Terrence J replaces Seacrest on E! News

Beginning tonight, “106 & Park’s” Terrence Jenkins will replace Ryan Seacrest as co-host of E! News with Giuliana Rancic. His debut will feature an exclusive interview with Chris Brown.

The move comes as the hour-long show looks to expand beyond celebrity, focusing more broadly on pop culture, politics, fashion and music, according to the Hollywood Reporter. Jenkins, formerly known as Terrence J, will join Rancic on the weekday news desk, working on personality profiles and other reporting for the show.

Jenkins, who has appeared on-screen in such films as “Stomp the Yard,” “Think Like a Man” and “Sparkle,” talked to The Hollywood Reporter about the advice from Seacrest, the way he plans to differentiate the newscast and his longer term plan to build a Seacrest-meets-Will Smith empire.
