Tyra Banks Exiting ‘Dancing with the Stars’

Yesterday, Tyra Banks dropped a bombshell when speaking with a reporter from TMZ, while out for a stroll.

Banks shared that she’s not going to be returning as host of Dancing with the Stars, and has decided to focus on the business and entrepreneurial side of her career, plus producing behind the scenes entertainment projects.

This morning on Friday, Banks confirmed the news to Deadline.

Tyra had joined DTWTS in season 29 when she replaced longtime host, Tom Bergeron. She also became an executive producer of the reality-ballroom dance competition.

Last season, DWTS streamed exclusively on Disney Plus, and was taken off the ABC network.  During the last season, Tyra co-hosted the show with Alfonso Ribeiro, although she still presided over the ballroom competition.

Thus far, there has been no news of the next season of the series, although it’s expected to return.  In addition to Banks, dancer Mark Ballas along with the previously announced departure of dancer Cheryl Burke, leave the show with some shoes to fill.

Check out Tyra’s chat with TMZ below.

So, glad Tyra has checked out of Dancing with the Stars? Share your thoughts via the comment section below.

After reading the comments about Tyra leaving DWTS, it makes me wonder if ABC ever listens to what people want in programming. Since Tyra joined, the majority of comments concerning her hosting “style” has been overwhelmingly negative. Instead of righting their wrong, they let the show die on the vine. This reminds me of how I felt when “All My Children” and “One Life To Live” were cancelled and replaced by…never mind I can’t remember…oh yeah, a cooking show. People are tired of talk shows. People are tired of “judge” shows. People are tired of “self help” shows. People are… Read more »

After she leaves they will bring it back with Bergeron in some sort of Tournament of Champion addition. I always wondered why they never allowed for age and seperated the stars willing to admit it by age group. But Game and Talent shows never die they are simply reinvented.

Good I didn’t watch it even one time since they unceremoniously dumped Tom and Erin Andrews. They were great hosts.

Ditto, TEF. I’m not all that thrilled with Julianne hosting either. I find her and Derek (though brilliant dancers) to be too “cream cheesy”, like Donny and Marie Osmond in the 70s. A good host needs a really specific skill set: personality, poise, and a certain maturity. But at least we’re done with The Tyra Banks Horror Show!

She was pitiful. I’m basing that on videos I’ve seen because when Bergeron left, I stopped watching. This show’s time has come.
