Tom Bergeron

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!

Warren and Kym started the night with a Fox Trot. Once one of the fiercest competitors on the show, we feel like Warren is slipping. The fire is gone, the charisma is engrained but the pop and the fizz have gone flat. Len, back in his judge’s chair, was quick to do just that, judge. “Kym always puts a little spin on it that I like…but it wasn’t your best dance. It was a little bit of a disappointment.” Bruno praised their opening but said they quickly “went into a recession. You were flatfooted. You have to go back to the ease of competition you had.

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.

Last night, the Emmys celebrated their sixtieth anniversary with the least funny, most awkward award show opening in history. You know David Letterman was sitting on his Barcalounger thinking, “No one will ever be able to give me grief from the ‘Oprah-Uma’ gag ever again.”

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.
