Long-time host Chris Harrison will not be making a return to the Bachelor Nation. Back in June, Deadline broke the career-shifting news that Harrison removed himself from the ABC franchise for good. The exit from the franchise comes after his supported and defended racially insensitive actions by season 25 winner Rachael Kirkconnell. Rachael Kirkconnell was accused of being a “racist” after images resurfaced of her at an “Old South” antebellum-themed party back in 2018. 

Ever since the photos have circulated and caused an uproar, Chris Harrison received flack for his poor statement on ExtraTV with former Bachelorette Rachael Lindsey. After his departure, Tayshia Adams and Kaitlyn Bristowe assisted with Season 17 and 18 of The Bachelorette

The franchise is now welcoming former Bachelor star Jesse Palmer with open arms. The 43-year-old realty-TV alum is returning back to the Bachelor mansion to help guide Clayton navigate his 31 contestants. 

Palmer took on the role of Bachelor in 2004 and hopes to share his personal experiences with the young hopeful. “Falling in love is one of life’s greatest gifts, and I am humbled by the opportunity to return to the show as host this season to offer the newest Bachelor advice gained firsthand experience, and I am grateful to play a small part in his journey,” Palmer recently revealed in a statement.

The gig does not come as a surprise to Palmer, as he has an impressive resume. After finding love on the show, he did not leave the spotlight. Palmer hosted ABC’s Summer series, The Ultimate SurferThe Proposal, in 2018, and in 2007 he was an ESPN analyst. While many might recognize the host for his TV appearances, he has also dominated the football field as a former professional quarterback.
