Tom, 69, won the Sam Rubin Award at the 6th Annual Critics Choice Real TV Awards in Los Angeles, California on Saturday, June 15.
While there, AND! News I interviewed him about his time on DWTS.
He joked that the paycheck is what he misses most about his time on the show.
“There are some people I miss, but I’m really glad I’m not hosting,” Tom admitted.
The former host also admitted that he never watched DWTS.
“To be honest, I never watched it when I was hosting it,” Tom told the outlet.
“I watched it while I was there, obviously, but I never watched it as a TV show.”
Tom has hosted the dance competition, which pairs professional dancers with celebrity contestants, for 15 years.
DANCE OUTSIDE
Tom and co-host Erin Andrews were fired from DWTS in 2020.
Tom has hosted every season of the show since then, with different co-hosts over the years.
“I just informed you that @DancingABC will continue without me,” he wrote on X, formerly Twitter, at the time.
“It was an incredible 15 years and the most unexpected gift of my career. I am grateful for this and for the friendships made throughout my life. That being said, now what am I supposed to do with all these shiny masks?”
Tom wanted to take a season off after objecting to the hiring of former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer as a contestant on the show.
However, the producers decided to let him go.
Tom and Erin were replaced by Tyra Banks, who faced a lot of backlash.
