'At the Movies' gets news hosts Lyons, Mankiewicz
LOS ANGELES -- Over the years, TV's best-known movie review show has gone from hosts Siskel and Ebert to Ebert and Roeper to Roeper and guest critics.
Now it's Lyons and Mankiewicz.
Ben Lyons is a Hollywood reporter and film critic for "E! News" and others. He and Turner Classic Movies host Ben Mankiewicz will take over "At the Movies" when its new season begins in September.
That's according to Disney Domestic Television.
But don't look for the syndicated program's "thumbs up-thumbs down" ratings to return.
Roger Ebert shares a trademark lock on it with the widow of his late co-host, Gene Siskel, and Ebert says they're hanging on to it.
