Disney names replacements: Ben Lyons, Ben Mankiewicz

This just in from the Chicago Sun-Times:

One day after Roger Ebert and Richard Roeper signed off as hosts of “At the Movies,” Disney ABC Domestic Television announced their replacements along with a new format for the Chicago-based syndicated movie-review show.

Ben Lyons and Ben Mankiewicz were named Tuesday as co-hosts of show when its new season begins Sept. 6.

Lyons, the son of film critic Jeffrey Lyons and grandson of columnist Leonard Lyons, reported on movies for E! Entertainment.

Mankiewicz, the grandson of screenwriter Herman Mankiewicz and great-nephew of director Joseph L. Mankiewicz, was a host for Turner Classic Movies and Sirius Satellite Radio.
