From the Runway to the Dancefloor: Tyra Banks Joins the Cast of Dancing with the Stars
When news broke that Tyra Banks was going to host the 29th season of ‘Dancing with the Stars’, many fans were surprised. Banks, who is best known for her career as a supermodel, has also hosted reality shows like ‘America’s Next Top Model’ and ‘America’s Got Talent’. In this article, we will explore Banks’ new role as host of ‘Dancing with the Stars’ and what viewers can expect from her debut on the show.
Tyra Banks Takes Over as Host of Dancing with the Stars
Before Banks joined the ‘Dancing with the Stars’ cast, the show was hosted by Tom Bergeron and Erin Andrews. Bergeron, who was the show’s host since it began in 2005, was unexpectedly let go by ABC along with Andrews in July 2020. Banks was announced as their replacement in July 2020.
Banks is no stranger to hosting. She hosted ‘America’s Next Top Model’ for 22 seasons and ‘America’s Got Talent’ for one season. Her experience in hosting these well-known reality shows makes her a great fit for ‘Dancing with the Stars’.
Why Tyra Banks’ Transition from America’s Next Top Model to Dancing with the Stars is a Perfect Fit
There are many reasons why Banks’ transition from ‘America’s Next Top Model’ to ‘Dancing with the Stars’ is a perfect fit. Both shows require a host who can be personable, entertaining, and knowledgeable. Banks has all of these qualities and more.
Additionally, both shows have a similar format. ‘America’s Next Top Model’ had contestants compete in modeling challenges and eliminated one contestant each week, and ‘Dancing with the Stars’ has contestants compete in ballroom dance challenges and eliminate one contestant each week. Banks’ experience with hosting ‘America’s Next Top Model’ has given her experience with eliminations and critiques, which should help her on ‘Dancing with the Stars’.
