When "Dancing with the Stars" returns, it will be without two of its staples: Tom Bergeron and Erin Andrews, hosts of the show.
Bergeron first announced the news on Twitter on Monday.
"Just informed @DancingABC will be continuing without me. It's been an incredible 15 year run and the most unexpected gift of my career," said the 65-year-old comedian. "I'm grateful for that and for the lifelong friendships made. That said, now what am I supposed to do with all of these glitter masks?"

Like many other shows, the future of "DWTS" is a bit murky considering filming -- usually done in front of a live studio audience -- could be impacted by safety restrictions and guidelines set to combat the ongoing spread of coronavirus.
