'Dancing With the Stars': 8 Possible Replacements for Tom Bergeron

Following the news that Tom Bergeron is out as the host of Dancing With the Stars, fans are sure to be curious about who the possible replacements might be. Bergeron has been hosting the show since it debuted in 2005, appearing in over 400 episodes, according to Deadline. He previously praised the show as being the "most unexpected gift of my career."

Now, both he and co-host Erin Andrews will not be returning to the series — which is a U.S. spin-off of the British series Strictly Come Dancing — and both ABC and BBC Studios have released a joint statement on the news. "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," the producing studios wrote. "Erin will also not be returning, and we appreciate all that she brought to the ballroom. Fans have been rooting for her since she originally competed as a contestant back in 2010, and her signature sense of humor has become a hallmark of the show."

With Bergeron out, that leaves the door open for the possibility of a new host. We have some ideas for who could fill Bergeron's shoes, and we want to share them with you below! Scroll down to see who could take over hosting Dancing With the Stars, and start with some former contestants.
