This will be Tyra’s third season hosting the dance competition in which celebrities are paired with trained ballroom dancers to compete in themed choreographed dance routines that are judged by a panel of renowned ballroom experts.

And that all important judges panel will remain the same as last season with Len Goodman, Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli, and Derek Hough all returning.

Back when the announcement was made that Alfonso would be co-hosting the competition, he said, “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. 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+.”

And 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!”
