Alfonso Ribeiro Joins Dancing with the Stars as Co-Host; Archer Returns for Season 13 in August

Tyra Banks is back as host and executive producer of Dancing with the Stars for her third consecutive season. Joining her as co-host is DWTS season 19 Mirrorball Champion Alfonso Ribeiro. Expert judges Len Goodman, Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli and Derek Hough also resume their seats on the ballroom floor. The season 31 premiere date on Disney+ will be announced at a later date. Alfonso Ribeiro currently hosts ABC's America's Funniest Home Videos and the show returns this fall for season 33. Ribeiro also hosts the longtime ABC hit's successful spinoff, America's Funniest Home Videos: Animal Edition, that airs on Nat Geo WILD and brings lots of laughs into homes across America with hilarious clips of cats, dogs and other animals.
Dancing with the Stars is the hit series hosted by supermodel and businesswoman Tyra Banks and actor and television personality Alfonso Ribeiro in which celebrities are paired with trained ballroom dancers to compete in themed choreographed dance routines that are judged by a panel of renowned ballroom experts, including Len Goodman, Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli and Derek Hough. After an impressive 30 seasons on ABC, Dancing with the Stars moves to its new home on Disney+, premiering exclusively in the U.S. and Canada this fall, and making Dancing with the Stars the first live series to debut on the streaming service.
FX's Archer, the Emmy Award-winning animated comedy, will return for its 13th season on Wednesday, August 24 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on FXX, streaming the next day on Hulu. The latest season of Archer will be followed on Thursday, August 25 with the series premiere of the new animated comedy Little Demon on FXX at 10 p.m. ET/PT. Since FXX expanded its programming line-up last September - adding all seasons of Family Guy to a schedule that includes such all-time classics as King of the Hill, Bob's Burgers, and The Simpsons among others - it has become the go-to network for animated adult comedies, surging nearly +65% in Primetime in P18-49 and vaulting +21 spots - from #36 to #15 - in overall cable channel rankings to now place neck-and-neck with Adult Swim.
Archer is an animated, half-hour comedy that follows Sterling Archer as he navigates the changing landscape of the spy world. This season, Archer and The Agency have been acquired by Fabian Kingsworth and the spy conglomerate known as IIA (International Intelligence Agency). As the gang struggles to find their identity performing odd missions for Fabian, one question arises: will they be able to maintain independence, or will they succumb to their corporate overlords? The series features the voices of H. Jon Benjamin as the world's greatest spy, "Sterling Archer;" Aisha Tyler as the spy with marital troubles, "Lana Kane;" Judy Greer as the crazy office assistant in search of a special skill, "Cheryl/Carol Tunt;" Chris Parnell as the reliable company-man, "Cyril Figgis;" Amber Nash as the enthusiastic offender, "Pam Poovey;" Adam Reed as the opportunist, "Ray Gillette" and Lucky Yates as the experimenter-in-chief, "Algernop Krieger." Season 13 also features the voices of guest stars Kenan Thompson, Alison Pill, Christian Slater, Kayvan Novak and Stephen Tobolowsky, to name a few.
