I find it funny that a critic can't come to "financial terms" with a company. Interesting new co-hosts though.

Veteran film critic Roger Ebert, who gave his weekly opinions of film with "At the Movies" for 23 years, quit the show Monday after Richard Roeper could not come to financial terms for his new contract with Disney-ABC Domestic Television, which distributes the syndicated TV show.

Roeper's contract had expired after eight seasons, reported Variety.

Disney announced that E! critic Ben Lyons and TCM host Ben Mankiewicz have signed on to co-host the new show.
