A few weeks ago, Chris Harrison announced that he was taking a break from The Bachelor due to insensitive comments he made and that he would not be hosting the After the Final Rose special. Today, ABC announced that Emmanuel Acho will be filling his shoes for the special episode.
“I’ve accepted the Rose and am honored to be hosting the @bachelorabc After the Final Rose this year,” Acho wrote. “It’s been a pivotal season, and this episode will hopefully be one of the most storied shows in TV history. Empathy is needed and change is coming. Share the news! I’ll see y’all then! 🌹 ❤️”
If you are like me and don’t know who he is. He wrote the book Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man that answers the racial questions you’ve been too afraid to ask. He also played for the NFL for four years, and he hosts Speak for Yourself on Fox Sports 1.
Personally, I wish they gave the job to Wells Adams. But then again, I don’t watch The Bachelor.
