Daniel Lubetzky Replaces Mark Cuban On Shark Tank
Mark Cuban announced he was leaving Shark Tank and that Season 16 would be his final season on reality TV. The biggest question was who would replace him. The show kept its other investors, including Barbara Corcoran, Lori Greiner, Robert Herjavec, Daymond John, and Kevin O’Leary. Cuban will also be back for his last season.
However, the show is bringing in a new investor to get acclimated and be ready to take over for Cuban when the billionaire steps away. Lubetzky is the first new regular shark on the show in over 10 years. With Cuban still around for one more season, there will be more of a rotation, but it will give Lubetzky a chance to find his groove before he takes a more prominent spot in the next season.
“It’s an honor to be part of a production that continues to educate, entertain and unite Americans behind the spirit of building together,” Lubetzky said in a statement (via Variety). “I am looking forward to partnering with entrepreneurs from all walks of life as they come to Shark Tank for their chance to realize the American dream.”
