Could Maks Chmerkovskiy Be the Next Dancing With the Stars Host?
Maks Chmerkovskiy is a former Dancing With the Stars professional dancer and the brother of current professional dancer Val Chmerkovskiy. The two are headed out on tour together, and they revealed if theyre gearing up for a new season of the ballroom competition show. Currently, Tyra Banks is the host of Dancing With the Stars, and she has received mixed reactions from fans since taking over from long-time hosts Erin Andrews and Tom Bergeron ahead of season 29. While Val is likely to return for season 30, Maks doesnt want to be a professional dancer on the show, as he previously revealed to Hollywood Life. That doesnt mean he wouldnt be open to another role in the competition, however. Maks Would Love to Host Dancing With the Stars  Maks and Val talked to Us Weekly about their upcoming Val & Maks: Stripped Down Tour and their futures on Dancing With the Stars. Maks has competed in 17 seasons of Dancing With the Stars and won one time, but he says hes not passionate about the experience anymore. Id love to host, Maks told Us Weekly. Id fill any shoes on that show. I wish that I wouldve had that understanding when I first got to the show, we had a different process because I honestly had no examples of anything like this in front of me to be like, Oh, thats what its like. '  He added, I personally would love an opportunity to step into any shoes on the production side or in front of the camera. I dont really necessarily have the passion of leading someone through this incredibly grueling process of three months of getting to the end. I may not have that, but I do have the passion of contributing to dancing, being on television and sticking around.  Maks Does Not Want to Be a Pro on Dancing With the Stars  Maks told Hollywood Life earlier this year that he has parted ways with Dancing With the Stars.  Im a professional father, and I want to be that forever, he told the outlet at the time. Having said that, Dancing With the Stars and Maks, I think that we parted ways a long time ago. I think this show is going through a lot and has to figure out how to get back to what it was without having to deal with Maks.  He added, Thats why Im not thinking about it, and I think that it also leads me to be free to do other things. Even The Masked Dancer, for example, was going on at the same time as Dancing With the Stars. Im me. I rep me, I rep dance and everything that it stands for and can be attached to.
