Leah Remini Replacing Matthew Morrison on So You Think You Can Dance

Leah Remini is set to replace Matthew Morrison on So You Think You Can Dance after the judge's exit from the show.

Morrison was fired from SYTYCD two weeks ago for failing to follow "competition production protocols," amid rumors that he sent "flirty" messages to a female contestant. Morrison later denied the claim.

Remini will make her SYTYCD debut on the show's 300th episode, which is set to air June 15. She joins Stephen "tWitch" Boss and JoJo Siwa on the judging panel.

"I am thrilled to join So You Think You Can Dance on its milestone 300th episode," said Remini. "I look forward to guiding these incredibly talented artists through this competition as a fan of the show and a great admirer of dancers. I can't wait to see the artistry that the contestants bring to the stage!"

New episodes of So You Think You Can Dance air on Wednesday nights at 9:00 PM ET on FOX. The competition streams next-day on Hulu.
