Exclusive: Jill Wagner Wipes Out of ABC's "Wipeout"

After four seasons as one of the hosts on ABC's hit competition series "Wipeout", Jill Wagner is bouncing on to new things.

Wagner will continue to be seen on the show's upcoming summer episodes, but plans to depart after that to focus on her acting career. Producers Endemol USA and Matt Kunitz are currently conducting a search to find her replacement as host along side John Henson and John Anderson.




"After four seasons of co-hosting 'Wipeout' I have been given the opportunity to pursue new directions in my acting career, which I am very passionate about," Wagner tells TV Guide Magazine.

"I am extremely grateful to all those at 'Wipeout', Endemol and ABC, who have been so supportive of me through these years."




Wagner has been a part of the show, reporting from "Wipeout's" obstacle course (while the two Johns comment from the booth), since its 2008 debut.

It's unclear where Wagner will end up next, but it's probably safe to say that big, bouncy red balls won't be a part of it.
