Mario Lopez to be announced as new host of X Factor USA

Meet your new X Factor USA host. While I was rooting for Khloe Kardashian, Mario Lopez is a better choice, why?, he has more experience and I can’t get enough of that smile.

According to the NYPost:

Mario Lopez, host of the nightly entertainment news show “Extra,” is expected to be named the new host of Simon Cowell’s “X Factor” — and it may be as soon as this weekend.

Lopez, 38, will keep his job on “Extra” — which tapes at LA’s The Grove, a sprawling shopping mall, located next door to the studios where “X Factor” originates.

The talent show has gone without a Ryan Seacrest-type figure since the new season started last week.

Kardashian — who is new to the rigors of hosting — and Lopez have about a month to practice together before they make their live debut, sources indicated.

All the best Mario.
