: Chicago Sun-Times columnist Richard Roeper announced Sunday he is leaving the nationally syndicated show "At the Movies with Ebert & Roeper" after eight seasons.
: In a statement, Roeper said: "Eight years ago this summer, it was my privilege to join Roger Ebert as the new co-host of 'Ebert & Roeper,' the sequel to the iconic movie-review franchise created by Roger and the late Gene Siskel.
The obvious political issues aside, this really leaves a big gaping hole in both the show's future and the movie review world as we've known it.
