Tyra Banks is exiting the ballroom: Deadline has confirmed that she will no longer host "Dancing with the Stars" on Disney+

Banks first joined the show in season 29 on ABC to take over for the departing Tom Bergeron. Her tenure had mixed results; while she added a different level of energy to the ballroom, her live exchanges with both the judges and the contestants were often awkward. Her grand entrances also upstaged the pros, who remain a huge draw for longtime DWTS fans.

Last season, Banks was paired with season 19 Mirrorball Champion Alfonso Ribeiro.
