Mario Lopez Joins ‘Access Hollywood’

Mario Lopez is joining “Access Hollywood.” The surprising news comes as Lopez will be exiting his long-time hosting gig with “Extra.” Beginning Monday, Sept. 9, entertainment veteran Mario Lopez will join Kit Hoover and Scott Evans as host of both “Access Hollywood” and its daytime counterpart, “Access Daily” (formerly “Access Live”). 

In addition, Lopez has signed an overall development and producing deal for both scripted and alternative programming with Universal Television and Universal Television Alternative Studio. 

“I have long admired the team at NBCUniversal and all the shows being produced,” Lopez said about the new overall deal. “I’m thrilled to have an opportunity to join in that success and develop scripted and alternative projects on their many creative platforms.”
