Mario Lopez still has daily access…

NBCUniversal has renewed its daily talk show Access Daily with Mario & Kit, featuring the 50-year-old Mexican American actor and television host, and Access Hollywood through 2026 in syndication.

The studio has sold entertainment news show Access Hollywood to NBCUniversal Local’s NBC Owned Television Stations, along with leading station groups across the country, for two additional seasons, said Tracie Wilson, Executive Vice President, NBCUniversal Syndication Studios & E! News.

“We’re thrilled to continue our successful partnership with the NBC-owned stations, bringing the ‘Access’ brand to local stations for additional seasons,” Wilson said. “Our talented hosts have incredible chemistry and our seasoned production team work tirelessly to bring viewers quality content each day on Access Hollywood and Access Daily.”

For the 2023-24 season, its 28th in broadcast syndication, Access Hollywood is averaging about 1.1 million viewers daily.

“Access Hollywood and Access Daily deliver engaging and entertaining content to our audiences, which has made them an indelible part of our NBC stations’ lineups,” said Therese Gamba, Chief Marketing Officer & Executive Vice President of Acquired Programming, NBCUniversal Local. “We’re excited to continue to serve as the home of Access Hollywood and Access Daily in leading markets across the nation.”

Lopez has served as a host on Access Hollywood since 2019.

Access Daily, a spin-off of Access Hollywood, debuted on September 13, 2010. The daytime talk show – currently hosted by Lopez and Kit Hoover, features entertainment news stories and in-studio guests.

There’s more talk in Karamo Brown’s future.

The 42-year-old half-Cuban American television personality’s syndicated talk show Karamo has been renewed for a second season.

The news was announced by Tracie Wilson, Executive Vice President, NBCUniversal Syndication Studios & E! News.

To date, Karamo is sold in 85% of the country and appears on leading station groups including Nexstar, Weigel, Tegna, Sunbeam, Hearst, Sinclair, Capitol, Block, CW Plus, Mission Broadcasting and more.

The conflict talk show addresses a wide range of topics, including infidelity, DNA mystery, parenting, and complex family dynamics.

The show also features a popular segment called “Unlock The Phone,” where guests have the opportunity for Karamo’s investigative team to uncover their partners’ cell phone history to identify potential infidelities.

In its first season in national broadcast syndication, Karamo is averaging over 600,000 daily viewers in 2023, up 18% over its performance for fall 2022.

“I’m beyond excited for a second season where we will continue to bring the audience compelling stories, helping everyday people have life-changing breakthroughs,” Karamo said. “NBCUniversal Syndication Studios and the station groups have been so supportive and I’m so thankful to them. As an openly gay and black man hosting a syndicated daytime talk show, this means so much to me, but also to a community that often isn’t represented.”

Karamo is executive produced by Kerry Shannon and co-executive produced by Gloria Harrison-Hall. The show is distributed by NBCUniversal Syndication Studios, and produced by Stamford Studios Production.
