Mario Lopez hosted the Animal Planet program Pet Star. The show is a competition between owners and their trained, trick-performing pets. On a scale from one to ten, three celebrity judges evaluate the tricks. In the end, the three pets with the highest scores emerge as the episode's finals, and the audience votes for the winner. Then, at the conclusion of the season, the victors fight to become the year's ULTIMATE PET STAR. The winner of a regular program receives $2,500, while the grand prize winner receives $25,000.
