Plot twist!
In an unexpected turn of events, actor/comedian David Spade is slated to host Bachelor In Paradise– replacing long-time host Chris Harrison.
But why David Spade?
Fair question, since The Bachelorette‘s hosting role was changed from Chris to former Bachelorettes Tayshia Adams and Kaitlyn Bristowe.
Sources spilled to Page Six, “Spade was picked because he’s a ‘Bachelor’ superfan who’s built a cult following among fellow fans because of the hilarious commentary about the show that he doles out on his Instagram account.”
“An insider says the comic’s a fit because ‘the producers want to put some fun in the show. They think it’s become too serious.’”
