Terrence J Replaces Ryan Seacrest As Co-Host Of E! News

Terrence J, former host of BET’s hit show “106 & Park,” has landed another high-profile hosting job.

Terrence J has been announced as the permanent anchor of “E! News,” along with Giuliana Rancic, who has hosted since 2005.

Terrence will replace former host Ryan Seacrest, who left the show earlier this year.

“I’ve always had a passion for the wide spectrum of pop culture that ‘E! News’ covers so well,” Terrence J said in a statement. “I’ve had a great career so far, and it’s all been building towards this.

In May 2012, Terrence J and Rocsi Diaz announced they were leaving the 106 & Park show on BET to pursue other opportunities in the entertainment business.
