Tyra Banks will be returning as host and executive producer for her third consecutive season, but this season, she will have a co-host with her in the ballroom. Season 19 Mirrorball Champion Alfonso Ribeiro will be returning to the show in a new job. “Dancing with the Stars has been such an important part of my life for so many years, and I am ecstatic to officially re-join this tight-knit family as co-host,” said Ribeiro. “Tyra and I have a longstanding friendship that I hope will resonate with all of the fans at home as we kick off this new season on Disney+.” Tyra added, “I’ve known Alfonso since I was 19 years old and he always puts a smile on my face whenever I see him. Having such a fun-loving, longtime friend as co-host warms my heart. Plus, he’s won the competition before, so he knows exactly what the stars are going through. Bantering back and forth with him live is going to be so much fun!” ABC/Ricky Middlesworth Also returning for season 31 will be judges Len Goodman, Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli and Derek Hough. The premiere date for DWTS will be announced at a later time. Next, Everything We Know About Dancing With the Stars Season 30, Including Who Won
