Bob Harper Replaces Alison Sweeney As ‘Biggest Loser’ Host

After Alison Sweeney stepped down as host of The Biggest Loser, the show didn't have far to look to find a replacement. Longtime trainer Bob Harper will take over as host when the show returns for Season 17.

"I'm super excited about taking the position of host on The Biggest Loser," said Harper in a statement. "I've been with the show since season one so I know all of the ins and outs, and let me tell you, the weigh-in room is going to be a completely different ballgame with me at the steering wheel."

Trainer roles will be assumed by Dolvett Quince and Jennifer Widerstrom, with Harper giving contestants training advice throughout the season, which begins filming September 17.
