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.
Dancing with the Stars is moving to Disney+ on September 19th with Alfonso Ribeiro and Tyra Banks as hosts, and this morning they announced who the “stars” are going to be on the inaugural season, the series’ 31st.

We knew the names were going to be bad because it was moving from broadcast to the streaming service. However, they are worse than we thought. But, I still have someone to root for, and it is Trevor Donovan. Who are you rooting for?
There are so many reasons not to watch Dancing with the Stars on Disney+. Tyra Banks, as the host, is most of them.
However, today, we found a reason to watch the dancing competition on its new home. According to TVLine, there will be no commercials. Therefore, it will go from one dance to the next and repeat.
That means Tyra won’t have as much time for costume changes. Maybe then she can focus on people that aren’t Tyra.
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?
