By Will Thorne Staff Writer Mario Lopez is looking for the next big Latin boy band. The “Access Hollywood” host is on board to executive produce “Menudo,” an hour-long competition show in development at Universal Television Alternative Studio.

No network is currently attached to the project and whether or not any of the original band members are involved is as yet unclear. “I grew up as a huge fan of Menudo and I’m thrilled to be a part of bringing this iconic band back to the world,” said Lopez in a statement.
