Early life
Lyons is the son of entertainment reporter Jeffrey Lyons and the grandson of the American newspaper columnist Leonard Lyons.[1]
Career
Lyons started his own production company in 2002 and produced segments for the TV show, Hip-Hop Nation. In 2004, MTV hired him to co-host Your Movie Show. In 2006, Lyons hosted entertainment segments on The Daily 10. In addition, he began to write a column for E! Online called "The Lyons Den".[citation needed] Lyons hosted My Family's Got GUTS, on Nickelodeon and has appeared in Disaster Movie and The House Bunny. He is a regular contributor to Good Morning America. In 2012, Lyons left E! and became a correspondent on Extra.[citation needed] Lyons also joined ESPN as a commentator in 2012.
In September 2008, Lyons became a co-host of the TV show, At the Movies.[2][3] Critics said Lyons lacked a proper understanding of film history,[2] used language that sounded like movie advertising (in order to promote his own profile),[4] and had a conflict of interest with some actors whose movies he reviewed.[2][5] Roger Ebert gave implied criticism of Lyons in his online blog.[6][7] Lyons and his co-host were fired from the program less than a year later, on August 2009.
Lyons also hosts a podcast of The Players' Tribune.[8]
