Why Tom Bergeron 'Wasn't Surprised' He Was Fired From 'Dancing With the Stars'
Tom Bergeronexited in 2019 after 14 years as a host, the 66-year-old TV personality says he wasn't caught off-guard by the decision. Speaking on the podcast, Bergeron recounted the events leading up to his exit, many of which involved the inclusion of former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer as a contestant. Bergeron, who was vocal about his disapproval at the time, noted that it wasn't about supporting one political party over another. «Whether it was somebody I voted for or didn't, I didn't think a political person was an appropriate booking for the show, but also for the time we were going to be on, which was really on the cusp of the presidential election campaign, so we differed on that,» he explained on the podcast.
