We caught up with the newly announced DWTS co-host in New York City last month.Julianne Hough will join Dancing with the Stars as a co-host while Alfonso Ribeiro has been upped to emcee of the franchise in its 32nd season, Deadline has learned.
Hough will assume Ribeiro’s previous role on DWTS, which is to interview the dancers after their performances in the Celebraquarium, or Sky Box.Last season, DWTS paired Banks with Season 19 Mirrorball champion Ribeiro.
Hough is a two-time champion in the ballroom before she left the show to become a recording artist and actress. She returned to Dancing with the Stars in 2014 when she served as a permanent judge for three seasons and was also a judge on Season 14 of America’s Got Talent. The show has undergone several changes in the last year; Judge Len Goodman said he was leaving the franchise, and pros Cheryl Burke and Mark Ballas revealed they were hanging up their Danskins, too.The 32nd season will feature Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli and Derek Hough as judges.
