How’s this for a cool switcheroo?
"Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" star and "Dancing With the Stars" champion Alfonso Ribeiro will be taking over as host of ABC’s long-running "America’s Funniest Home Videos," replacing the outgoing Tom Bergeron, it was announced Tuesday during the "DWTS" finale.
Ribeiro, who took home the Mirror Ball trophy in season 19 of "DWTS," will lead "America’s Funniest Home Videos" when it returns for its 26th season this fall. Bergeron had hosted the show since 2001.
