Fresh Prince of Bel-Air star and Dancing With the Stars champion Alfonso Ribeiro will be taking over as host of ABC’s long-running America’s Funniest Home Videos, replacing the outgoing Tom Bergeron, it was announced Tuesday during the DWTS finale.
Ribeiro, who took home the Mirror Ball trophy in season 19 of DWTS, will lead America’s Funniest Home Videos when it returns for its 26th season this fall. Bergeron had hosted the show since 2001.
