Banks released the following statement, "I've been a fan of DWTS since its beginning. The fun mixed with raw emotion, seeing celebrities push past their comfort zones, the sizzling dance performances. It's always transported me to my days turning it up 10 notches on the catwalk. Tom has set a powerful stage, and I'm excited to continue the legacy."
ABC also released a statement to thank Bergeron for his long tenure with the network as he was host of America's Funniest Home Videos prior to taking the gig on Dancing with the Stars.
