When asked how she felt about being a cheerleader for the contestants but fighting with judges, Len Goodman, Bruno Tonioli, and Carrie Ann Inaba, she said: "I kind of feel like I have to. I mean, you know, we don't have a live audience this year, so I have to represent like where everybody at home is sitting on the couch, going, 'Aw, be quiet, Carrie Ann. Shut up, Bruno. What really Derek?' you know, so I have to channel what I feel like they're thinking and speak up for the audience, and I'm probably going to get in trouble.

"I'm probably going to have like the director in my ear going 'Tyra, you are host, you are host, you are host. Okay. Don't fight the judges. Don't fight the judges.'"
Tyra's not just the host though, she’s also taken on the role of executive producer for the 29th season of the show, which premieres on 14 September.
She shared her joy at being involved with DWTS on their official Instagram: "I am so excited you guys. This is going to be, like, bananas. We're going to take Dancing with the Stars to the next level."
