The Houghs will officially reign o'er the Dancing land... ‘Dancing With The Stars’ Replaces Tyra Banks With Julianne Hough - DeadlineJulianne Hough will replace Tyra Banks as co-host of Dancing with the Stars. Alfonso Ribeiro will return as co-host of the franchise, which airs on Disney+. It’s unclear for now who will take over the main emcee role, but it seems likely that Ribeiro will assume those duties while Hough conducts dancer interviews. An ABC spokesperson describes them both as co-hosts and said further details about their specific roles will come later. The news comes after Banks revealed last week that she is leaving the competition show that she joined in Season 29, when she took over for the departing Tom Bergeron. Her hire was an attempt by ABC to both mix up the energy in the show and add some much-needed diversity to the long-running franchise. Last season, DWTS paired Banks with Season 19 Mirrorball champion Ribeiro. Hough is a two-time champion in the ballroom before she left the show to become a recording artist and actress. She returned to Dancing with the Stars in 2014 when she served as a permanent judge for three seasons and was also a judge on Season 14 of America’s Got Talent. Though Disney+ hasn’t officially announced that DWTS is returning in the fall, it’s clear the company remains committed to the franchise that has long been a loss leader. Alhough several key players decided to leave after last season — like Len Goodman as judge and Cheryl Burke as one of the pros — the show will clearly go on with a 32nd season. The judge panel will feature Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli and Derek Hough. |

Boo about Julianne. She's fine, I guess. Just a bit too chipper for me. She and Alfonso together are going to be A LOT. I was hoping they'd hire Cheryl. Maybe there's still a chance for her if they decide to stick with four judges, although I was hoping they'd hire Maks to replace Len and Cheryl to co-host.

She is chipper, but not as kiss-assy as her brother.... and overall NOT Tyra. I am OK with it I guess. |

I’m glad that it will stream live on Disney+, too. I don’t have broadcast TV, and I like watching it live.

I wonder how they're going to handle commercial breaks on Disney+. Will those viewers get other content or are they going to do commercials on Disney+ as well? I love that, as soon as Tyra left, ABC picked the show back up again  |

Amazing news! Guess Tyra was the reason it left. I don't care if that is not the real reason, it will always be the real reason in my mind.

If we can't have Tom back, I think they've finally hit on the right combination for hosts... and it's on ABC again. I'm excited! |

Hough looks so different! linkFor Season 32, Ribeiro will serve as the emcee on the ballroom floor while Hough will be up in the skybox, speaking to the teams after they perform. “The love that he has for this show is so pure,” Hough says of her co-host. “The friendships that are made here are lifelong. It feels like it’s just gonna be like a peek into our friendship and our lives. With this season specifically, we are all so close. We’ve been friends for over 10 years. It’s like the ‘Friends’ cast. We’re going to be friends for the rest of our lives.” Ribeiro feels that Hough is “absolutely perfect” for the role, and can’t wait to get to work with her. “She knows what it’s like to go through the experience. I think last season, me being up in the sky box when they brought that role back to the show, it felt right for me because I had been a contestant,” he explains. “Julianne has the expertise as a professional that she can really dive in to the technical aspects and the heart and the journey, but from a different side. It’s gonna be very exciting to do that.” |

‘Dancing With The Stars’ Pro Witney Carson Not Returning For Upcoming SeasonAugust 28, 2023 7:53am The upcoming 32nd season of Dancing With The Stars will be without Witney Carson. The longtime DWTS pro dancer announced the news Sunday that she would not be returning in a video on TikTok. “This was not a decision that we took lightly at all,” Carson said in the video. “We definitely thought and prayed about it for a while, but we will not be doing Dancing With the Stars this season. As much as that pains me to say, I just felt very at peace with it.” Carson won the Season 19 mirrorball trophy with Alfonso Ribeiro in 2014. She and husband Carson McAllister share son Leo, 2, and 3-month-old Jet. “You guys know that family is the most important thing to me, and we just really felt that moving our entire family across the country right now was not for us,” Carson shared. “Leo’s at an age where he needs consistency and dependability, and he hasn’t had that ever since he’s been born. We’re just really trying to give him that right now. “I also feel like I’m not quite mentally and physically ready for what the show calls for,” Carson added, but said she hopes to eventually return to the show. “I love dance that is my passion, so this was definitely a hard decision,” she said. “But I will be rooting for everybody on the show, I cannot wait to watch. I’m so excited. I definitely think this is just a break. I hope it’s not goodbye. But for now, we will be their No. 1 cheerleader watching. Love you guys.” It was announced last week that Charity Lawson, who is coming off Season 20 of The Bachelorette, will be among the celebrity cast, along with Ariana Maddix. The full cast of celebrities and pro dancers will be announced on September 13. DWTS is co-hosted by Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough, featuring a panel of judges including Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli and Derek Hough. The series is produced in front of a live audience by BBC Studios Los Angeles Productions.

Glad to see that Ariana’s not partnered with Derek. I guess they were just messing with us by using the “with pro partner” language. (Either that, or like in many news stories these days, the reporter sucks at writing, and there’s no editor to fix things.)

I like her on Sweet Magnolias. I haven't seen her on any realty shows. If she works hard, I'll be happy to watch her. Better than sitting back and expecting her sister to support her. After what she's rumored to have gone through getting pregnant with her daughter, she deserves some good things in her life.
As usual, I don't know who the athlete is and I only know the VPR girl because of the cheating "Scandoval." NO clue who the social media girl is or the real estate guy. I only know Matt Walsh by name.
I'm thrilled to see Alyson Hannigan on the list, but NO, she's not from HIMYM; she's from Buffy the Vampire Slayer!
I feel like I say this a lot, but poor Peta  Why do they keep doing this to her?
Tyson and Jenna are going to look great together!
Looks like the next Arnold sister made pro.

Actually, according to IMDB.com (Internet Movie DataBase), she was in both!

I think Critical is just saying they should acknowledge the one true show that is Buffy the Vampire Slayer from which we know and love her. 😊 I was really surprised they didn’t mention it. I’m not familiar with Sweet Magnolias Critical. I’ll have to check it out. As for other reality shows, Jamie Lynn was on Season 1 of Special Forces. |

It's all about Buffy. Sorry, but that sitcom role was something anyone could have played. NO ONE could have been a better Willow.
I forgot she was on Special Forces. She went home so quickly. Sweet Magnolias is, well.....sweet. It's not the best thing on Netflix and JLS isn't the best actress on the show, but she's pleasant enough in a role that doesn't give her all that much to work with.

Peta said she wanted to do it, or are you referring to her partner? Partner. She hasn't had a good one in ten seasons; since Nyle in season 22. She's becoming the female version of Jonathan, with so many bad dancers.
I like the pairing of Aly and Sasha. I think they'll be great together. I do wonder if there wasn't another, shorter guy who they could have paired with Charity. Even though Artem's only 5'10", he's still going to tower over her. He'll be able to fling her around like a rag doll.
