Since Dancing With the Stars debuted in 2005, it has been a huge hit for ABC and has undergone plenty of changes — including the salary amounts that the cast earns.
When the show launched, Tom Bergeron and Lisa Canning cohosted the first season. Samantha Harris replaced Canning for seasons 2 through 9 with Brooke Burke-Charvet cohosting for seasons 10 through 17. Erin Andrews stepped in for season 18 and remained by Bergeron’s side until season 28.
In 2020, ABC announced that the cohosts would not be returning for season 29. Instead, Tyra Banks stepped in. Despite mixed reviews from fans of the show, Banks returned for season 30 and season 31.
“I mean, you know, Tom Bergeron and Erin. They lead the show, this is one of the top-rated shows in the world,” the supermodel told Us Weekly exclusively when taking over in September 2020. “So [I’m] respecting the stage that they have set and then adding my icing to that. I feel confident about that, but of course, it’s a challenge, but I don’t back away from challenges.”
After Alfonso Ribeiro joined as cohost in 2023, Banks exited the following year and Julianne Hough stepped in.
