“America’s Next Top Model” star Tyra Banks has hosted “Dancing with the Stars” for the past few seasons after replacing Tom Bergeron and Erin Andrews.
For the past few seasons, fans of the reality competition show have been unhappy with Tyra Banks’ hosting style, so when the show announced Alfonso Ribeiro (“The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air”) would be joining Banks as a co-host, they were relieved. However, Banks still gets plenty of air time, and fans aren’t happy with his constant mistakes this past season.
Now, “Dancing With the Stars” executives are hinting that a “big shakeup” is coming and they “could replace” Banks as host.

“DWTS” sources are coming, giving details about the upcoming season — even saying Tyra Banks may be out as host. Producers also told the source, saying that the show “needs to be more adventurous, original and feature fresh faces.”
According to The Sun, “Dancing With the Stars” producers may replace Tyra Banks as host because they feel “[she] have a warm-up fight for the team, the contestants and certainly the audience.”
“There seems to be another disconnect with the audience that always causes concern,” they admit. “We still get emails and comments about his performance and it’s annoying.”
“The team works very hard to deliver the best series every year, but the main focus of fans’ frustration is the host,” the source continued.
Tyra Banks Not Promoting Shows

The source went on to elaborate on why executives wanted to replace Banks, saying “America’s Next Top Model” isn’t promoting “Dancing With the Stars” as much as they’d like.
“There’s also concern that he’s never been out and about promoting the show as much as we’d like,” the source continued. “The other hosts do a lot of interviews and promotions for their shows, but he’s never been out in the public eye.”
In fact, the source believes that since he is an executive producer on the show, that is the reason why he is still around. “It’s annoying,” the source said. “If he hadn’t had his executive producer role, some of us believe he would have left.”
Tyra Banks Called Landon Barker By The Wrong Name On Live TV

Banks made a lot of mistakes this past season of “Dancing With the Stars,” but one moment in particular is still talked about.
On the October 3, 2022 episode, host Tyra Banks gave a shout-out to friend Charli D’Amelio who supported her and sat in the audience — including D’Amelio’s boyfriend, musician Landon Barker.
Barker, 19, is the son of Blink-182 drummer and Kourtney Kardashian’s husband, Travis Barker. But, when Banks introduced Barker, she called him “Logan” by accident. “Charli’s friends Kourtney Kardashian, Travis Barker and Logan Barker are here,” Banks said. “I know you are very proud now.”
Fans were quick to comment on Banks’ mistake, taking to social media to call her out. So, during the following week’s episode, Banks referred the name mistake to D’Amelio after her dance on Disney+ Night — even though, again, she made the mistake.
“I’m calling your boyfriend Landon Barker and his name is Logan,” Banks said during the live show. But then, D’Amelio corrected him, saying that he ruined Barker’s name again. “Well, I’m just saying it backwards again,” Banks added. “What am I doing wrong with this? Why can’t I do it right? They said in my ear last week, I got it wrong. Now I read it and I got it wrong.”
