"Bachelor" host Chris Harrison will replace Terry Crews as the host of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" in the fall.
Harrison will continue his hosting duties on "The Bachelor" franchise, which includes "The Bachelorette" and "Bachelor in Paradise".
The popular Crews, who also co-stars on the Fox sitcom "Brooklyn Nine-Nine", is leaving to focus on his prime-time TV work and on his movie roles.
Crews hosted the syndicated daytime show for one season, inheriting the gig from Cedric the Entertainer — who, in turn, replaced "Millionaire" daytime host Meredith Vieira.
Regis Philbin hosted the original nighttime version on ABC.
“We thank Terry enormously and are very grateful for the time and energy he put into the show this season,” Lisa Hackner, ABC’s executive VP of Daytime & Syndicated Programming, said in a statement.
Harrison has hosted "The Bachelor" and "The Bachelorette" since 2001 (19 seasons) — and, for the past four years, co-hosted ABC’s live coverage of The Miss America Pageant.
