Dancing With The Stars

Dancing with the Stars is an American dance competitionshow airing since 2005 on ABC in the United States, and CTV/CTV Two in Canada. The show is the American version of the British television series Strictly Come Dancing. Tom Bergeron is the Emmy-winning host, alongside Erin Andrews, who became co-host in season eighteen.^[1][2] Lisa Canning was co-host in season one, Samantha Harris co-hosted seasons two through nine^[3] and Brooke Burke-Charvet in seasons ten through seventeen.^[4] The show has been renewed for a nineteenth season.^[5]

The contestant pairs consist of a celebrity paired with a professional dancer. Past celebrity contestants have included professional and Olympic athletes, supermodels, actors, singers, astronauts, teen-heartthrobs, and YouTube sensations. Each couple performs predetermined dances and competes against the others for judges' points and audience votes. The couple receiving the lowest combined total of judges' points and audience votes is eliminated each week until only the champion dance pair remains.

In 2012, GSN picked up rerun rights to seasons four to thirteen, but due to low ratings the network stopped airing the show after airing for three months from January 2012 to April 2012 in two different seasons aired mostly on weekends.
