‘Bachelorette’ star Rachel Lindsay to join next season of ‘Extra’ with Billy Bush
TV’s entertainment magazine show “Extra” announced that former “Bachelorette” star Rachel Lindsay will join the daytime Emmy Award-winning entertainment news program when it begins its 27th season on September 8.
Lindsay, who currently co-hosts the “Bachelor Happy Hour” podcast, has been serving as a special correspondent for “Extra” since 2019, covering the Super Bowl and interviewing celebrities including Oprah Winfrey, Kevin Hart, Kiefer Sutherland and Tiffany Haddish.
Not just another pretty face, the accomplished Reality-TV star made history as the first African American “Bachelorette” and also earned a law degree from Marquette University. She’ll be based in Los Angeles alongside host Billy Bush and correspondent Jennifer Lahmers.
The announcement was made by “Extra’s” Senior Executive Producer Lisa Gregorisch Dempsey. “Rachel is dynamic and whip-smart. Being a lawyer, a reporter and a celebrity in her own right, she comes with a connection with the audience that is the ideal fit for “Extra.” I always love watching her interviews and seeing celebrity Bachelor fans get starstruck.”
Rachel said, “I am thrilled to be working with ‘Extra.’ They have an established, respected reputation and are a staple in the entertainment world. I have always admired the engaging, informed, and entertaining stories they bring to life. I am looking forward to joining this Emmy Award-winning team. I am excited to bring my voice, experience and perspective to one of the best in the industry.”
Lindsay is one of two attorneys on the “Extra” roster. Cheslie Kryst, the reigning Miss USA, is also a lawyer and will continue as an “Extra’” New York correspondent alongside Nate Burleson, who is also an NFL Network host and CBS Sports commentator.
“Extra” covers the world of entertainment, pop culture, breaking headlines and politics through the lens of celebrities and with a unique format that brings the viewer inside the fascinating process of newsgathering. Cameras follow Billy Bush and the entire “Extra” team as the day unfolds and the stories develop, to provide a rare peek behind the curtain. In season 27, “Extra” will unveil a fresh upgraded version of the format as the team works both in studio and remotely around the country.
