Tom Bergeron is a veteran professional host. They don’t make them like him anymore—and that’s not a cliché. It’s solid truth.
To promote his latest project, “Dancing with Sharks,” Bergeron stopped by ABC’s The View to chat about his time working with Whoopi Goldberg on Hollywood Squares during the 1990s. He also shared insights into his secret sauce for longevity in the entertainment industry.
And yes, he had a little fun with the show’s name too—saying he’s “viewed” (get it?) sharks dance, and calls the ocean’s apex predators “beautiful performers.”
Dancing with Sharks – Shark Week 2025
“Dancing with Sharks” kicks off Shark Week 2025 on July 20 on the Discovery Channel—the iconic TV event that’s been thrilling audiences since 1987.
This new special is exactly what it sounds like: a dancing competition where live sharks are the contestants. Equal parts surreal and spectacular, it’s a jaw-dropping twist on both nature programming and reality TV.
