“Dancing with the Stars” wasted no time playing a new host for the upcoming 29th season. One day later Tom Bergeron and Erin andrews were removed, ABC announced Tuesday night that Tyra banks would take over the hosting tasks. And Bergeron had an appropriately smart response that wouldn’t surprise any viewer for a long time.
“I don’t think I will get my monogrammed towels back,” joked the Emmy winner on Twitter.
Andrews then joked: “Do you have towels @ Tom_Bergeron?”
“Sorry, this is how you had to find out #TerryCloth,” he replied.
I guess I won’t get my monogrammed towels back 🤔😉

Banks, who will also serve as executive producer, scoffed at the “Good Morning America” renewal on Wednesday. “We are doing all these crazy things, taking them to the next level, but keeping the things that we know the United States loves,” he said. “But you must prepare yourself because it will be different.”
