Will Jesse Palmer Be the Permanent Host of 'The Bachelor'? A Former Star Has Some Insight!

Jesse Palmer will be taking over as the host of The Bachelor for Clayton Echard‘s season and one person from the franchise thinks he’ll likely be the new permanent host.

For those who don’t know, the 43-year-old former football player starred in season five of The Bachelor back in 2004. He has since gone on to have a successful career in television with hosting duties on Good Morning America and Daily Mail TV.

Nick Viall, a prominent star from Bachelor Nation, has a theory about Jesse‘s hosting gig for The Bachelor.

“I don’t think you bring in someone like Jesse Palmer for one season,” Nick told People. “I think they brought in him to be the long-term host. They haven’t really said that, so maybe they’re leaving the option open and that’s just a total guess on my part, but I would think that that would be their intention.”

Jesse got married in 2020 and it was just revealed a few months ago.
