Throwing shade. Nick Viall reacted in real time to Chris Harrison‘s claims that the season 21 lead wanted to replace the former Bachelor host as the face of the franchise.
“So, he said I was gunning for his job? But he didn’t list me as one of the people who reached out?” the reality star, 42, asked his cohosts on the latest episode of “The Viall Files,” which was posted on Wednesday, January 11.
Viall noted he was “really disappointed” to hear what Harrison, 51, had to say about him. “I am not mad — I am just disappointed,” he continued. “I think Chris [should] take more accountability for what [he] did. And again, I have never been like Chris’ bestie. I am just disappointed. I am pretty sure Sean Lowe would have taken the job if he was offered it.”
The Wisconsin native’s response comes days after Harrison alleged that Viall was trying to get his job in the aftermath of his 2021 firing.
“I knew about certain cast members who were calling in. And the funny thing is, the people who were calling in I knew had no chance to get the job,” the TV host shared on his “The Most Dramatic Podcast Ever,” which released two episodes on Monday, January 9.
When speaking specifically about Viall, who has admitted in the past that he threw his name out there for the gig, Harrison said: “Nick wasn’t really strongly against me or said anything. But, you know, I think Nick was one of those among many who probably saw the blood in the water and saw the opportunity of a job that would be really phenomenal. And I had no doubt he wanted that job. But we saw each other at Wells [Adams] and Sarah [Hyland]‘s wedding and gave each other big hugs.”
The Texas native revealed that he believes Adams, 38, should have replaced him following his franchise exit.

More than friends? Vinny Guadagnino and Gabby Windey have sparked romance speculation with their flirty social media exchanges since meeting as contestants on season 31 of Dancing With the Stars — and the MTV star is giving Us Weekly an exclusive update.
One can only imagine the blank check that Bill Lawrence has from Apple TV+ after the massive success of his “Ted Lasso,” which he co-created and has won the company dozens of awards, putting them on the TV map. He used that cachet for this week’s likable dramedy “Shrinking,” a show that almost brazenly sets up character archetypes and then asks its cast to push through the clichés of their shallow descriptions.
Now that Lucy Hale has dated an older man, she might never go back!
After tuning into Chris Harrison’s new venture, Rachel Lindsay has determined that “The Most Dramatic Podcast Ever” isn’t a show meant for her — and she’s OK with that.
The next 12 years might not actually be too bad for Todd Chrisley…
You might not think that a TV series about a therapist struggling with the death of his wife and a career listening to other people talk about their issues would be a comedy from the co-creator of “Ted Lasso.” And yet, “Shrinking” does appear to be another Bill Lawrence-produced, feel-good comedy, coming to Apple TV+ later this month. As mentioned, in the trailer for “Shrinking,” we see the series follows the story of a grieving therapist (Jason Segel), as he struggles to come to terms with his wife’s sudden passing, while also raising a young daughter and trying to balance a career.
Not holding back. As a former ABC employee, Chris Harrison shared his thoughts on the scandal surrounding Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes — and offered to share his lawyer’s contact info if they need it.

SPOILER ALERT: After an explosive Season Two finale of The Mosquito Coast, a decision looms imminently on whether Apple TV+ reups. It so, the third season heads right into the territory of Paul Theroux’s 1981 novel that Peter Weir turned into a cult classic movie with Harrison Ford, Helen Mirren and River Phoenix. The one where Ford’s brilliant counterculture inventor Allie Fox becomes so obsessed with imposing a vision of utopia that he nearly takes down his family. Here, the author discusses seeing his famed novel pre-quelized by Neil Cross (Luther), the improvements over his book, his nephew Justin starring, and why he’s so rooting for one more season.
