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.
