I’m glad she’s leaving – I’ve never liked her. She sucks as an interviewer, esp. in comparison with the ever-nimble Tom Bergeron, who ad-libs with complete aplomb.

Who do you think should replace her?

(And why hasn’t there been any news of a spring season?)

ETA: Season premiere March 22nd.

If we’re rid of her and a certain couple of dancers this season, I might bother watching.

Though not if the rumor of Paula Abdul as a contestant is true.
