DWTS: Artem Chigvintsev Reacts To Rumors Tyra Banks Is Being Replaced

Dancing With The Stars member Artem Chigvintsev is giving his take on the rumors that Tyra Banks might be stepping down as host. It's been two years since the shocking announcement that longtime host Tom Bergeron had been let go. Though the announcement caught fans off guard, Tom wasn't surprised. He'd been butting heads with producers for a while and felt it was a long time coming. Throughout that time Tom had various co-hosts, his most recent being Erin Andrews, who worked with him for ten seasons. Both were replaced by none other than former America's Next Top Model host, Tyra. And though hosting was clearly in her wheelhouse, it was a big adjustment for the fanbase.

Tom had hosted DWTS for nearly fifteen years. In all that time fans had become accustomed to his sassy one-liners and good-natured humor. And while Tyra had hosted before, this was one of the few times where the project she was working on wasn't exactly centered around her. Fans felt instantly that it wasn't a match. At times her delivery came across as awkward, and having only one host instead of the two co-hosts changed the dynamic. Earlier in the year, it was announced that DWTS would be changing platforms. For the first time in 16 years, the show was leaving ABC and would be available on Disney+. Since the big change was announced, fans have been wondering if the show would also be letting Tyra go.
