More on new America's Best Dance Crew: Jason Dundas replaces Mario Lopez as host

Another detail in the shakeup of talent of America's Best Dance Crew as we described yesterday. Entertainment Tonight's Jason Dundas will take over Mario Lopez's hosting duties.  In 2014, Dundas  signed on to host MTV America’s Beyond Dance, so it is a logical replacement. The show returns Wednesday July 29 on MTV at 11pm ET/10pm CT.  Thanks for the tip Mike! 

 With all the changes, should the show be renamed -- perhaps America's Best Dance Crew All-Star Reboot?

America's Best Dance Crew returns July 29 with all-star dancers and new judges

According to MTV, America's Best Dance Crew will return, but in a different format than the first seasons. The show will start on  Wednesday, July 29 at 11/10c, "when all-star alums of seasons past battle it out in front of judges T-Pain, Teyana Taylor and Frankie Grande. The winners will be crowned in a live episode  that leads into the  2015 Video Music Awards Pre-Show.

So -- new time (an hour later), new judges and no new crews. Should be interesting to see if this new formula will bring back the old fans and revitalize the series.
