Lopez to be solo host of "Extra"

July 30, 2008 by Veronica Villafañe

 

Mario Lopez will be the new solo host of “Extra.” The 34-year old actor, who jumped to fame in the late ’80’s and early 90’s sitcom “Saved by the Bell,” has been a correspondent for the syndicated entertainment newsmagazine and co-host of its weekend edition since January 2007. TVNewsday reports he will take over from co-hosts Mark McGrath and Dayna Devon on September 15, when the show begins its 15th season.

 

Mario has been very busy lately – he was a finalist on “Dancing with the Stars,” is appearing on Broadway in a revival of the musical “A Chorus Line” and was named People magazine’s “Hottest Bachelor” of 2008.
