Acho is aware that he’s coming into the franchise at a critical time.
“This is the most uncomfortable conversation in the history ofThe Bachelorfranchise,” he said onGood Morning America.
“Because it’s not just about relationships, but now it’s about race.

We’re intertwining race with relationships on one of the greatest unscripted shows in the history of television.”
Acho is excited to join the show and has big plans for hosting the special.
Acho previously opened up toPeopleabout what the hosting gig means to him.

“This is huge for me in the work for racial reconciliation,” he said.
So, it’s a humbling opportunity and it’s a privilege to be considered."
Acho has been previously approached by the franchise, although not as a host.
