The former Dancing With the Stars host has a new gig.

Tom Bergeron. It has been nearly two years since Tom Bergeron was fired from his role as host of ”Dancing with the Stars.” The veteran TV host helmed the ABC celebrity ballroom competition for 28 seasons, from 2005 to 2020, before he and his longtime co-host Erin Andrews were replaced by Tyra Banks. Bergeron was beloved by many fans, but there was no love lost when he exited DWTS. During an interview on the “Here For You” podcast, Bergeron revealed that he wasn’t shocked by his firing because he had previously butted heads with ABC producers and executives over the casting for the show.
“The show that I left was not the show that I loved,” Bergeron admitted, adding that he still looked back on his many years on the show with “great fondness.”
“At the end of the season that turned out to be my last season, I kind of knew,” Bergeron added. “So I took everything out of my dressing room that I really wanted. I wasn’t surprised that was my last season, so there was no blue period. Actually, I think Erin and I had more fun being fired than virtually anybody.”
But for fans who have been crying the blues ever since Bergeron left his hosting career, there is some good news.
