        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tom Bergeron poked fun at how fast he had been <strong>replaced by Tyra Banks</strong> as the new host of &#8220;Dancing with the Stars.&#8221;</p><p>After <strong>exiting the series</strong> earlier this week, the longtime host of ABC&#8217;s dancing competition <a href="https://twitter.com/Tom_Bergeron/status/1283403240487305216">took to Twitter</a> on Wednesday, joking, &#8220;I guess I won&#8217;t be getting back my monogrammed towels.&#8221;</p><p>Bergeron&#8217;s co-host Erin Andrews — who also exited the series — <a href="https://twitter.com/ErinAndrews/status/1283472729757237248">quipped</a>, &#8220;You got towels @Tom_Bergeron??&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;I&#8217;m sorry this is how you had to find out #TerryCloth,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/Tom_Bergeron/status/1283477693216854021">he replied</a>.</p><p>On Monday, Bergeron, 65, <a href="https://twitter.com/Tom_Bergeron/status/1282815740731510784" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">addressed his departure</a> from &#8220;Dancing with the Stars&#8221; on Twitter, stating, &#8220;It&#8217;s been an incredible 15 year run and the most unexpected gift of my career. I&#8217;m grateful for that and for the lifelong friendships made.&#8221;</p><p>ABC also confirmed Andrews, 42, would not return, as the show will &#8220;embark on a new creative direction&#8221; ahead of Season 29.</p><p>Banks, 46, who will also serve as an executive producer on &#8220;Dancing with the Stars,&#8221; spoke about the opportunity Wednesday&nbsp;<strong>on &#8220;Good Morning America.&#8221;</strong></p><p>&#8220;I am excited about hosting and executive producing — getting in there, live TV, you never know what happens on live TV,&#8221; the supermodel said.</p><p>Banks, the previous host of &#8220;America&#8217;s Next Top Model,&#8221; is also the first Black emcee on &#8220;DWTS.&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;I like breaking those doors down so that we don&#8217;t have any more firsts,&#8221; Banks said. &#8220;But it&#8217;s nice to be first so that you can open that door and let so many other people in after you — so I&#8217;m excited.&#8221;</p><p>Former &#8220;Bachelorette&#8221; Kaitlyn Bristowe, <strong>who will compete</strong> on the upcoming season, congratulated Banks as she readies for the ballroom.</p><p>&#8220;<span class="css-901oao css-16my406 r-1qd0xha r-ad9z0x r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0">Heck freakin yas Tyra! I always loved watching Erin and Tom, and I’m excited to be a part of this new chapter!! Tyra is a Queen. </span><span class="r-18u37iz">@tyrabanks,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/kaitlynbristowe/status/1283464906927484928" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Bristowe, 35, tweeted</a>.</span></p>]]></content:encoded>
