would think women viewers would be turned off by this jerk and not watch whatever show he's on.

He comes across as the nicest guy but he's a womanizer. May be the Latino in him.

An amazing tool. And I don't mean in a good way.

Earlier this year, when he took a celebrity run in "A Chorus Line" on B'way, he wanted the "most impressive guns" onstage and forced the other guys to cover up their biceps.
