Us Weekly

“I miss Tom (Bergeron) and Erin (Andrews) … because we’re like family. I don’t get to see them every week," Inaba tells Us Weekly. "But I do think Tyra’s brought an amazing energy. I mean, it’s been controversial, yes — let’s just say it — it has been. But what I think is that she has an excitement to her that is sort of hard to put words to. That’s what makes people want to tune in. She’s so passionate about what she does, and I’m loving that she’s bringing this fashion game to the show."
