Is Bergeron coming back? Recently, former Dancing with the Stars host Tom Bergeron spoke with TV Guide about the possibility of returning to the ABC TV show.
Bergeron hosted the celebrity dancing reality series from 2005 to 2020 and was replaced with Tyra Banks for the show’s 29th season.
In the interview, Bergeron opened up about being dropped from Dancing with the Stars after 15 years. When asked if there’s a chance he’ll return, he sadly revealed there isn’t:
When people say, “I’m not gonna watch until you’re back,” I say, “Well, there’s really no ‘until’ here.” This train has left the station. I appreciate the sentiment, and I don’t hold it against anybody if they [watch].
Bergeron later reflected on his favorite memories from hosting the ABC TV show, saying his friendships with the cast and crew stand out:
The friendships I have with people who were on camera and behind the camera. I used to throw midseason parties for cast and staff. It helped create a sense of solidarity…and then we’d try to sober up the next day. “
What do you think? Are you a fan of Dancing with the Stars? Do you miss Bergeron on the series?
Big fan of Dancing with the Stars. Really miss Tom Bergeron and hope he returns for 2021 season!
Still watch because I love the dancing. However, changes in the last two seasons, which don’t let Mountain time zone vote, have made me feel my opinion doesn’t matter so I am not as invested in the show as I once was. Really do miss Tom.
No, I’m sorry. I don’t like her so I’m not watching and I love that show. 🙁 She is very irritating.
I really, really miss Tom B. He was classy and funny!! If next season is like this season, unfortunately I won’t be watching. I also missed Len but loved having Derick as a judge!!
Sorry but It is a HARD NO for Tyra as the host! I have watched every single episode since the very start of DWTS and this was not a positive change!
Don’t be sorry…. she’s always dressed like a Circus performer!
New is not always better. Tyra was awful on AGT so whoever thought she’d be better on DWTS should be fired.
I completely agree!
The show is absolutely terrible this season. TB is incredibly awful; her outfits are hideous. It’s as if the show is all about her. The judges are acting like they’re on drugs. The performance numbers are totally over oroduced. No one cared about this year’s “stars”. You have list the heart and soul of the show and certainly the 40-65 year old audience. If producers/ABC thought this is what they needed to do to get the 18-49 year old demographic, they are incredibly misinformed if they think the younger people have any interest in watching ballroom dancing. I know several… Read more »
Margery, you are correct on all counts. And why in the world do all the advertisers think the world revolves around the opinions of the 18-49 yr. old crowd? And those scary trampy outfits ARE hideous!
Absolutely disliked Tyra !
You’d have the show was about her !!! NOT! The awful clothes, her attitude overall etc was almost condescending. The judges were fun …missed Len, but when you can’t enter other countries etc
Tom Bergeron was the Best & actually really didn’t need a sidekick at all. I recorded each show &
Buzzed thru to the dancing & judging ..& final few minutes each week… bypassed Tyra completely.
Agree completely with everything you said. Tom Bergeron was a great host, and Tyra Banks was horrendous!
Not WAS horrendous, IS HORRENDOUS.
Yes, yes, yes, taping is the only way to avoid her. Who keeps giving her jobs? She’s not in the least likeable or talented!
I thought about doing that , But didn’t.:(
Would definitely welcome back Tom. The clown that hosted the show this season just passed is not watchable. I fast forward through her talking.
I feel the same way. The only thing good about this season was the judges. Love Derek Hough!
I hated Tyra Banks as host. Her stupid catwalk entrances in her flamboyant dresses, made me puke. Please ABC, bring back Tom Bergeron.
Yes on all counts!
I tape the show now so I can watch the dancers and not listen or look at kooky Tyra. Her fashion is way out there!
Those outfits are NOT FASHION Yupitsme.
Yes, we definitely miss Tom and Erin. Please do whatever has to be done to bring them both back!
We have not watched this season at all due to both of them not being hosts.
I absolutely hate Tyra as host as don’t like her clothes nor mannerism and overall am very disappointed that they changed hosts as was definitely a mistake as
Tom Bergeron was so much better
He and Erin have class… that’s what’s missing now.
Makes no difference who is the host. This show is terrible.
I can’t handle Tyra’s way of handling the show – she is just so over the top. Tried to watch but gave up as I cringed everytime she was on air. I was a loyal follower for all the years it was on but no more.
We can only hope that all the advertisers are listening to us!
I really miss Tom Bergeron who was a class act! Tyra Banks is a terrible host and she is mostly in to promoting herself. The judges were excellent and Derek Hough is a star love him!!
