No one can replace Tom Bergeron. Big mistake.
Diversity ☑️
Annoying and what the heck does she know about dance 🙄
Very disappointed
Have zero desire to watch DWTS again. After Bobby Bones won, I flat out refused to ever watch that popularity show anymore. Good riddance.
I sure hope she's off the adderall by then. Last time I saw her she was talking non stop, laughing when no reason to, and way too animated. Slow her the fuck down.
horrible choice. horrible wigs. overbearing thinks every show is about her(like how the houses on ANTM always had 167 pictures of her in it from before she got chunky of course)
NOPE
Is this a diversity move?
how the fck does she keep getting these gigs? the viewers never like her besides on ANTM which is her own tired show.
She’s garbage.
Letting TomBergeron go will be the death knell for DancingWithTheStars. He is synonymous with the show...
Wait what is this picture
I wish I still watched this show so I could stop watching this show.
“Banks discussed her new job on during a Good Morning America appearance Wednesday morning, mentioning the significance of being the franchise's first Black host. 'I like breaking those doors down so that we don't have anymore firsts.” Disney PR goal achieved. Bye Tom.
Boycott.
Nope. She is a cruel person.
No.
What about Lisa Canning?
First Black host is an odd way of saying first non Bergeron host
I wonder if I can be the first Federally declared mentally disabled co host in the franchise history.
She killed it as the host of AGT, so they had no other choice but to hire her.
of all the black people(and of course it had to be black to fit the current agenda) they could choose they go for the most lame obvious choice. doesnt help black community to give same few people all the big jobs
Bergeron was let go for three reasons Straight-white-male
Didn’t see that coming. Not.
Great person , bad move on this dinosaur of a show
Tyra keep a check.
Good pick. Tyra was verbally abusive to contestants on ANTM.
No.
I’m sorry but ABCNetwork should be embarrassed! Wrong decision. This will be a disaster! Goodbye DWTS
Stopped watching when they had Sean Spicer on.
Tyra Banks she’s lovely 🌟
Nobody cares. 🖕
I’m ready for a new face. Welcome, Tyra!
Sounds like she became executive producer and pushed for this move. Who knows but I quit watching this show years ago.
Ewwwww
ps9714 Aaaaaand, it's goodbye to 'Dancing With The Stars'. Won't survive without Bergeron...was barely hanging onto ratings the last couple of seasons.
Did they watch her on America's Got Talent? She was an awful host and brought nothing to the table. Poor decision
I haven't watched this show in years. I think I only watched the first 2 seasons.
It’s already jumped the shark this just harpoons it
?
Good for Tyra. She is always making coins.
ps9714 Still not watching. All the real 'stars' was season 1 & 2.
ps9714 Don’t care. There are much more important things going on right now.
Would only watch for makeover week. Will celebs cry when she gives them a pixie cut?
OMG! Go back and watch the season she hosted Americas Got Talent There's a reason she didn't last very long My guess is they're intending on bringing on more ex-Trump players & we all know how Tom felt about that Time to say a final goodbye to this show
This is crap on a stick. Looks like DancingABC wanted a one way ticket to crapville. TYRA doesn't exude anything f But fakeness
And there goes another series!
Ghetto ABC just loves Ghetto
Nothing against her, but they could have done better.
Tom Bergeron will also be replaced by someone black ABC HATES white people !!
Calm down Over excited squeaky voice Beauty and brains
Whatever it takes to keep herself relevant 🙄
No excited about this choice. So many other qualified candidates.
She wasn’t good on AGT I have little hope for her on DancingWithTheStars They made a mistake getting rid of Tom.
Can’t believe they fired Tom. Horrible decision. Guess ABC didn’t watch Tyra on AGT? Yikes... not great.
:(
Ugg
Smh crabs in a bucket! But she needed a job so hey
Dancing With the Stars has no stars. Just cancel the whole thing. Tom was the only reason to watch.
Interesting! Especially with everything that’s going on. Dumb move because tyrabanks doesn’t stay in one place for too long.
How horrible 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻 DWTS
😬😳
Oh boy
Are shoulder pads coming back into style?
ABC is racist af! They fired a guy who's been there since Day 1 because, as ABCNetwork rep said, they wanted to add diversity. DancingABC and ABCNetwork are cancelled in my home.
Now ill watch...BarbieEyeCandyHost ..💋💋✔✔🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🥳🥳🥳
I do like Tyra, but she was not good on AGT. So not sure how this is going to go.
Just watch, she's going to make Val and Peeta dance to 'Shake Ya Body.'
Just cancel it
Why not get Wayne Brady? He dances and sings and America loves him! ❤️🥰🥰🥰
LarzMarie ecareyo congrats to the team
Huge downgrade.
Well, that was a Progressive choice
Tyra Banks, a elfa
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Absolute horrible pick 😂😂🤣🤣
