Samantha Harris and Tom Bergeron came to Dancing with the Stars as hosts backed up by their experiences on television. Tom was the host of Hollywood Squares and America 's Funniest Home Videos while Samantha hosted Extra, various live-award shows and news for E! and The Next Joe Millionaire, and guest-hosting for The View. The two have become well-known to fans of the celebrity dance competition, but they have also been working on other hostings besides the reality series as well.



In fact, Samantha will be hosting alongside Regis Philbin and Shaun Robinson on the red carpet at the upcoming Oscar Academy Awards. It will be the first time for Samantha to work on this particular venue on the network carrying the awards show. However, she has previously covered the event for E! in the past, as well as awards shows Golden Globes and Emmy Awards.

As for Tom Bergeron, he will be joining ABC colleague Vanessa Williams of Ugly Betty for the 2008 Broadcasters Foundation of America Golden Mike Award Gala on February 25. The event will be in honor of Anne Sweeney, co-chair of Disney Media Networks and president of the Disney-ABC Television Group. Tom will serve as the master of ceremonies for the function, which is a black-tie event benefiting the Broadcasters Foundation of America.

On March 15, Tom will also serve as the master of ceremonies at the 29th College Television Awards gala at Culver Studios in Los Angeles , which aims to honor outstanding achievements of college students in television and media.

"I'm thrilled to be back as host of the College Television Awards," Tom commented about the event. "These talented students are the industry's leaders of the future, so I might as well start kissing up to them now."
