Tyra Banks Out of DWTS After Fans Outcry? Execs Reportedly Want THIS Kardashian-Jenner Sister To Host
Tyra Banks, the show's host, is disliked by viewers of "Dancing With the Stars."
The long-serving executives of dance competitions will now make a dramatic shift.
According to The Sun, following season 30's low ratings, the "America's Next Top Model" star might benefit from a co-host.
The news of the other co-host comes after supporters demanded that she be fired.
Following news that ABC Network was "mapping out" what to do with "Dancing With the Stars," the publication said that executives are looking to recruit a well-known figure to co-host with Tyra, maybe one of the Kardashian-Jenner sisters.
Instead of replacing Tyra, the managers are said to be considering names that will attract "more eyeballs."
Kylie Jenner, a 24-year-old new mother of two, was one of the names that came up.
ABC is "determined to keep 'DWTS' as a flagship show," according to an insider, and serious talks have yet to begin.
LeVar Burton, Ellis Ross, and even "Drag Race" host RuPaul are all plausible candidates to stand beside the former supermodel.
Michael Strahan and Jimmy Kimmel are two wild card candidates.
The show is determined to "sign at least one major star," with the source adding, "At least one or ideally two major household names that fascinate fans."
Bosses are "thinking big" and even consider an "Oscar, Emmy, or Grammy" winning celebrity.
However, "Dancing With the Stars" hasn't been renewed yet, but the production staff is expected to still be there for the upcoming season.
Despite the low ratings, the show still makes a lot of profit.

Tyra Banks' The Worst Host' of 'DWTS'
Tyra Banks took over as the sole host of "Dancing With the Stars" for the 29th season, replacing long-time hosts Tom Bergeron and Erin Andrews.
Fans, on the other hand, are not pleased with the model's appointment as the new presenter. Tyra's several gaffes while presenting the dance competition on live television didn't help matters.
During one of the elimination procedures, Tyra declared the erroneous bottom two pair and even blamed the broadcast error on a cue card.
There was also a fan petition on Change.org to have her replaced as host, which received over 14,000 signatures.
Tyra Banks' costumes on the program are also highly flamboyant, leading some viewers to believe she is upstaging the artists.
