Mark McGrath to be replaced by Mario Lopez on Extra

Filed under: , ,

Who’s ready for a Sugar Ray reunion? Anybody? Hello?

Well, ready or not, you’re going to get one. Mark McGrath, the Sugar Ray frontman-turned-entertainment-reporter is leaving Extra. Some reports say he’s been fired, but The Hollywood Reporter is claiming that he really just wanted to get back to the band.

McGrath has been on hiatus from Sugar Ray for the past three years as he hosted Extra, but now the band is heading back to the studio and Mario Lopez is stepping up to take his spot behind the anchor desk. Lopez’s much lauded muscles are apparently

too big to share the stage, though. McGrath’s co-host, Dayna Devon, has been demoted to Special Correspondent and backup host for Lopez.

I will always look at Lopez as A.C. Slater, so the notion of him fitting a “journalist” kind of makes me laugh. But soon after again, it’s not like Mark McGrath was precisely the moment coming of Cronkite. Besides, anyone who could stand 6 inches absent from Miss Teen South Carolina as she rambled on about “The Iraq” without totally losing it obviously has some talent.
