Tom Bergeron and Erin Andrews not returning as hosts. Replaced by...Tyra Banks?

This show is still going on? I thought it ended years ago. They should have black hosts, though. And only black judges. And only black pro dancers. The contestants can be white but only if they lose early. The studio audience should be black.

Tom was a perfect host. You cannot beat him for professionalism. Zero reason to boot him. Tyra Banks is one of the most ANNOYING """stars""" in the cosmos. She is dumb as a bag of hammers and is caustically self absorbed. I can't watch more than a few seconds of her on screen. Repellent.

DwtS has not been nearly as good as it was (production level dropped severely years ago) but I still watched. I can't watch Tyra. Can't do it. Not even with the fast-forward technique. Don't want to see her. It's over for me.

not SHOCKING

It's like they're *trying* to ruin the show. Tom was perfect. If they wanted to make a change, drop Erin. Tyra has no idea how to manage a joke or funny situation.

Ugh.

I remember her stint on AGT.

All the charisma of a dishrag.

I just knew they were going to play their fake diversity card and just award the spot to a floosie like Tyra. She seriously has no screen presence as a TV host, let alone actress. There's a reason she never made it in the movies even though she was awarded prime roles for a time.

Dancing with the Stars boss on firing Tom Bergeron and Erin Andrews: The show needed to evolve

“I think it’s all about evolution," showrunner Andrew Llinares told reporters today. "I think any show like this that has been on many, many seasons needs to continue to evolve. I think changing the host was all about evolution, it was about making the show feel fresh, making it feel new (and) kind of make it reach out — maybe to a new audience as well, as well as the audience that’s been there for years.” Llinares also thought it was a good idea to change the format to have only one host. “I think it’s really refreshed the pace of the show,” he said. “There’s a real danger, when a show’s been on for a long time, that the audience almost gets bored of the rhythm of it. It’s changed the rhythm of the show in a really exciting way (to have Tyra Banks hosting solo). Tyra’s doing an amazing, amazing job.”

Bergeron stopped short of explaining precisely what had driven a wedge between himself and the show's producers. But some believe he may be referencing a public stance he took against the booking of Sean Spicer, press secretary for former President Donald Trump, on the show's 28th season.

In a statement released on Twitter during the summer of 2019, Bergeron outlined a discussion he had with the show's new executive producer over Spicer's controversial addition to the show's lineup. He explained that in offering up suggestions, his "chief among them was my hope that DWTS, in its return following an unprecedented year-long hiatus, would be a joyful respite from our exhausting political climate and free of inevitably divisive bookings from ANY party affiliations." Bergeron added that even though he left the meeting believing the two parties were in agreement, "a decision was made to, as we often say in Hollywood, 'go in a different direction.'"

"It is the prerogative of the producers, in partnership with the network, to make whatever decisions they feel are in the best long term interests of the franchise," Bergeron wrote at the time. "We can agree to disagree, as we do now, but ultimately it's their call."
