Todd Newton, Alex Wehrley to co-host Sunday's Miss USA Pageant

Reelz says game-show host Todd Newton, actress Alex Wehrley and TV personality Julie Alexandria will step in as co-hosts of Sunday's embattled Miss USA Pageant in Baton Rouge, La.

"Join @ToddNewton, @AlexWehrley & @JulieAlexandria for #MissUSA Sunday on #Reelz!" the cable channel tweeted Tuesday.

The announcement came after Jeannie Mai, Thomas Roberts and Cheryl Burke dropped out of their presenter positions due to their objection to controversial remarks that pageant owner Donald Trump recently made about illegal immigrants from Mexico.

Trump, who is campaigning to be the Republican presidential candidate, has lost endorsement deals and ruined his partnership with NBC because of his political views.

Reelz agreed to air the beauty contest after NBC canceled its scheduled broadcast.
