Tyra Banks confirmed that she is stepping away from her hosting gig at “Dancing With the Stars” after three seasons.
Although no replacement has been announced at this time, fans are not hesitating to voice their opinions on who they want to see as the new host.
Could Alfonso Ribeiro And Gabby Windey Co-Host?
Alfonso Ribeiro joined Tyra Banks in co-hosting the reality competition show last season, and although Banks has announced her departure, it seems Ribeiro will stay on.
One Twitter account asked their fan base if Alfonso Ribeiro should take over as host of the show, to which one user said yes, but also wants “Bachelorette” star Gabby Windey to join him. “I hope gabby Windey join Alfonso Ribeiro,” they Tweeted.
Windey just wrapped up co-hosting the “Dancing With the Stars” live tour and is very popular amongst reality television fans, so this could be a possibility.
Many others took to Windey’s Instagram post to throw the idea out there, hoping the reality star will catch wind and become the next co-host of the show. “Please tell us that you are taking over for Tyra, as host of DWTS??? 🤞❤️,” one fan wrote as another chimed in, “u would be such a fun host next season!! 😉.”
“i wanna see you in sparkly fringe again as the HOST of @dancingwiththestars 👏🔥🔥,” a third said.
What About Tom Bergeron?
Others would love to see the original host of the show, Tom Bergeron, make a comeback.
“Can we finally bring #Tom_bergeron back to dancing with the Stars so there’s a reason to watch it? I haven’t watched #dwts since he left!,” one fan Tweeted.
While another said, “thank God she was a train wreck, painful to watch and the reason I stopped watching […] should never have got rid of Tom Bergeron,” in reference to Tyra Banks taking over as “Dancing With the Stars” host.
And one fan Tweeted, “About damn time!!! The ONLY acceptable person to take over is Tom Bergeron!! #bringbacktom.”
While one user Tweeted at the “Dancing With the Stars” Twitter account, saying, ” if y’all bring back Tom Bergeron I’ll watch again.”
Tyra Banks Speaks Out
Tyra Banks confirmed that she is stepping away from her hosting gig at “Dancing With the Stars” after three seasons.
“I feel it’s really time for me to focus on my business and my entrepreneurship, and also producing more TV — but behind the scenes,” Banks said. “I think it’s time to graduate from the dance floor to the stock market floor. … from the ballroom to the boardroom!”
When asked to clarify if that meant she would no longer host the Disney+ reality competition show, she responded with “Don’t you think it’s time? Yeah, I think it’s time.”
“I’m an entrepreneur at heart. … I think my heart, my soul, is into my business, it’s also into producing new TV. … But, I really, really want to focus on my business, and you can’t do that hosting a show,” she continued.
At this time there is no word on who will replace Tyra Banks as host of “Dancing With the Stars”.
