    Alfonso Ribeiro has spoken out about Tyra Banks’ difficult time hosting “Dancing With the Stars.” The current host believes Banks was set up for failure. He explained his reasoning in a recent interview with Parade magazine.

    Ribeiro pointed to the COVID-19 pandemic as a primary factor. He stated the show’s format change created an impossible situation for the former supermodel.

    Pandemic Production Created a “One-Woman Show”

    According to Ribeiro, the pandemic-era restrictions were crippling. Banks had to host the show entirely alone. This was a drastic departure from the traditional two-host format.

    The lack of a co-host made connecting with contestants nearly impossible. Ribeiro argued the show’s design placed an unfair burden on Banks. He felt the circumstances made it difficult for her to succeed.

    Following a Legend and Facing Unprecedented Challenges

    Ribeiro also acknowledged the challenge of replacing Tom Bergeron. Bergeron was the beloved original host for many years. Stepping into that role is a tall order for anyone.

    The combination of factors created a perfect storm. Banks followed a legend without the support system the job typically requires. Ribeiro emphasized that he remains friends with Banks and respects her immensely.

    Ultimately, Alfonso Ribeiro’s defense sheds new light on a contentious chapter in DWTS hosting history, suggesting the environment, not the individual, was to blame for the rocky reception.
