Former 'DWTS' Host Brooke Burke Won't Attend Show's 20th Birthday Special

Brooke Burke, a season 7 winner and longtime cohost, feels she has completed her journey on the show and will not return for the 20th anniversary special, citing her fulfillment with past achievements.

  • On Tuesday, November 4, former Dancing With the Stars host Brooke Burke said she will not return for the show's 20th birthday special airing Nov. 11 on ABC and Disney+ at 8 p.m. ET.
  • Burke said a redo is hard and that she felt she 'wrung it out' after earlier runs on Dancing With the Stars, praising the 'amazing relationships' but feeling her time is behind her.
  • Regarding her exit in 2014, Burke said she 'never say no, never closed doors professionally, but I mean, it was eight seasons, and I did everything I needed to do in the ballroom,' and felt disappointed after learning she wouldn't return for season 18.
  • The broadcast will air on ABC and Disney+ at 8 p.m. ET, stream the next day on Hulu, and Entertainment Weekly has requested comment while Jennie Garth joked she ignored an email about the special.
  • Nearly 20 seasons later, Dancing With the Stars is celebrating its 20th year with a televised '20th Birthday Party,' featuring Derek Hough, Julianne Hough, and Alfonso Ribeiro.
