Comics Loni Love and Alec Mapa will co-host the one-night only television event with 104.3 MyFM’s Lisa Foxx serving as on-camera announcer.

Weber has been a force in Hollywood for decades, staring as Brian Hackett in the NBC hit comedy Wings for eight seasons, the mini-series The Shining, NCIS: New Orleans, iZombie, 13 Reasons Why Murder in the First, and currently as Dr. Dean Archer in Chicago Med since joining the hit series in 2021.

Weber and McCormack are longtime friends host the popular podcast Eating Out with Eric & Steve which launched in March.

“With Eric McCormack on Broadway we needed to find someone to fill in as host. But it couldn’t be just anyone,” said Lead with Love 4 Executive Producer Brad Bessey. “It needed to be a bona fide star who has charm, charisma and a passion for Project Angel Food’s mission which makes the Steven perfect fit. It also helps that he’s one of Eric’s best friends and he is funny as heck.”

Weber added, "Since Eric is flitting about with theatre-folk, I am once again doing the heavy lifting in this relationship by hosting Lead with Love for Project Angel Food which Eric had hosted for the last three years. I love this organization and can’t wait. And I hope that the KTLA audience will feel that I do, if not a better job than Eric, a handsomer one.”
