Due to the coronavirus, the fall schedule of broadcast television is pretty much up in the air for most shows including Dancing the with the Stars.
Today when Tom Bergeron was on Extra, they asked him if the ballroom will be open in the fall. He says, “I think that is the hope.” However, he added, “It’s hard to imagine, right now, a scenario where 700 people in an audience and 24 sweaty dancers can all be in the same room. We’ll see if some variation of that is concocted.”
There is a way they can do it remotely. So many dance studios are closed because it is not an essential business. Therefore, each couple can get their own studio. The judges and the hosts can go live from their homes. Sadly, there will be no studio audience. I think they would be worth the sacrifice to bring the dancing competition back in a few months.
