We know Will Smith can slap someone older and smaller than him. But there is something he can’t do, and Alfonso Ribeiro told E! News’ Adrienne Bailon what it is
When the Dancing with the Star host was asked who he wanted to compete on the dancing competition, he said Will Smith. So Bailon wanted to know why he wants his Fresh Prince of Bel-Air to do it. “How much fun would it be that I get to watch Will Smith be bad at something,” he said. “Will can’t dance. I have seen Will, and he can’t dance.”
And that is a massive statement coming from the guy who gave us The Carlton.
Although, I won’t criticize the DWTS champ’s dance moves. Not because he won, but my JHS alum originated the role in The Tap Dance Kid on Broadway and danced with Michael Jackson in a Pepsi commercial.
Back to Smith’s lack of dancing skills. Now it looks like we know why Jada Pinkett Smith sought another lover. Too soon?
Three years ago, Dancing with the Stars screwed up huge time when they fired Tom Bergeron and replaced him with Tyra Banks. Even he was not a fan of their decision
So how does Tom Bergeron feel about the new hosting duo? He said, “Glad the show’s in good hands. Their feet ain’t bad, either 🪩😉👍🏼” Since both of them won the Mirrorball trophy at least once, he’s not lying.
When Hough saw his post, she responded with, “These feet could never fill your shoes, but I’ll bring my own and hope I do you proud! I absolutely learned from the best! I completely and utterly adore you @tombergeron ❤️❤️❤️”
I feel the love. Something that has been missing on DWTS since Tyra Banks entered the ballroom. I am so happy it is back. Not enough to watch again, but still, it is nice!
They say bad things come in threes. And we can say that about the number of years that Tyra Banks hosted Dancing with the Stars. It is strike three for the former model because she told TMZ she is leaving hosting to focus on her business.
“I feel it’s really time for me to focus on my business and my entrepreneurship, and also producing more TV — but behind the scenes,” Banks said. “I think it’s time to graduate from the dance floor to the stock market floor.”
Instead, she will focus on her ice cream company and producing shows behind the scenes, which includes an upcoming business show.
Talking business. I believe that Disney opted not to renew her contract because I have never seen a host be as hated as she was for doing this job. She was such a ratings killer the once-popular show went from ABC to Disney+. So I am sure Disney+ will keep her co-host Alfonso Ribeiro on as a host and maybe add Cheryl Burke to the show to help him out.
Are you going to miss seeing Tyra’s face and awful fashion choices on our TVs? On that note, imagine how much DWTS is saving by not having to dress her every week.
Have you ever wondered who inspired Alfonso Ribeiro to dance the way he did on The Fresh of Bel-Air? Was it Belinda Carlisle from The Go-Go’s as she assumed? Nope. It was actually the way Bruce Springsteen and Courteney Cox danced in Dancing in the Dark.
So, yesterday when the Boss was on The Tonight Show, Jimmy Fallon wanted to know what he thought of that. He laughed and said, “Well. My dancing is pretty embarrassing. And my kids kill me on that. ‘Dad, you look ridiculous. Ridiculous.’ It is my New Jersey Shuffle. I guess. It is all I knew.”
And then Springsteen said he saw the resemblance as we all do now. And we won’t be able to unsee it.
Two years ago, Dancing with the Stars wrongfully fired Tom Bergeron as the host. For some reason, they thought that Tyra Banks would make a better choice. They were wrong.
Now that the show has a new home on Disney+ starting on Monday, the dancing competition asked Alfonso Ribeiro to co-host with the unlikable model. And he said yes.
The Dancing with the Stars winner has already taken one of Bergeron’s jobs. So, how does the former America’s Funniest Videos host feel about him taking another one of his gigs? Today, Bergeron tweeted, “Couldn’t be happier for my friend. Break a leg next Monday @alfonso_ribeiro (perhaps there should be a better ‘good luck’ idiom for a dance show 🤔😉)”
To which the Tap Dance Kid responded with, “Thanks Tom. Hope to make you proud.” I am sure he will.
And hopefully, Bergeron will get another job soon that Ribeiro can replace him on in a few years.
