Giovani “Gio” Benitez is ready to walk the (night)line…
The 29-year-old Latino television correspondent will host Nightline on Fusion, Fusion’s one-hour weekly edition of ABC News’ Nightline.
Co-hosted by Fusion’s Kimberly Brooks, the network’s edition will feature contributions from additional ABC News and Fusion talent. Nightline on Fusion will include stories from the late-night program — the ones that “resonate with Fusion’s young, diverse millennial audience” — as well as original content produced for Fusion, that network said.
Fusion will begin broadcasting its weekly edition on February 18 at 8:00 pm ET.
Fusion was launched as a joint venture between Univision Communications Inc. and the Disney/ABC Television Network on October 28, 2013.
Benitez serves as a correspondent for ABC News, appearing on Good Morning America, World News Tonight, 20/20 and Nightline.
He has won two television news Emmy awards.
You’re awesome Gio! We love you! Good luck and best wishes ALWAYS!
So proud of the Cubanitos at ABC NETWORK. Afiliates couldn’t contain your talent, so off to network you went. It was go big or go home and you went BIG. You make your people proud. <3 #CubanAmericansFTW
