Erin Andrews Counter Tyra Banks' Comment On 'Dancing With the Stars'
Erin Andrews couldn't stop herself from addressing Tyra Banks' comments. The 42-year-old television personality recently received a comment by Banks regarding her role at 29 seasons of Dancing With the Stars.
While the 46-year-old actress replaced Andrews on the show, fans have been asking the star about the new role. The NFL sideline correspondent and sportscaster appeared on Andy Cohen's show called Watch What Happens Live on Sept. 10 and answered the questions that were asked by the audience.
One of the fans asked Andrews about her position getting filled by Banks in Dancing With the Stars' upcoming season after she exited along with Tom Bergeron. The 52-year-old delivered the fan’s question that how difficult it is going to be to step into Andrews' shoes and she laughed off the question.
"That's better than her saying, 'It's gonna be easy taking over for this broad!' So I guess that's great? I don't know," she said. Andrews began working as a presenter on the dancing show since 2014 along with Bergeron.
The on-screen pair have worked together for many seasons while Bergeron has been on the show since it started. The reality TV show started in 2005 and since then it is the first time when the host has been let go.
America's Funniest Home Videos star took Twitter on July 13 to inform his fans that the show will continue without him. The former host of the show said that the 15 years he spent on the series were incredible and one of the unexpected gifts he ever had in his professional life.
He acknowledged the long time he spent on the show and the friends he made in more than a decade. Bergeron said that he is grateful for the opportunity given to him. Andrews said during the interview that it will be tough to fill Bergeron's shoes compared to her. Previously, Banks opened up about the new job as a host and praised Bergeron for his work throughout the years.
She admitted looking up to him and have an immense amount of respect for the Bergeron. She confessed that what Bergeron did with Dancing With the Stars over the decade is the reason why the series has run successfully for so many years.
Banks acknowledged all the hard-working producers on the show along with the "amazing concepts", however, Bergeron is irreplaceable. She further said that she plans to DM the former host in case she finds difficulties or make any mistakes.
