Harris tells Us of her departure: "I've loved every aspect of my time at Dancing With The Stars. I've lived and breathed this incredible show for the last eight seasons, making lifelong friends along the way. It has given me so many wonderful opportunities."

DWTS' executive producer Conrad Green tells Us:"It has been an absolute pleasure to work with Samantha. She will be much missed, but always part of the DWTS family. We support her and wish her all the best in her future endeavors."
Harris, 36, has appeared on E! News, The Insider and Extra, and joined DWTS as co-host for season two in 2006. (She replaced Lisa Canning).

109Me too...another viewer waiting to see what's next for Nancy! Gotta be something soon!
I, too, am waiting to see what Nancy has up her sleeve!!! I bet it's DWTS! I keep Googling!
There is a lot of intrigue surrounding Nancy O'Dell's next move. It would be a great attention grabber to bring in Nancy and she'd be perfect for the job!
I'm dying to know what Nancy's doing next because I know she has something up her sleeve!!! I hope it's DWTS...I'll watch!
I'm hoping the new host of Dancing with the Stars will be Nancy O'Dell. There's so much buzz about what she'll be doing next. I know I'd love to see her on the show and I'm sure many others will too. She's definitely very appealing!
I nominate former VH-1 Classic VeeJay and current host of A & E's "Private Sessions", Lynn Hoffman! She'd be perfect! I love my LH-1!
Lynn Hoffman needs to replace Samantha!!!
DEFINITELY LYNN HOFFMAN, SHE IS AMAZING!!! SMART AND BEAUTIFUL!!
Lynn Hoffman from A&E comes to mind - competent and funny.
I hope they ask Lynn Hoffman to do it. I watch her on Private Sessions on A&E and I think she is so natural I'm so jealous of her hair!
Lynn Hoffman of A&E will bring a lot to the table for DWTS!!!
Telma Hopkins would be perfect for this job.
I think Sabrina Bryan would be a good replacement too, she is young and bubbly; loved her backstage segments on abc last year.
sabrina bryan would make a great cohost
I would love 2 see Sabrina Bryan take her place. she would be amazone and might increase viewers.
I would love to see Sabrina Bryan take the job. She is already half way there with the backstage stuff. She does a great job.
MARIE OSMOND! MARIE OSMOND! MARIE OSMOND!!!! SHE'S PERFECT FOR THE PART!!!! She's beautiful and funny!!!!
MARIE OSMOND would be THE PERFECT co-host with Tom Bergeron!!! She's got the best peronality and she's hillarious and fun and funny too!!! I say MARIE OSMOND all the way!!!!
I thought Drew Lachey did an outstanding job when he guest hosted. The only person that I don't want to see get it us Lisa Rinna. If she's in, I'm out!
Sabrina Bryan would be the perfect replacement. She has already worked with the show on backstage interviews , is friends with many of the pros and has the perfect personality ! Plus Tom B. adores her!
