Brooke Burke-Charvet is returning to ABC to co-host the Miss America pageant once again. She will be hosting with The Bachelor’s Chris Harrison.
ABC announced the news today. She joins a star-studded roster that also includes Nick Jonas as music curator and Zendaya as one of the judges. The other judges are Shark Tank’s Kevin O’Leary, athlete Amy Purdy and Taya Kyle, the widow of American Sniper author Chris Kyle.
“It’s great to be back with Miss America for the 95th Anniversary competition and co-hosting with partner Chris Harrison,” Burke-Charvet said in a statement. “It’s always impressive and inspiring to meet the young women who strive to make a difference in their communities, while furthering their education and advancing principles of service, style and success.”
As the music curator, Jonas is responsible for picking the songs to go with the swimsuit and evening gown competitions. He’s also going to explain his song choices with commentary throughout.
Burke-Charvet, who spoke with TheCelebrityCefe.com in 2012, won Dancing with the Stars and hosted that show for eight seasons. She is also an entrepreneur, launching BabooshBaby.com and ModernMom.com. She’s also the author of The Naked Mom: A Mother’s Fearless Revelations and has a new book out next year under the Chicken Soup For The Soul banner.
