It appears that, at least for now, Mario Lopez will be going it solo when it comes time to host the next season of The X Factor. Lopez is returning to the singing competition series, but it will be without his co-host from last year, Khloe Kardashian.
Kardashian didn’t exactly win over X Factor fans last year, so it’s not much of a surprise that only one of the show’s hosts was invited to return.
And thus far, Fox has only confirmed two judges: Simon Cowell and Demi Lovato.
Commenting on returning for his second season, Lopez said, “I’m looking forward to returning to X Factor team. We’re coming back stronger and better than ever, and I’m excited to check out all the new talent.”
“I’m thrilled Mario is back for Season Three of X Factor,” added Cowell. “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.”
Auditions for The X Factor‘s third season are currently underway. The next stop on the open auditions schedule is set for April 25th at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Long Island, NY.
