Tom Bergeron has been praising the current “Dancing with the Stars” cast following his triumphant return to the show last night. The former host of the series, 70, appeared as a guest judge on the “20th Birthday Party” episode on Tuesday, November 11, as the show celebrated two decades on air.
Bergeron was generous with his scoring. He scored actress Elaine Hendrix a 9, conservationist Robert Irwin a 10, comedian Andy Richter a 7, reality television star Dylan Efron a 10, Olympian Jordan Chiles a 9, social media star Alix Earle 10, and reality television star Whitney Leavitt a 10.
The beloved television personality seemed to enjoy his return and has posted multiple times about it on his Instagram account, showing what a great time he had. He’s also been having his say about his thoughts on the current state of “Dancing with the Stars.”
In an exclusive interview with Parade, Tom Bergeron showered praise on the current “Dancing with the Stars” setup, telling the publication, “I think that the show is doing exactly what it should do at 20 years old. I think that they’ve got the right team and it feels young and it feels refreshed, and I think you can see that in the total audience numbers.”
Bergeron had only good things to say about the line-up of hosts and judges. He said, “Derek is there, sort of filling Len’s central judge role, and you’ve got Alfonso and Julianne. It’s a younger-feeling show. They’re casting it with influencers and people that I wouldn’t know from a hole in the wall, but are obviously charismatic and [make] very good television. As much as I appreciate all of the lovely reactions I’m getting to coming back, I don’t think a 70-year-old guy should be hosting that show.”
It was high praise indeed from such a respected and experienced figure from the television world — and it showed a lot of humility, given that he was unceremoniously fired from the show ahead of its 29th season in 2020.
However, there was one significant change Bergeron would make to the current format of “Dancing with the Stars.”
Tom Bergeron believes there should be a separate results show, like there used to be, and thinks ABC should reinstate it — something he pleaded with the network to do while he was live on the show last night. He told Parade, “I do miss the results show.”
He gave his insight into why he has that opinion, saying, “Based on the ratings success that they are having now, [I hope] that ABC brings back the results show and enables the voting to carry over to the next day.”
Bergeron added further justification to his reasoning, saying, “By the time it’s replayed on the West Coast, they don’t have a chance to vote. It’s already done. If I was at ABC in a position to call the shots, I’d put the results show back on. There’s nothing that the network has that’s doing as well as Dancing with the Stars.”
They’re undoubtedly valid reasons, and bringing back the results show would emulate the existing formats of other successful shows like “American Idol.” It’s certainly food for thought for ABC, because nobody knows “Dancing with the Stars” better than Tom Bergeron.
When Kris Jenner throws a birthday party, it’s not just an event — it’s an
Kyle Richards and her daughter Farrah Brittany, who brought their signature Beverly Hills glamour to what has already been dubbed the soirée of the season.
The lavish celebration took place under a magnificent
crimson tent adorned with chandeliers, velvet draping, and endless red roses, setting a mood of luxury and drama that only Kris Jenner could pull off. The theme paid tribute to old Hollywood — glitz, sophistication, and red-hot glamour — with guests showing up in stunning shades of ruby, scarlet, and gold.
Kyle Richards, a longtime friend of Kris, stunned in a sleek, curve-hugging red gown that perfectly complemented the evening’s opulent tones. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star kept her look polished and classic, accessorizing with a delicate diamond necklace and clutch, radiating confidence and elegance. Standing beside her, daughter
Farrah Brittany was a vision in a shimmering gold gown that glistened under the chandeliers, embodying Hollywood sophistication and youthful grace.
In the now-viral photo from the event, Kyle and Farrah pose alongside
Kris Jenner, who commanded the room in a dramatic tiered ruffled red dress with long black gloves, and Faye Resnick, another Beverly Hills staple, exuding her timeless style in a chic satin look. The group photo — four women glowing with confidence and camaraderie — perfectly captured the spirit of friendship and empowerment that the night celebrated.
The guest list featured a who’s who of Hollywood — including members of the Kardashian-Jenner clan, fellow RHOBH stars, and entertainment icons who came to toast Kris’s monumental milestone. Music, laughter, and champagne flowed as the evening turned into a celebration not just of Kris’s 70 years, but of the decades of connections, love, and legacy she’s built along the way.
Fans on social media couldn’t get enough of Kyle and Farrah’s mother-daughter glamour moment. One follower gushed, “Kyle and Farrah look like Hollywood royalty — elegant, stunning, and so in sync.”
Another wrote, “This is what Beverly Hills glam is all about — confidence, class, and just the right amount of sparkle.”
As Kris Jenner toasted to 70 with her closest friends and family, it was clear this wasn’t just another Hollywood party — it was a night that captured everything she stands for:
love, luxury, and legacy. And as Kyle Richards and Farrah Brittany mingled among Hollywood’s finest, their radiant presence reminded everyone why this Beverly Hills duo remains the epitome of timeless style and sophistication.
Or as one party guest put it best — “If elegance had a guest list, this would be it.”
