Derek Hough’s New Show, “World of Dance” Set to Premiere May 8th
At 10 pm/9pm central – right after DWTS. 🙂 Very strategic placement, I would say. Hope this show is as good as it looks and is more successful that SYTYCD. We’ll see. The difference being this show was all pre-taped and edited…should make it have less filler crap. Hopefully.

ETA: Also, note that the show will move to Tuesdays on May 30th according to Deadline.
Yahoo has an article and a couple photos about the show, including this poster:
Derek- "hold my hand I'm going to flip you"

Being lead in by the Voice and being right after DWTS. I’ll be surprised if it doesn’t do well in the ratings. It has America’s Got Talent as a lead in throughout the summer as well. It’ll definately get better ratings than SYTYCD.
Time will tell and you can’t really make a guess until you see the finished product, but great time slot. I am just not getting a real good vibe from the little I see, that may totally change when I see the show. I hope the best for Derek, and he will shine regardless, but to much J-Lo for me.
I think it’s a great time slot and yeah I don’t think that’s a coincidence lol. I’ve been looking forward to seeing this show ever since I heard about!!! Luv all of the hosts although I’m not a huge Jlo fan ? But I gotta say she’s a savvy business woman to put all this together. Can’t wait to see Derek in this new role-I think he’s gonna shine;)
As far as the ratings go, I agree-I think time will tell-especially since it’s a new show making it’s debut and it’s being stacked up against other shows on other networks that involve some form of entertainment. But a lot of people want something new and fresh and exciting!! ??????????
NBC and JLo have a sweet relationship. They renewed Shades of Blue yesterday despite it only being on for a couple of episodes now they’re giving WoD a strong time slot. If they revive American Idol you’d imagine she’d be a judge as well. Derek is on to a good thing associating himself with her. As for the show, I agree that being pre recorded should be a plus due to the ability to edit and clean it up to make it the best it can be.
Looks amazing… So proud of Derek!! He’s an excellent choice as a judge for this show.
Like the poster says, “It takes the best to find the best” and he clearly is one of them.
Great panel of judges!! Go Derek!
Forgot to say, that one armed flip by Derek with Jenna was amazing!! Wow.. She landed with such style too. 🙂
Is that a strong time slot for WoD?? What’s it’s lead in – The Voice??
Derek is on more shows and getting more PR than anyone else on DWTS, including Julianne these days. Right now he’s got WoD, Celebrity American Ninja thing, Celebrity Game Night…and a bunch of other stuff I’m likely forgetting. He’s on a roll. Oh, that’s right – he has a recurring role on a pilot with Paula Abdul. If that gets picked up, he’ll be on TV somewhat regularly as an ACTOR. The people he is hanging with is really strong. When you’re buds with David Foster and JLo, you’re doing something right.
It’s the strongest it could possibly be for a 10pm show Heidi. It isn’t a great time to be on, less and less people watch 10pm shows these days and just DVR them instead. But it has very strong lead ins. It’s premiere is led in by the Voice and lots of DWTS viewers will surely switch over from ABC. Then it moves to Tuesday where it’s lead in will be America’s Got Talent. If it does flop in the ratings, they can’t say that NBC haven’t given them all the help it can get.
I personally like the time slot. I won’t have to wake up really early to tune in. I do hope the show will do very well in the ratings.
What an elite team!! Love the caption on their poster…yes, they have the best looking for the best in the world! And what an awesome video segment of Derek flipping Jenna! This show is going to be epic!!
