Tom Bergeron may be about to make a historic return to Dancing With the Stars.
‘Dancing With The Stars’: OMG!! Will Tom Bergeron Return To The Show?
If fans start to think he will come back in a dancing capacity, then you are sadly mistaken. Tom had been a mainstay host on the show for 15 years, since his debut in 2005. While he only left last year, it seems the lure of the show keeps drawing him in. In a post to his fans on Instagram, he put up a meme of Al Pacino.
The post was captioned with the following comments: “Stay tuned. Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.” The news of his departure was a shock, given that he had reportedly been let go from the show. There was a feeling that the producers were after someone of a younger age, which would explain their decision to go with Tyra Banks.
In a statement at the time, the show said: “Tom Bergeron will forever be part of the Dancing with the Stars family. As we embark on a new creative direction, he departs the show with our sincerest thanks and gratitude for his trademark wit and charm that helped make this show a success.”
His replacement, Tyra, has not really set the world alight as she has failed to resonate with the audience. While she is still expected to continue for the time being, it is unclear whether she will remain. And fans made their voices heard. Tom added in another post: “I have to say, your response to my admittedly cryptic [post] has been very flattering, very heartwarming.
“I promise I will let you know what I’m really talking about by next week at the latest.” This excitement has also spread to other professional dancers on the show. After all, Tom had been known for getting along with the staff.
Jenna Johnson responded with: “I’m setting a calendar reminder for next week,” while Peta Murgatroyd wrote: “I’ll be here waitin[g].” With the excitement ever-increasing for Tom’s return, there remains the only question: Will it actually happen? And if it does not, then the fans are not going to keep quiet.
