Jeers: Slow Dancing with the Stars | Cheers & Jeers | 3/18/2008
Jeers to Dancing with the Stars for setting a new record for prime-time-killing filler. Seriously, do we need to sit through 92 mind- (and butt-)numbing minutes to watch six contestants do their two-minute routines? And there isn't even an elimination the first week! Factor in the corny "first meeting" segments, Tom Bergeron's high-larious ad libs and Samantha Harris' insipid post-dance interviews, and there's more stretching on the air than behind the scenes on this show. At least you can... read more
Bergeron Goes Dining with the Eco-conscious Stars | Today's News: Our Take | 2/1/2008
Tom Bergeron — who already minds the store on Dancing with the Stars and that Funniest Videos show — has a third gig lined up, hosting the new Planet Green series Supper Club. Per Variety, Bergeron will host dinner parties featuring celebrity-chef-prepared "eco-friendly meals" and attended by celebrities, politicians, authors, journalists and scholars. The topic of conversation: eco-friendliness. I plan to support this series' mission by not turning my TV on for it. read more
At the Dancing Finish Line | Roush Dispatch | 11/28/2007
I don’t know about you, but I got my wish Tuesday night. Boiled down to three words: Anyone. But. Marie. Seriously folks, if Dancing with the Stars’ trophy had gone to Marie Osmond the underdog — or rather, underdoll, as I like to think of her after Monday’s bizarre freestyle nondance that would have been better suited for the Island of Misfit Toys — I might even have joined the legions of disgruntled fans who tend to declare "I’m never watching again" after each... read more
Two Dances & Twice the Fun! | Dancing with the Stars | 11/6/2007
Ok so I go away for one week and I return to chaos. Sabrina Bryan gone? Really?? I'm never leaving the country again if this is what's going to happen. Stupid honeymoon!I can't imagine what must be going through the celeb's minds at this point. If the best dancer can be sent packing, anyone can go. I love how they all had cheetah paws on them. Thanks for the nipple shot, Maksim! Usually I laugh at how the show always uses the line "the most shocking results show yet" but I don't think they... read more
Dancing with the Stars' Host Tom Bergeron Dishes Backstage Secrets! | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 11/5/2007
We haven't seen him do the rumba or the paso doble, but Dancing with the Stars host Tom Bergeron is faster on his feet than any of the celebrity contestants on the ABC hit competition/reality program. Whether he's trading barbs with judges Len Goodman, Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli, chatting with cohost Samantha Harris (and her fill-in Drew Lachey), consoling a celebrity who maybe missed a step (or, heaven forbid, did a lift!), or helping a fainting Marie Osmond up to her feet, Bergeron's... read more
Backstage Scoop From the Results Show! | Dancing with the Stars | 10/24/2007
by Deborah Starr SeibelOn Tuesday night at Dancing with the Stars, everybody could finally take a deep breath. It had been 24 hours since Marie Osmond's collapse on stage, the most dramatic and worrisome moment in the show's five-season history. "I've been in this business for 30 years," says host Tom Bergeron, moments before going live. "And I've never seen anything that bad. When she fell, I was looking at the judges and I just felt this whoosh of air, and I looked back and Marie was on the... read more
Marie, Are You Alright?!? | Dancing with the Stars | 10/23/2007
Well, I think it's safe to say tonight got off to a rocky start. After delivering a decent samba, Marie Osmond passed out right on the ballroom floor! Longest. Commerical Break. Ever. I could be mistaken, but I thought I heard a few laughs from the audience at first, who must have thought she was joking around. But they quickly fell silent when Tom Bergeron went to break. During the commercial, I got so worried. I started to wonder what would happen if something went seriously wrong with her.... read more
Viva Las Vegas! | Dancing with the Stars | 10/10/2007
Phew! The ballroom gods came through and sent Wayne Newton packing! Was I too hard on him? Tell me the truth! Wayne — don't feel bad! I'm sure you have a bathroom the size of my townhouse. We're even!So Floyd Mayweather joined Wayne in the bottom two. I'm not shocked, because I think Floyd and Mark Cuban are the only other two who could have been there. It's only a matter of time for them.This is the first time I am comfortable saying that a woman will win this competition. The men don't... read more
Dancing with the Stars Backstage Report: Samantha's Coming Back! | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 10/10/2007
Results night at Dancing with the Stars was chock full of comings and goings. First came word that cohost Samantha Harris would return from maternity leave next week. "She'll be here for our script meeting on Saturday," says host Tom Bergeron, who has kept in close contact with Harris. "And then she'll be back on the air Monday night." Bergeron had predicted that Harris would be back within a month. She gave birth to a baby girl, Josselyn, on Sept. 23, the day before Dancing's fifth-season ... read more
All in the ABC Family | Today's News: Our Take | 4/20/2007
ABC Family has unveiled its summer and fall schedule, which includes returning tween favorites Kyle XY (premieres Monday, June 11) and Wildfire (January), a pair of new series, the college-set ensemble comedy Greek (July) and the animated Slacker Cats (August), and Tom Bergeron hosted episodes of America's Funniest Home Videos (which are much better than those lame Bob Saget ones). In conjunction with Greek, the channel will launch virtualrush.com next month, yet another social networking site... read more

October 25, 2006: No More Spring in His Step | Dancing With the Stars | 10/26/2006
Even after being told he was voted out, Jerry Springer was still cracking jokes: “Thank you for having me. And thank you for letting me go home.” It’s that mixture of sincere humbleness and self-deprecating humor that I’m going to miss most about Jerry. I think Tom Bergeron said it best when he called Jerry “the heart and soul of this show.” This season would not have been the same without him. He gave the show a sweet paternal subplot, a little age variety and... read more

September 12, 2006: They Feel Like Dancing | Dancing With the Stars | 9/13/2006
Loved the new bigger and better set. The chandeliers and balcony seats add a kind of theater glamour to the show. Tom Bergeron was back in top form with his snappy comments, proving he's one of the best reality-show hosts out there. And the judges were back to bickering amongst themselves in no time. As for the new crop of stars, some lived up to expected awkwardness, while some surprised.Let's start with the top of the pack: Mario Lopez. Sure, I expected A.C. Slater could dance well; after... read more
