The beautiful host also thanked the crew, especially for overcoming the obstacles that came with the COVID-19 pandemic.

Some longtime fans of the show were not pleased about Tyra replacing host, Tom Bergeron, and co-host Erin Andrews after they were both dismissed.

The revamped DWTS format pulled in an astounding 8.1 million viewers.

As is common practice these days, viewers took to social media to voice their displeasure concerning the cast shakeup. Several fans went as far as promising to stop watching the show because of Bergeron and Andrews' sudden dismissal.

Bergeron, who had been with the show since 2005, was fired first, and Andrews' dismissal followed shortly after it was revealed that the famous TV show was taking a new direction.

Aside from their dismissal, there were also considerable changes made to the show. The changes, which included a fresh batch of celebrities including Carole Baskin, were made to tempt fans to tune in, and it worked.
