Derek Hough is going to be a dad in a few months, and that is not his only new job. The dancer is dancing his way over to Extra TV as the new host, replacing Billy Bush.
Hough said, “The ballroom has been my stage, my home, and my launchpad. Now, I’m stepping into an exciting new spotlight as the host of ‘Extra.’ I’m truly looking forward to collaborating with this incredible team, diving into this next creative chapter, and connecting with fans and audiences in a whole new way. It’s an honor to join a show that’s been a cornerstone of entertainment news for over 30 years — and I’m ready to help lead it into a bold, fresh new era for Season 32 and beyond.”
Fun Fact: He is not the only Dancing with the Stars personality to be the face of the entertainment news show. Mario Lopez was the first one when he hosted it from 2008 to 2019.
Fun Fact 2: This was a role he was born to play!
