It’s just been announced that Tyra Banks will be the new host of Dancing with the Stars taking over for Tom Bergeron who’s been hosting the show since its debut in 2005. She’ll also serve as Executive Producer. Apparently, she was in talks with the network long before ABC cut ties with Tom and Erin.
The next season of the show will begin in the fall.
