Dancing with the stars
I don't know if anyone watches that show but I'm disappointed that they fired Tom Bergeron and Erin Andrews and hired Tyra Banks. She was a horrible host of AGT and only lasted 1 season for a reason. Many seem to think they hired her because they mentioned trying to diversify the show. I have no idea but I know that I won't be watching. The show was going downhill before but it wasn't the 2 hosts as the reason.
I agree 100%. Tom was great. Firing a white person to put in a Black person is discrimination. It’s outrageous really. Of course no one will do anything about it as to not upset the black community.

I don’t want the show, but I loved Tom Bergeron in AFV. I’m sure he was doing a good job. I actually liked Tyra in AGT. And she was for 2 seasons, not one.
I’m not sure we can make this about reversed racism, though. It could’ve ageism too. Bergeron is in his 60s, maybe the producers wanted a more youthful look. Who knows?

It's sad. I liked the last hosts. The show was better a few years ago. They should stop trying to change everything.

Tom is awesome. Now that he's 'free' he should cut an album or two. He was amazing on the Masked Singer.

I only watch the show sporadically - only if there was someone I was a fan of. Not a big fan of the show because frankly, they don't get good stars and they pit people with athletic/musical experience with total newbies. That said, I always enjoyed Tom as the host and think they are making a huge mistake. He has a large fan base and he was a good host - supportive and funny when he needed to be. I had not heard Tyra was replacing him until now. Could not stand her on AGT so this is very disappointing.

Can’t discriminate against white folks. Their feelings will be hurt...
