Could Tom Bergeron Return to ‘Dancing With the Stars’?
Could Tom Bergeron return to ABC’s Dancing with the Stars ballroom? The hugely popular former co-host of the celebrity dance competition is giving some viewers hope with a cryptic tweet on his Twitter profile.
The America’s Funniest Home Videos vet shared a clip of Al Pacino‘s Michael Corleone from The Godfather: Part III, when he says, “Just when I thought I was out… they pull me back in.” Bergeron’s video clip was accompanied by the caption, “Stay tuned…”
While this could essentially mean anything, it’s hard to not feel as though this message is geared towards Bergeron’s Dancing with the Stars fans. Following Season 28, it was announced that Bergeron and his co-host Erin Andrews, would not return for Season 29.
The news was jolting to the show’s many loyal fans who were not shy about the fact that they’re unhappy with the changes. Shortly after Bergeron and Andrew’s unexpected removal, Tyra Banks was announced as the sole host moving forward as she also signed on to executive produce the program.
Stay tuned… 😏 https://t.co/OwsHRrPJwV

Despite a recent set of ratings for its 29th season, it was difficult denying that fans missed Bergeron who had been with the show since day one. Following the show’s Season 30 renewal, it could be a prime time for the familiar face to return.
While there’s no official confirmation regarding Tom’s possible return quite yet, his tweet has us hopeful that there’s something DWTS-related on the horizon. Stay tuned for possible news or debunking in regards to Tom Bergeron’s Dancing with the Stars status.

I commented on Tyra's hosting DWTS. The show is NOT about her, with her lavish costumes and phony personality. If she is the host this year, I will NOT be watching. She's gotta go. PLEASE! Bring back Tom. Bring back Tom. Bring back Tom!

Please Please Please Bring Tom Back!!! Tyra is so about herself it ruins the show!! I have watched Dancing With The Stars from Season 1 and Loved It. Last Season with Tyra was unbearable to watch! Very disappointed that Tom was so disrespected after all that he brought to the show. BRING TOM BACK!!!!!!!

Tom should be brought back. Removing him was like taking grape jelly from pbj sandwich
or marshmallow from a smores. Tyra should still executive produce but leave hosting to Tom.

Tyra was a mess - she thought that it was the Tyra Show - quit watching after the second show - it was one of my favorite shows and I was sad to let it go😢😢

I wrote when I first heard that they got rid of Tom & Erin that I would not watch and I have not allowed that show on in my home.
I will not watch until they bring back BOTH Tom & Erin. I hope Tom is loyal to Erin and insists she be part of the deal.

Didn’t watch last season BECAUSE of Tyra. I would watch again if Tom comes back but NOT if Tyra cohosts or is part of the show.

Sorry, but Tyra was terrible. I could hardly understand her mumbling and it seemed like just an outlet for her ridiculous outfits! The questions she asked the contestants afterwards were usually just stupid. I’ve liked her in other shows, but not as host of DWTS.

P
It's just not the same without Tom! I'm not denying Tyra's beauty and talent, but she absolutely obliterated the effect of the costumes and talent of the dancers. I didn't watch but one or two episodes last season, and won't watch unless Tom returns! Sorry!

We are the ONLY ONE that I defend Tyra from the Show. Therefore in fact the words that I can silence the critics is to use my Tyson-style mode to defend the show and Tyra. We must observe that I stand with Tyra and we are ONE with Tyra to defend ourselves for Diversity in television.

I have only watched a couple of episodes with Tyra and I no longer watch the show. If they bring back Tom and Erin I will start watching again. They are both great! I can’t for the life of me figure out why they got rid of Tom & Erin to begin with. 🤷🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️

I stopped watching the show when they replaced Tom and Erin with Tyra Banks. It's really hard to watch her...she tries too hard to be something she is not. All the glam turned me off. If Tom B. & Erin come back, so will I!!!

Get rid of Tyra Banks.......She seems to think that it's the Tyra Banks show....And the clothes she wears are hideous.....

I LOVE TOM! It's not the same without him and Tyra just stinks. Sorry but that's how I feel. She has no talent.

O
I will not, and have not watched DWTS because it has become THE TYRA SHOW......I love DWTS, if u get rid of her i will watch again. When you are a HOST, it is not about you. You add to, adlib, entertain a bit, but it dies not REVOLVE around you. Tyra needs to learn this. I never really cared for Erin either, but really like Tom.

Tyra and her fashion show never belonged on DWTS. Much of the former dancing segments with the pros, instead of her strutting, were sorely missed. As long as Tyra is in, I will not watch. We need Tom!

It's not the same show without Tom. Tried watching last year and cannot stand Tyra Banks. She's so over the top and phony. Watched 5 minutes of the new season and can't stand Tyra even more. Please bring Tom back.
-
G
Won't watch either...bring back Tom!!!!!
-
O
Tom bergeron Host host
-
C
I stopped watching the show halfway through the show that TYRA hosted. Removed from recordings and will never watch again with her still there. Tom B made it fun and more like a family than TYRA can ever do. she is way too flamboyant

I quit watching after Tom was no longer the host. Please bring Tom back!

if he returns I may start watching again. I didn't watch the last season except for the first show which told me it was going to be the Tyra Banks show with some dancing on the side

I can't stand Tyra and her sickening outlandish outfits. Please bring back Tom and Erin. They were the best together.
-
O
GET RID OF TYRA. Couldn't watch last year. Bring TOM and ERIN back.

B
Will not watch as long as Tyra is hosting.
-
O
I watch the show for the dancing. It was just annoying to have to see Tyra in between dance numbers. She’s gotta go! Bring back Tom & Erin!
-
O
I know Tom won’t be back but let Tyra produce but please for our sanity, find another host!!
-
O
Like many people, I DVR the show and FF thru all the Tyra baloney! The problem is that it still counts as ratings. Which is unfortunate!
-
B
I tried to watch DWTS with Tyra and found it unwatchable. Bring back Tom and Erin!
-
B
Should never have changed. The sooner they are back the better. I will once again watch but not with Tyra she’s no MC.
-
O
I stopped watching when they took Tom off.
-
O
Please bring Tom back!! I don't like to watch Tyra strut around with those awful outfits on.

P
Hope so didn't watch it last yr..Bring Tom an Erin back ....
-
C
Bring Tom back to DWTS. Then I will watch it again.

P
I definitely think Tom should return to Dancing. Tyra was an awful host and thought only about herself.
-
B
I had been a FAN since the Start....and when they let Tom and Erin go, replacing them with TYRA, I too, refused to watch the show. They definitely lost a dedicated fan with that move. PLEASE BRING BACK TOM and ERIN.

It’s called the changing of the guards people. Not everyone is going to be around forever or always on point all of the time. Tom was dope and still is dope. Tyra is dope and she Brings something different to the table. I can agree that the fashion show doesn’t need to be as long. Yet the show is about dancers and celebrities not about the host. So look past her, learn to watch the show and just enjoy it. Or ask Tom to go be a talkshow host and you can all engage in watching him perform
