DWTS hosts Tom Bergeron and Erin Andrews cut from the show
As TV Shows Ace reports, Tom Bergeron and Erin Andrews are no longer the show’s hosts. This comes as a shock to fans, as he hosted the show for 15 years. It’s unclear why these changes were made, especially since he is so loved by viewers. Plus, Andrews was a host for six years. On this change, Inaba says, “I feel like it was just such sudden news. My heart breaks for Tom [Bergeron] and Erin [Andrews].”
What does Carrie Ann Inaba think of Tyra Banks?
Now, Tyra Banks will be hosting the show. She seems excited to be on board, as she’s been a longtime fan of the show.
Inaba opens up, saying, “I cried when I heard the news, as well as, I think a lot of our fans did. People have been saying that Tyra is the first black host of Dancing with the Stars, and I just want to clarify, because season one we had Lisa Canning… Also, I don’t think that’s how we should be labeling her. She’s our new host. Period. It has nothing to do with the color of her skin. I think it has to do with all that Tyra Banks is. All the energy she has. She’s like a visionary, she’s a strong, powerful woman…I think we’re in good hands. It’s different, the fans are going to have to get used to it, I understand that, but I think we should welcome her.”
Fans of DWTS seem to have mixed feelings about Banks taking over for Bergeron and Andrews. Bergeron is a longtime favorite of many fans, so they are sad to see him leave.
