o The show’s longtime host is done with the popular reality TV dating franchise.
o After 19 years hosting the show, reports from Deadline confirm that Harrison will receive a payout to step away and keep quiet about his sudden departure.
o The news comes after sources confirmed to Variety and People that Harrison would be stepping away from his role as host of “Bachelor in Paradise.”
o As for who will be Harrison's replacement, it was announced that a revolving door of guest hosts would take over as host of the show.
o One of the replacements reportedly being considered is actor and comedian David Spade.
o Some sources even say that Spade is being brought in because producers “want to put some fun in the show. They think it’s become too serious.”
o Of course, Chris first stepped away from his 'Bachelor' duties indefinitely back in February, after he got immediate backlash for defending Rachael Kirkconnell's alleged racist past.
o Many believed Harrison was dismissive and excusing of the racist behavior alleged against Rachael -- who was one of the final few women vying for Matt James' heart on the most recent 'Bachelor' season -- when he was interviewed by former 'Bachelorette' Rachel Lindsay
