Oh My. TV Guide is reporting that Glee Star, Kevin McHale is in the running to be an X Factor host.
Sources confirm to TV Guide Magazine that Glee star Kevin McHale, who’s portrayed wheelchair-bound Artie on the musical Fox series for the past three seasons, is under consideration to co-host The X Factor this fall.
The 24-year-old actor has a history with the Fox reality competition, having hosted a Pepsi-sponsored, behind-the-scenes featurette during last year’s premiere. In what could also be viewed as a trial run, he co-hosted this year’s Teen Choice Awards on July 22 alongside new X Factor judge Demi Lovato. If McHale does land the hosting gig, Gleeks can rest assured that it will not affect his role on Glee when it returns for a fourth season on Thursday, September 13.
On Glee, as the wheelchair-bound McKinley student Artie Abrams, Kevin is fantastic. He’s easily one of the best singers out of that whole group of performers.
But did you see him hosting The Teen Choice Awards with Demi Lovato a few weeks ago? Can you say AWKWARD? He could barely read off the cue cards. Sigh. By the way, both he and Demi grew up in Texas and have known each other since they were kids.
Also in the running for the job are Khloe Kardashian, Erin Andrews and Kelly Osbourne.
There were rumors that fellow Glee star, Darren Criss was also being considered, but the actor denied the rumors.
