No need for Miss America to miss Mario Lopez.
The Saved by the Bell teen turned Dancing With the Stars comeback kid has been tapped to host the 2009 Miss America pageant, the second time he will preside over the poise-a-palooza.
"Mario and the Miss America Organization's past relationship has proven beneficial, and we look forward to having him in Vegas again this year," said Brent Zacky, programming V.P. for TLC, which will again televise the ceremony.
Lopez last hosted in 2007. His next time to shine is Jan. 24.
