As we know, Dancing with the Stars is moving from ABC to Disney+, and that Alfonso Ribeiro is joining the dancing competition as a co-host. What we didn’t know is when the series will launch on its new home.
Today, the streaming service announced that it will debut on September 19th. So add that date to your calendars.
I kind of want to watch it now because you know that Tyra Banks is not going to want to share the spotlight. And Ribeiro is from Da Bronx. We might be Riverdale, but you still don’t mess with us. So I can’t wait to see him take her down. Because I can totally see her asking him to do the Carlton, and he doesn’t do that anymore.
As we know, Dancing with the Stars is moving to Disney+ this season. However, we didn’t know if Tyra Banks would be back as the host of the show.
Today, the streaming service announced that the much-hated host would be back for a third season. But she will not be alone. She is going to be joined by the much-loved Alfonso Ribeiro.
“‘Dancing with the Stars’ has been such an important part of my life for so many years, and I am ecstatic to officially re-join this tight-knit family as co-host,” said Ribeiro. “Tyra and I have a longstanding friendship that I hope will resonate with all of the fans at home as we kick off this new season on Disney+.”
Let’s see how well their friendship lasts when they work together on the show. What was I thinking? She, work with someone else without any issues? No. To me, it seems that she is all about herself and doesn’t like to share the spotlight with anyone, including the contestants.
That is the negative of contracts. It is so hard to get rid of someone once they signed on the dotted line. Hopefully, her contract is only for three years and not for longer than that.
Oh, and Disney+ also revealed that Len Goodman, Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli, and Derek Hough will all be back.
DWTS does not have a premiere date yet. Does this news make you want to watch it, or has the show danced into the sunset for you?
Yesterday was the third installment of Live In Front of a Studio Audience on ABC, and they added a new element to it thanks to Ryan Reynolds’ company Maximum Effort. They created several fake ’80s-like commercials with Alfonso Ribeiro, Jennifer Beals, Bob Vila, Joe Isuzu, aka David Leisure, and Reynolds.
They were the best part of the show, and I hope they turn it into one. I want more fake ads because they were the type I created in college. That could be why my teachers told me not to go into advertising. That was the only lesson I learned from them.
Before Alfonso Ribeiro was doing fake ’80s commercials, he did a real one with Michael Jackson for Pepsi. He looks the same now as he did when he was 12 in that 1984 commercial.
Alfonso Ribeiro is as known for his acting as a dance he created during his career. Not the one he did in The Tap Dance Kid, his Michael Jackson moves from a Pepsi commercial or anything from his winning season of Dancing with the Stars, but, of course, it is The Carlton from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
It is so popular that when people see him, they sway back and forth with their opposite arms going up and down as he did. However, he doesn’t do it back. That is because he told People magazine he hasn’t done it since he won DWTS in 2014. In fact, he says, he “put it away.”
There has to be a way we can get him to do it again. Any suggestions, let’s hear them? We need to see him do The Carlton again.
