Tyra Banks Named New DWTS Host


Supermodel Tyra Banks will be the new host of "Dancing With the Stars," the ABC reality dance competition revealed Tuesday, one day after announcing it was parting ways with current hosts Tom Bergeron and Erin Andrews.

"I’ve been a fan of ‘DWTS’ since its beginning," Banks 46, said in a statement released by ABC and production group BBC Studios Tuesday. "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."

"DWTS" executives cited a "creative new direction" as reasoning for the change on Monday. On Tuesday, they honored the passing of the host torch, USAToday reports.
