Pat Sajak Insulted ‘Dancing with the Stars’ Tom Bergeron Fires Back

I met Tom Bergeron, host of Dancing with the Stars, back in 2008.  I was in Las Vegas at a gathering for that years MDA Telethon.

At that time the Telethon was broadcast here in Sioux Falls on KSFY-TV.  I was one of the local co-hosts, along with the much more talented Mitch Krebs and Nancy Naeve from KSFY, Danny Collins from KIKN radio & Jeff Harkness from B102.7.

Before the photo above was taken I ran into Tom Bergeron just outside the South Point Convention Center's casino there in Vegas.  I said "Howdy!"  He stopped and asked if I was there for the MDA gathering. I said that indeed I was. He then thanked me for my involvement with that great fundraiser.

I did likewise and we chatted a little more as walked together into the convention room. He seemed like a heck of a nice guy.

This week Pat Sajak host of Wheel of Fortune made a brutal crack about Dancing with the Stars on Twitter.

When Tom Bergeron saw it, he fired back with a few comments of his own.  You can see the exchange here:
