So we announced a few months back that Mario Lopez was basically in for season 3.
In a statement, producers said: “Khloe Kardashian will not be returning to co-host The X Factor. We really enjoyed working with her and wish her all the best in her future endeavors.”
Of Lopez, Simon Cowell added: “I’m thrilled Mario is back for Season Three of The X Factor. Hosting a live show and keeping the judges – especially Demi – in line, is not an easy job, but Mario is a pro and we are glad he’s coming back.”
Here are the official tweets.
I'm excited to officially announce I'm returning to the @TheXFactorUSA team! We're coming back stronger & better than ever… Can't wait
