No more thumbs on At the Movies'

water cooler topic

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The show that started with Siskel and Ebert is now Lyons and Mankiewicz.

Ben Lyons of "E! News," and Turner Classic Movies host Ben Mankiewicz take over "At the Movies" in September, Disney Domestic Television said Tuesday.

But don't look for the program's "thumbs up-thumbs down" ratings to return. Roger Ebert shares a trademark on it with the widow of his late co-host, Gene Siskel.
