Tom Bergeron is going to be a busy man tonight.  In addition to introducing a whole new round of competitors, he’ll be welcoming a new Dancing With The Stars co-host.  Those who watched last season saw a very pregnant Samantha Harris do the backstage post-dance analysis.  One has to wonder if she scheduled her delivery in time to watch the DWTS premiere today.  Harris and her husband, Michael Hess, welcomed their own new addition yesterday morning.  The baby girl, Josselyn Sydney Hess, is the couple’s first child. 

As for who will be joining Tom on stage tonight—ABC will not say.  They are doing their best to keep one casting selection a secret.  (Please don’t let it be Lisa Rinna.  I’m all Lisa Rinnaed-out right now).  But for now, I will go ahead and predict Harris’ return next season—as a competitor.  How else will she lose the baby weight?
