AceShowbiz - Chris Hardwick is bouncing back at work. NBC has confirmed that Hardwick will be back to the network for two of its shows.
Hardwick is set to resume his hosting duty on season 3 of game show "The Wall". In addition, he will be making an appearance in the August 7 episode of "America's Got Talent" as a guest jugde.
When Hardwick's sexual abuse scandal broke, NBC released a statement that it would "assess the situation" before deciding whether or not he would continue hosting "The Wall". "These allegations about Chris Hardwick took us by surprise as we have had a positive working relationship with him. However, we take allegations of misconduct very seriously. Production on The Wall does not begin until September, and in the meantime we are continuing to assess the situation and will take appropriate action based on the outcome," the statement read.
Now that Hardwick was cleared from the allegations, which was made by actress ex-girlfriend Chloe Dykstra, he slowly gets his jobs back. Just last week, Hardwick was reinstated by AMC as host of "The Walking Dead" after-show "Talking Dead" effective on August 12. The network also announced that he would return to "Talking with Chris Hardwick".
"Following a comprehensive assessment by AMC, working with Ivy Kagan Bierman of the firm Loeb & Loeb, who has considerable experience in this area, Chris Hardwick will return to AMC as the host of 'Talking Dead' and 'Talking with Chris Hardwick'," an AMC spokesman says in a statement.
Dykstra previously claimed that Hardwick sexually assaulted and emotionally abused her during their three-year relationship. While admitting that their relationship was imperfect, Hardwick denied the allegations leveled on him back in June. He revealed that they called it quits because Dykstra was unfaithful to him.
