Videos October 01, 2025
Alfonso Ribeiro stops by to share laughs, wisdom, and a story that will make you love him even more. You know him as the host of “America’s Funniest Videos” and “Dancing with the Stars,” but before all that, he had one of the most embarrassing moments of his life singing the national anthem at Yankee Stadium at just 12 years old… and messing up big time. Instead of letting it break him, Alfonso says that moment shaped his entire career and taught him he has nothing to fear when it comes to performing.
He also opens up about what makes this season of “DWTS” so exciting, the incredible cast, and why the show is about so much more than dancing. From turning failures into fuel to celebrating wins on the dance floor, Alfonso brings inspiration, heart, and plenty of fun.
