Mario Lopez Is New Dimple Face of 'Extra'
Bauer Griffin Online

Jealous diva/Broadway sensation Mario Lopez has been named as the new host of TV's Extra. Current host, Sugar Ray frontman Mark McGrath, has been sacked and his co-host Dayna Devon has been demoted to special correspondent.

The celebrity infotainment show returns for its 15th season on September 15 and has been renewed through 2011 to 2012. So Mario Lopez could have a full-time gig that doesn't involve dance practice for quite some time.

Beginning last year, "Hot bachelor" Lopez was the Extra weekend edition host.

McGrath reportedly plans to return his focus to music, and is working on a highly requested Sugar Ray reunion album. You just got replaced by A.C. Slater; please don't prolong the humiliation.

Quotables /
“After wrapping up his recent stint on Broadway in Chorus Line, Mario Lopez is returning to the small screen with a regular daily hosting gig on Extra. As the tabloid TV show returns for its 15th season, Lopez will be replacing the show's current host Mark McGrath.

As for Mark's co-host Dayna Devon will be bumped down to a "special correspondent" status, with Lopez charged with carrying the major hosting duties for the show. Hmm, maybe Slater was worried her muscles were more impressive than his.”

“According to the New York Post Page Six, TV show Extra is planning to make some major changes and one of them is rumored to be by firing hosts Mark McGrath and Dayna Devon. Their replacement is said to be Mario Lopez who once worked for the show.

Although the show sucks, Mark McGrath is SO much hotter than Mario Lopez so that would be a step down for them.”
