Hey there, time traveller!

NEW YORK (AP) – Former N’Sync member Joey Fatone has signed on as co-host with actress Lisa Rinna for the TV Guide Network’s red-carpet coverage of major awards shows.
Their first gig together is the Emmy Awards on Sept. 16.
“Joey is a top-notch professional with a natural likability and great sense of humour, all of which are essential attributes of a red-carpet host,” said network president Ryan O’Hara in a statement Tuesday.
“He will be a terrific complement to Lisa, who is also incredibly charismatic and brings a wealth of fashion savvy and insight,” O’Hara said.
Fatone, 30, is host of NBC’s sing-along variety game show, “The Singing Bee.” He was part of boy band N’Sync and has appeared in several Broadway musicals, including “Little Shop of Horrors.”
In a statement, Fatone said he plans to make “the red carpet experience entertaining, spontaneous and most of all fun – not only for those walking the red carpet, but also for the fans watching at home.”
He will co-host TV Guide’s red-carpet coverage through 2008, including the Academy Awards, Golden Globe awards, Grammy Awards and Screen Actors Guild awards.
Rinna, 44, was announced as a replacement for Joan Rivers on the red carpet in April 2007. Rivers and her daughter, Melissa, launched TV Guide’s red-carpet programming in January 2005. They had previously appeared as red-carpet hosts on E! Entertainment.
Fatone and Rinna competed on separate seasons of ABC’s “Dancing With the Stars.”
