Meanwhile, of new host Tyra Banks, who also serves as one of the executive producers in season 29 of the show, Andrew Llinares says that she ‘is doing an amazing, amazing job.’
Oct 1, 2020
AceShowbiz – “Dancing with the Stars” shocked everyone after it was revealed that OG host Tom Bergeron and co-host Erin Andrews were axed from the show and replaced by Tyra Banks. Now, executive producer Andrew Llinares has explained why the show made such a surprising decision.
“I think it’s all about evolution. I think any show like this that has been on many, many seasons needs to continue to evolve,” he explained during ABC’s VirtuFall panel on Wednesday, September 30. “I think changing the host was all about evolution, it was about making the show feel fresh, making it feel new [and] kind of make it reach out – maybe to a new audience as well, as well as the audience that’s been there for years.”
Of new host Tyra Banks, who also serves as one of the executive producers in season 29 of the show, Llinares shared, “I think it’s working brilliantly with the one host. I think it’s really refreshed the pace of the show, actually.”

“I think it’s taken it to a new pace, in terms of moving faster and just feeling different. I think there’s a real danger when a show’s been on for a long time that the audience almost gets bored of the rhythm. It doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with it. It just sort of gets a little boring – the rhythm of it. So, I think it’s changed the rhythm of the show in a really exciting way,” he added.
He continued, “Tyra is doing an amazing, amazing job. It’s just so wonderful to have her energy in the ballroom and her expertise as a host in the ballroom. I think I think she’s brought a new life to everything. It’s really exciting.”
ABC announced Tom and Erin’s exit in July. “Tom Bergeron will forever be part of the Dancing with the Stars family. As we embark on a new creative direction, he departs the show with our sincerest thanks and gratitude for his trademark wit and charm that helped make this show a success,” ABC and BBC Studios said in a joint statement.
“Erin will also not be returning, and we appreciate all that she brought to the ballroom,” the statement continued. “Fans have been rooting for her since she originally competed as a contestant back in 2010, and her signature sense of humor has become a hallmark of the show.”

The new host for the current season 29 has taken to her TikTok account to address criticism over her minor mistakes in the latest episode of the long-running ABC show.
Sep 24, 2020
AceShowbiz – It seems like Tyra Banks’ hosting gig on “Dancing with the Stars” isn’t always going smooth. The new host for the current season 29 has taken to her TikTok account to address criticism over her minor mistakes in the latest episode of the long-running ABC show.
“Tonight I hosted the second episode of ‘Dancing with the Stars’… and yeah, it wasn’t perfect,” Tyra said on Tuesday night, September 22 in a video that appeared to be shot in her dressing room. “Yeah, I had a lot of fun but I messed up, I said the wrong words, but I kept, kept going.”
She then compared her mistake to contestant Skai Jackson’s. In the said episode, the 18-year-old Disney star made a fairly significant misstep while dancing a Samba with pro partner Alan Bersten which made her almost fall amid the performance.

“She got back up and she kept going, and because of that she’s here for another week,” the former “America’s Got Talent” said. Sharing the moral message of the blunders, she shared, “So the message is: I messed up this week, Skai messed up this week, but we’re gonna keep on going and going. Forgive yourself when you mess up and keep going.”
This is not the first time for Tyra to face backlash after she took over the hosting duty from Tom Bergeron and his co-host Erin Andrews. Viewers pointed out that Tyra made numerous mistakes including stepping on her lines and even occasionally calling contestants by the wrong names.
Fans of the show were also upset with the firing of Tom and Erin. Addressing the matter, Tyra previously said, “Tom, I respect you so much. What you have done for ‘Dancing With the Stars’, there’s a reason why it is a successful show. Yes, amazing producers, yes, amazing concepts, but [you]. I hope to do you proud.”
She went on to say, “And if I make mistakes, I want you to hit me up in the DMs and let me know. Like, ‘Girl, you messed that up.’ Because I want to make you proud. Thank you so much.”
