LOS ANGELES — Over the years, TV’s best-known movie- review show has gone from hosts Siskel and Ebert to Ebert and Roeper to Roeper and guest critics — and now it’s Lyons and Mankiewicz. Ben Lyons, a Hollywood reporter and film critic for “E! News,” and Turner Classic Movies host Ben Mankiewicz will take over “At the Movies” when its new season begins in September, Disney-ABC Domestic Television said Tuesday.
Don’t look for the syndicated program’s “thumbs up-thumbs down” ratings to return. Roger Ebert shares a trademark lock on it with the widow of his late co-host, Gene Siskel, and Ebert has said they’re hanging on to it.
