Change can be a good idea.
This was previous Bachelorette participant Mike Johnson‘s position while going over Chris Harrison‘s exit from The Bachelor franchise. Still, the TELEVISION character wasn’t fast to cross out the longtime Bachelor Nation host.
“Chris Harrison, I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again, he lives in Austin, I live in Austin. Let’s go have a barbecue,” he shared on the June 8 episode of E! News’ Daily Pop. “I think that for the people saying, ‘I won’t watch the show because of this or that reason,’ like, change can be a good thing. The young man was there for 19 years, he did a great job.”
Yet, Mike made it clear that it was time to seek to the future as he included, “Let’s keep it moving.”
For those who might’ve missed it, after 19 years of hosting The Bachelor and its spinoff reveals, Chris exposed on June 8 that he was completely stepping down from his function. This statement followed Chris had actually currently stepped aside from Bachelor Nation following his defense of Matt James‘ last increased recipient, Rachael Kirkconnell. Rachael was met debate throughout season 25 when images from 2018 emerged of her participating in a plantation-themed celebration.
