Tom Bergeron talks hosting Shark Week's "Dancing With Sharks" and the "sad" trophy. "That's the same reaction I had with the 'DWTS' trophy."

Fans will have to tune in to see what it takes for a competitor to actually come out on top, but TV journalist and Shark Week returnee Kinga Philipps spoke with CinemaBlend during Discovery's press junket for the seven-day event.

The Emmy-winning TV host, who also helmed “Hollywood Squares” from 1998 to 2004 and “America’s Funniest Home Videos” from 2001 to 2015, hosted “Dancing With the Stars” from 2005 until he was fired from the ABC show in 2020. He was later replaced by Tyra Banks, who hosted just three seasons before her exit.
