Samantha Harris

When Samantha Harris announced that she wouldn't be back for the new season of Dancing with the Stars (which starts next week) there was a lot of talk about who exactly would take her place.

Well, now we have our answer.

Former winner, Brooke Burke, will be now co-hosting with Tom Bergeron.

We love Brooke, and we think this is an excellent choice!

Rather than choosing just one dance to encore, last night the entire cast was invited back to perform the group hip hop number again. We love watching the crowd because seeing everyone dance side by side gives a chance to size the competition up as a whole.

Samantha Harris is already preparing her soon-to-be 1-year-old daughter, Josselyn, for her first dance. 

“To think that a year ago, before the Dancing season premiere of season five, I was giving birth, and how quickly a year goes, it’s fun,” Harris said at Tuesday’s Eagle Eye premiere in Hollywood.

She may have been overlooked during nominations for the Primetime Emmys but Dancing with the Stars co-host Samantha Harris is ready to cheer for her co-host, Tom Bergeron. “I think Tom should win because he’s been in the game a lot longer,” Harris told radio deejay Sean Valentine during an interview Monday.
