Tom Bergeron Returns To 'Dancing With The Stars' But Doubles Down On Belief That Got Him Fired
HuffPost
The host was canned in 2020 after he objected to political figures being cast on the show.
Tom Bergeron is returning to “Dancing With The Stars” five years after being fired, but he said he has no regrets about what he did to lose the job in the first place.
The long-running dance competition celebrates its 20th anniversary Tuesday night, and Bergeron will be back as a guest judge, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Bergeron hosted the show from 2005 to 2019 before being canned in 2020 after he publicly objected to former White House press secretary Sean Spicer being cast on the show.
It wasn’t Spicer in particular that bothered Bergeron, just his belief that the show should avoid politics entirely.
“What I get a kick out of is when every so often on social media, I’ll see somebody, like, ‘Well, if Tom hadn’t brought politics into the show, he wouldn’t have got fired,’” he told THR.
