Yvette Nicole Brown to be interim guest host of Walking Dead
Replacement comes after Chris Hardwick has been under review by network following sexual assault allegations
Yvette Nicole Brown is filling in for Chris Hardwick as host of the The Walking Dead and Talking Dead while AMC Networks reviews sexual assault allegations against Hardwick.
AMC announced Friday that Brown will be "interim guest host" of The Walking Dead Season 9 Preview Special on Aug. 5. Brown will also host Talking Dead on Aug. 12.
Brown starred in the NBC comedy Community and was already stepping in for Hardwick as moderator of Walking Dead panels next week at San Diego Comic-Con.
Hardwick has acknowledged that an online post by his ex-girlfriend Chloe Dykstra alleging she had been sexually assaulted and emotionally abused referred to him. He has denied the allegations but has said the couple's three-year relationship was imperfect and included arguments.
