Dancing With The Stars Vet Tom Bergeron showed Alfonso Ribeiro some love for landing co-host gig, and Erin Andrews chimed in

It was just announced that Bel-Air: The Fresh Prince Alfonso Ribeiro, vet, will be joining Dancing with the StarsHe will serve as the show’s newest co-host alongside Tyra Banks. The achievement is quite a momentous one for the star. It’s because his former hosts Tom Bergeron, Erin Andrews and Erin Andrews gave him some love when he took the new gig.

Tom Bergeron was the host Dancing with the StarsDuring its 28 first seasons, it took to Instagram to share some sweet words about the reality show’s newest personality. Bergeron shared throwback images from the time Alfonso Ribeiro participated on the reality series. DWTS Season 19 was a special season for me. I cannot think of a better way to pass the torch (or mic) than this. You can see the full post below.

The tribute was beautiful enough by itself, but Erin Andrews only added to the joy. Andrews, who joined the series in Season 18, was there alongside her former colleagues. She responded in a very sweet, congratulatory fashion.

Both are my thoughts! Congrats @therealalfonsoribeiro

Tom Bergeron and Erin Andrews’ departures at the end of Season 28 were definitely surprising. Even Mirrorball champ Jordan Fisher referred to Tyra Banks as an “odd”replacement. Despite their exits though, the Bergeron and Andrews have remained close. Also, fans remained hopeful that Bergeron would return to the competition series. While that hasn’t panned out, it’s great that he and Andrews are excited for their newest successor.

Alfonso Ribeiro and Tom Bergeron seem to have a very close relationship. Last year, the actor credited Bergeron for helping him get back on track when he was having post-Fresh Prince issues in Hollywood amid his participation on the ABC show. He admitted that Bergeron even pushed for him to be the next host of America’s Funniest Home Videos, a job that Ribeiro still has today.

While Tyra Banks’ hosting has marred with “”Diva” allegations, she and her colleague should make for a fun couple of hosts. Their tenure together coincides with a new era of the franchise’s history. DWTSHe has now moved to Disney+ from ABC. In addition to that, some people speculate that Season 31 might see the departure of certain pros.

Alfonso Ribeiro is sure to bring energy (and perhaps a Carlton move or two) to the new season on Dancing with the Stars. With a supportive fanbase, Erin Andrews and Tom Bergeron giving him thumbs up, he has a strong support network as he takes on the new job.
