Will Dancing With The Stars Air At The Same Time As The 2016 Presidential Debates?
According to Glamour, Dancing With The Stars will continue to air on Mondays and Tuesdays for the next three weeks and then go back to just dances and eliminations on Monday nights. You know what that means….MORE PRO NUMBERS! Yay!!
Also, some of you might be wondering (like myself) if the show conflicts with the 2016 Presidential Debates. Via ABC, Dancing With The Stars will only air for an hour on Monday next week September 26th. It starts at 8:00pm ET. The Presidential Debate will take place at 9:00pm ET right afterwards (but, check times in your area just to be sure depending if you have cable or a satellite). The Results Show will air for 2 hours on Tuesday, September 27th.
ETA: ABC has updated their schedule. Note that Dancing With The Stars will return to it’s 2 hour show on Monday, October 3rd. The Results show will air for an HOUR ONLY on Tuesday, October 4th. The Vice-Presidential Debate will air immediately afterwards.
Any idea how the format will work? It seems like a lot of dancing to crunch into an hour (although I think this was the right decision).
Wow! Cramming in 12 dances in 1 hour will be tough. The judges comments usually take up 1 hour alone! LOL! Maybe they will limit the judges comments to taking turns and only 1 judge comment on each dance.
Tom made a comment about some kind of dance-off format. I’m sure it will be explained tonight.
Yikes, that’ll be hard to fit all that dancing in one hour. Even on freestyle night when they only have three finale couples and six dances, it can sometimes seem rushed to fit it all in an hour.
I hope we don’t get super short dances, where as soon as the dance gets going it ends. I’d rather they cut some of the judges blather and Erin’s talks with the couples after they dance, than shorten the actual dances.
I live on the east coast and on TVGuide it shows DWTS from 8-9PM EST and the debates from 9-11PM EST. Anyone else confirm that as well?
i think that is why they are doing dance offs in week 3
I think the debates are live across time zones, so here in CA we’ll get the debates from 6-8 and then DWTS.
