Alfonso Ribeiro opened up about 31st season of “Dancing with the Stars” in a recent interview.
In July 2022, Ribeiro was announced as a “DWTS” co-host alongside Tyra Banks, who replaced veteran host Tom Bergeron after he was fired from the show in 2020. Ribeiro is also “DWTS” champion after winning the mirrorball trophy in season 19 eight years ago.
On September 30, 2022, Ribeiro was a guest on Sherri Shepherd’s daytime talk show, “Sherri,” where he talked about his family life and his two TV hosting jobs on “America’s Funniest Home Videos” and “Dancing With the Stars.”
Ribeiro told Shepherd that his role as co-host in the “DWTS” skybox is a “very specific job to help the contestants sell themselves to America.” He also revealed two stars who are surprise standouts to him.

The “Dancing With the Stars” cast includes several stars who have no dance experience, including actor Jason Lewis and “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star Teresa Giudice, who were the first two contestants eliminated.
