Having the initiative! After much uproar, Dancing With the Stars producers
decided to replace Tom Bergeron and Erin Andrews with Tyra Banks in July
2020. This was not the first time the show hosts had been switched.
From the show’s 2005 premiere to its 2019 season 28 broadcast, Bergeron was
the show’s consistent host. Before leaving the show in the summer of 2020,
he took a short break to care for his unwell father, and former participant
Alfonso Ribeiro stepped in.
But before Andrews joined the show in 2014 (season 18), the former host of
America’s Funniest Home Videos had his share of cohosts.
