    Like nails on a chalkboard! hide show

    The Professional Association of TV Hosts, is ther eis such a thing, should, on principle, ban this woman (and while they're at it, Lara Spencer who is cut from the same defective mold) from ever inflicting herself on the public again!

    This bio is obviously old because she is long gone from Dancing (who can have her back because I don't watch it anyway) and is now seemingly being groomed to replace Mary Hart on ET.

    Now Mary is quite animated enough for me. Any more is too much though I think a) Mary is genuinely liked and b) it doesn't hurt that her hubby is a producer(!), but Samantha Harris is just so...so...MUCH!

    I understand that a personable, confident and knowledgeable interviewer is desirable for such entertainment shows, but if I were a celeb and saw her coming at me I would run the other way; at the very least I would certainly not grant an interview to her specifically.

    She is too much; too familiar and just too freakin' 'special'.

    Mary: sorry my friend. You can't retire. You're stuck, because you can't leave us to this irritating woman!

    Samantha Harris is absolutely the most abysmal hostess - if there was a reason not to watch the show - she is Number 1 season after season! hide show

    Hairy106 - You must have been reading our minds. Samantha is THE WORST hostess ever. We turn off the volume while Samantha is speaking - and even then, you can tell what she says is just plain worthless. She has nothing of any value to add. She's not funny at all. You can tell the stars/cast members are irritated by her....And, she's just plain annoying. How did she get on this show anyway? My dogs have better personalities. Samantha Harris is absolutely the most abysmal hostess - if there was ever a reason not to watch the show - she is Number 1 season after season!

    Possibly the worst television hostess ever! hide show

    Every Monday and Tuesday night my family and I sit in front of the television to watch Dancing With The Stars. Every week my family and I react the same way. We cannot stand to see Samantha on the screen. She laughs for no apparent reason all the time and this is not the worst of her numerous problems. When speaking to contestants, she constantly interrupts with useless and annoying comments. Also, the questions that she ask are basically repeating what was said just before her segment. One of the worst things about her is that she clearly thinks that she is funny and she is not.
    I hope that the Dancing With The Stars producers will realize this and remove her from their otherwise good show.

    A pretty good hostess... hide show

    I've seen Samantha Harris on some episodes of E! and on a favorite show of me and my sister when we were younger: The Next Joe Millionaire. She wasn't bad, but she could have been better. She hosts one of my favorite shows of all time: Dancing with the Stars. I used to love her work, but now it's kind of getting annoying. For instance, she is constantly talking too much, she cuts others off when they're trying to speak, and she asks questions that are offensive to the dancers or are a struggle to answer. I know that she's a reporter, but she really should get a respect for other people's privacy. On the other hand, she has great hair XD I've always loved her hair XD The hair dressers on DWTS do a great job!
