Overview
- In an Instagram video, Bergeron showed DWTS production designer James Yarnell giving him a commissioned Mirrorball engraved “Tom Bergeron: Host”.
- The Mirrorball is the show's prize for winning couples, so this custom version functions as a personal thank-you from the team.
- Bergeron hosted Dancing With the Stars from 2005 to 2020 and received nine Emmy nominations, winning in 2012.
- He left after objecting to the casting of Sean Spicer, a clash he later described as “furious” in a 2023 podcast interview.
- He made a one-night return as a guest judge for the 20th anniversary episode in November 2025, signaling ongoing ties with the ballroom.
