She's a very pretty girl, but not a great host. I just hope they replace her with someone witty and good, not just great legs in a short skirt.

Louie made the Olympic snowboarding team. Go Louie! Giles Marini was the guest questioner on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire today. He's still looking hot!

I hope they replace Samantha with someone who knows how to hold a mike to the contestants. She kind of drove me nuts.

To me she was sort of a non-entity. I remember when she was gone awhile, and I didn't even realize it until she came back.

I would hope they would just not replace her. There is way too much fluff in the show and the host is quite good at hosting.

Speedking (appropriate name!) beat me to it! I just read about it on CNN. I'm really happy about this, I never thought Samantha was very good. And, yeah, they don't need to replace her, Tom can do it all, and he does it so well.

I am so glad she is going, I do not think she adds anything to the show. She just irritates me

I will join in the chorus: what a pleasant surprise and relief that Samantha Harris is leaving! It says that she has been with the show for 8 out of 9 seasons; did Tom carry the show by himself for the first season--anyone remember?

Beth, I think Sam was pregnant during one season so not there. Drew Lachey and I think someone else were co-hosts during that season.

I found this at Wikipedia. The show is currently hosted by Emmy Award-winning game show host and television personality, Tom Bergeron alongside Lisa Canning for the first season, before former E! reporter, Samantha Harris took over the role as co-hostess from 2006 to 2009. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dancing_with_the_Stars_ (U.S._TV_series)

I remember Lisa, she was worse than Sam! It would be fun if they had former contestants do the backstage interview/scoring part of the program.

Put me on the "Yipee" train that Samantha Harris is leaving! So many others could do better IMO. How about Lisa Rinna - she gave them a run as a contestant on season 2. Heck - how about Cloris or any of the other kinda comic folks that have been contestants in the past. Just no Marie Osmond please......

I don't understand why so many people dislike her. She seemed completely harmless to me. Be careful what you wish for.

I liked her and thought she was pretty fast thinking. Not an equal to Tom in that art, but good nonetheless. If a person thinks it is easy just take a look at the interviewers on Red Carpets. Some of the biggest names have no talent for thinking on their feet. Without a scrip they are pitiful to watch.

You might be right OG. It may be that since she's standing next to Tom, who is SO great at being the host, that most everyone will pale in comparison. I thought she was very cute to look at, but found some of her questioning to be really lame and some of her handling of the contestants to be awkward. It would be nice if they took a hint from Idol and just went with one host. I'm not sure they need two.

WoW GREAT news! I have never understood how Samantha kept that job. For years she sputtered and stammered her way nearly every time she was on. She would ask dancers/celebs embarrassing questions, and even worse many that made little sense. And all this was made worse cause it was on live TV and couldn't be fixed. I'll never forget when she was out on maternity leave and Drew Lachey took her place and did a GREAT job. Back then MANY of us were hoping they would keep him and can her. Even though he was never trained/worked in a hosting capacity was funny, enjoyable and made few mistakes. She was just awkward. As for comparing her w/her co-host, I've long said that this show gave us both ends of the spectrum. The VERY BEST in Tom and the absolute worst in Samantha. I have nothing against her personally, but am delighted she will be off DWTS!

I just read that Pam Anderson from Baywatch will be on this season. They also speculated that Levi Johnson will be on too. I sure hope not.

If they put Pam Anderson with Louis, his head would probably get caught in her cleavage. Either that or he'd keep getting black eyes.

I'm kind of hoping for Greg Louganis. I have always been a huge fan of his.

Greg Louganis would be awesome, and he says he'd love to do the show in an interview in People Mag.
