The former "Dancing With The Stars" co-host penned a brief message on his Twitter to officially announce his disappointing exit from the role. He tweeted:

They thanked Bergeron and Erin for the many seasons of "glitz, glamour, and good times," and said they are ready to usher in the 29th season with Banks. In addition to her new hosting duties, Banks would also serve as an executive producer on the show.

Banks' predecessor Bergeron brought on a certain charm with his wit and charisma for the 15 years that he stood as host. Now, as she stepped into his and Andrews' shoes, the show's producers hoped to continue with that charm but only in a different light.

The much-anticipated 29th season of "Dancing With The Stars" would premiere on Monday, September 14, at 8 pm E.T.
