Tyra Banks left Dancing With the Stars after three seasons as host. She announced her departure in March 2023, explaining that she was retiring from her role as the series host to focus on other business opportunities and to produce more TV behind the scenes. Banks was also an executive producer on the show. Her reception on the show was generally mixed, so her departure did not impact the fan base like it did when both Tom Bergeron and Erin Andrews were let go from the series after 14 years as hosts. Julianne Hough replaced Banks as co-host alongside Alfonso Ribeiro.
