From iwatchstuff, Yesterday, it was announced that both Richard Roeper and Roger Ebert would be leaving At the Movies with Ebert and Roeper. But that doesn't mean ABC is abandoning the format of two guys talking about movies that has kept viewers casually watching when nothing else on! Variety reports that At the Movies will forge on, replacing the Sun-Times reviewers with a host from Turner Classic Movies and an E! critic who makes appearances on Good Morning America and the esteemed Access Hollywood. Also, satellites will be involved:
Disney ABC’s venerable weekly TV review show “At the Movies” confirmed Tuesday that Ben Lyons and Ben Mankiewicz will co-host the next iteration of the series when its 23rd season begins the weekend of Sept. 6. On Monday, Chicago Sun-Times staffers Roger Ebert and Richard Roeper quit the series.
“At the Movies” also plans to introduce a new look and segments to the show in September, including a “Critics Round-Up” during which the co-hosts will engage with other critics via satellite from cities across the country.
To further update the long-running series, the name will be changed to Who the Hell Are These Guys & Why Are They at the Movies?
