Canton, OH – For the first time ever, two NFL Hall of Famers will

be introduced by the same person, “Dancing with the Stars’” Host,

Tom Bergeron. Emmit Smith and Jerry Rice announced on ABC’s

“The View” this morning that the man who turned around their post-

NFL careers is the obvious choice to introduce them on Saturday,

August 7, 2010.

“Tom has a quick wit as we all saw when he co-hosted the Emmy’s a few years back.” Said Smith, “And it’s not unprecedented to have someone from outside the football world introduce you, Walter Payton had his son do it for him.”

Rice agreed, “Every Sunday night for the past decade, as soon as I was done with football, I couldn’t wait to get home to see him host ‘America’s Funniest Home Videos’. It will definitely be an amusing introduction.”

Tom was honored to be asked, “To see two former winners of our show go in to the Hall of Fame together is great, but to be asked to introduce them once again on that stage in August is an honor. I will not let them down.”

When asked if he would recruit other Hall of Famers for the Show, Tom joked, “Maybe if Richard Dent came on the show, he’d get in.”
