Mario Lopez says he hopes his unborn baby with girlfriend Courtney Mazza is as fun as his French bulldog puppy, Julio Cesar Chavez Lopez.

"I am so excited dude, I'm fired up! I'm like a little kid waiting for Christmas!" he tells Seacrest.
Lopez — who won't find out the baby's sex beforehand — says his family has been impatient for him to become a father.
"This is really late for me. In Mexican years I should have three to four kids right now!" he jokes. "My family was like 'About time!' when I told them!"
