Fans of Mario Lopez will now be able to look lovingly on his dimples five days a week for the next few years - the Latin hunk has been named as the new solo host for Extra, taking over for Mark McGrath who's been kicked to the curb.
The former "Saved By The Bell" and "Dancing with the Stars" star debuts his daily gossip gig on September 15 when the show launches its 15th season. Well, sure he's hot to look at, but isn't this a career breaker?
"Mario has established himself as a highly engaging, likeable and sought-after host and personality," Hilary Estey McLoughlin, president of Telepictures Productions, said in a statement.
The busy actor and "Dancing With the Stars" contestant, who last month was named People's hottest bachelor, joined Extra in January 2007 and co-hosted the weekend edition of the program.
