Dancing With the Stars is prepping for its 34th season, which can premiere this fall on the 2025 TV schedule. To this point, we learn about a number of contestants who will likely be making their debut within the ballroom, and we all know Julianne Hough and Alfonso Ribeiro will likely be again as hosts. Nonetheless, I can’t assist however nonetheless marvel about Tom Bergeron, who was unceremoniously fired in 2020. Will he ever get to be within the ballroom once more? Properly, he’s opening up concerning the possibilities of coming again.
Bergeron was the unique host of DWTS, and he starred within the first 28 seasons. ABC surprisingly fired him and co-host Erin Andrews forward of Season 29. He bought sincere concerning the firing in 2021, saying that the present he left was not the present he liked, which makes you query whether or not or not a return to the ballroom is ever taking place.
Properly, now, Bergeron’s “good buddy,” authentic government producer Conrad Inexperienced, is again at DWTS, and the previous AFV host advised USA At present {that a} return for him might not be too far off:
We did have lunch, and we did speak, and I provided a state of affairs the place I would come again for an evening in a sure capability. The mirrorball is again of their court docket now.
Whereas that doesn’t essentially imply he’s coming again, it additionally makes it clear {that a} return, even whether it is simply short-term, is just not inconceivable. Personally, it could be arduous to see Bergeron on the present and never host, however his simply being a visitor choose could be higher than nothing.
It needs to be identified that he nearly got here again for the five hundredth episode final season. Nonetheless, he declined since he would have been within the viewers and never really a part of the episode. To that time, he stated:
I stated that I would get too fidgety sitting within the viewers.
Though Bergeron is not on Dancing With the Stars, he nonetheless retains the present near his coronary heart. He often meets up with DWTS vets comparable to Andrews and Cheryl Burke, and even has a brand new actuality present for Shark Week that could be a nod to DWTS and aptly referred to as Dancing With the Sharks. Clearly, nothing could be as nice as him returning as a number, however Julianne Hough and Alfonso Ribeiro have been doing fairly nicely, so it doesn’t matter what, the present is in good arms.
It is arduous to inform if Bergeron will ever really return to Dancing With the Stars, however the truth that he has been in talks is an efficient signal. A minimum of he’s doing Dancing With the Sharks, so there will likely be some semblance of a mirrorball even when it’s underwater.
In the meantime, there’ll nonetheless be rather a lot to stay up for within the upcoming season of DWTS, which premieres on September 16 on ABC (you may as well stream it reside with a Disney+ subscription). There are sure to be surprises in retailer, and who is aware of? Possibly a type of surprises will likely be Tom Bergeron returning to the ballroom.
