Former "Dancing With The Stars" host Tom Bergeron recalled why his hosting on Nickelodeon's Kids' Choice Awards years ago turned into one of the most memorable moments for him on television.

Until recently, Bergeron co-hosted "Dancing With The Stars" with Erin Andrews. However, ahead of the show's 29th season, ABC announced their replacement by their new solo host, supermodel Tyra Banks.

The competition took place between Hugh Jackman and Justin Timberlake, and it was the 63-year-old Bergeron's job to make sure they faced each other to reach a final verdict.

WHY BERGERON AND ANDREWS LEFT

On September 30, "DWTS" executive producer Andrew Llinares elaborated on the reason for the change during a virtual panel with reporters. The network wants to evolve with the times, and they thought it was a good time for a change.

Exploring the opportunity to appeal to a new audience in addition to the loyal viewer base the show already established throughout the years is their main focus for growth to take place.

INABA SPEAKS OUT ABOUT BERGERON

News of Bergeron and Andrews leaving "DWTS" came as a shock to the fans. Carrie Ann Inaba is one of the show's original judges, and during an earlier interview, she addressed how she felt about the changes and reportedly said:

"I miss seeing Tom and Erin, of course, because we're like family. [But] I do think Tyra’s brought really amazing energy."

DOES HE STILL WATCH 'DWTS'?

With extra time on his hands now, Bergeron said that he is focused on the "future" and the joy he experiences with his antique car. He hosted the show for 28 seasons over 14 years.
