Tyra Banks has been named the new host of “Dancing With the Stars,” ABC announced on “Good Morning America” Wednesday.
The “America’s Next Top Model” star will join the ballroom dancing competition as host and executive producer, taking over for Tom Bergeron and co-host Erin Andrews, who were let go from the show earlier this week. She will be the show’s first new main host since its premiere in 2005.
“I’ve been a fan of ‘DWTS’ since its beginning … The fun mixed with raw emotion, seeing celebrities push past their comfort zones, the sizzling dance performances … it’s always transported me to my days of turning it up 10 notches on the catwalk,” Banks said in a statement. “Tom has set a powerful stage, and I’m excited to continue the legacy and put on my executive producer and hosting hats.”
