Sadly, Tom Bergeron decided to leave America’s Funniest Video after hosting the show for 15 seasons and for season 26 ABC needs a new host. The person filling Bergeron’s big shoes is Alfonso Ribeiro.
Now you might not think of the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air star as a host, but he has done it in the past. He hosted Catch 21 on Game Show Network, ABC Family’s Spell-Mageddon and Food Network’s Unwrapped 2.0, so he will be fine. In fact, I think the father of 2 is the perfect choice for the job. I know when I heard the news, I did the Carlton Dance. Thankfully, no was here to film it or he would be tossing it to on AFV in the fall!
The Dancing with the Stars contestants have to prep for their performances by getting spray tans, putting on tight shimmery costumes and sometimes also using hair extensions. Well Tom Bergeron found Cheryl Burke’s fake hair, used it as a beard and to retaliate she Tweeted that picture and said, “@Tom_Bergeron stop stealing my extensions wishing u had that much hair!!!!” I hope he doesn’t wish he to have that much hair down there because that image will give me nightmares for days. He looks like an evil character from one of those Grimm Fairytales.
Before NKOTB were performing on Dancing with the Stars hosted by Tom Bergeron, they were doing so as New Kids on the Block on his show People Are Talking. What a head of hair the the 34 year old host has back in 1989.
"Dancing With the Stars" host Tom Bergeron sounds like he’s skeptical about the denials that two of the couples on the show are romantically involved. Bergeron was asked on "The View" if he thought Mario Lopez was dating his dance partner, and Willa Ford was dating the guy she used to dance with before they were voted off. His answer: "Of course they are." Asked how he’d know that, Bergeron said, "I hear things. I see things." He didn’t get more specific, nor did he say if he was kidding. In an earlier episode of "Dancing With the Stars," judge Carrie Ann Inaba told Willa Ford that if she wasn’t dating her dance partner, she should be.
Gotta love him for being honest! And I actually think he did a good job when he interviewed Sara Evans on Tuesday. I forgot that he has a hard news background until he did that interview!
