Tyra Banks & Alfonso Ribeiro Explain Larger DWTS Cast
Behind the scenes, the move to Disney+ takes the pressure off the hosts as well. Banks explained that she wears an earpiece during filming, and producers tell her when to cut the judges off from talking and go to a commercial break.
And even though there won't be commercials anymore, Banks said executive producers will still advise her to move along the show. "They were like, 'Tyra, we're still gonna say that. We're still gonna make you tell the judges to tie it up, but they're gonna have more time,'" she said. "It hurts my soul to have to cut the judges off because of this time, but by not having the commercials, we're gonna be able to see a bit more breath and air."premieres Sept. 19 on Disney+.
