Mario Lopez: "I’m Like A Little Kid Waiting For Christmas"

Just days after confirming the big baby news, Mario Lopez says he's already counting down until he is officially a dad!

“I am so excited. I’m fired up. I’m like a little kid waiting for Christmas,” Mario told Ryan Seacrest today, though he admits, “I feel like such a kid myself still. I was like, ‘Whoa! Does this mean I have to grow up?’”

So can we expect a unique Hollywood baby name from Mario, 36, and his girlfriend Courtney Mazza, 28?

“I don’t know what to do about the name thing,” the Extra host says. “I like names that mean something. I don’t want to get too creative.”
