Rob Wade Discusses Dancing With The Stars And Who Is Returning With E Online
Rob Wade talked with E Online about Dancing With The Stars. He talks about Len Goodman and how long he may be sticking around for a couple of more seasons. He also says Julianne Hough and Erin Andrews are returning for Season 20. More below and at the link.
“The truth is there is still a chance that Len will be around for 21, either as a part of, a small part, a big part or a whole part of the season,” he spills. “I don’t know how we’d use him, but he’s very open to it. I spoke to Len two days ago. And then for Season 22, the spring, he’s very up for coming back. And if we can come to an agreement, he absolutely wants to come back. ”
While fan-favorite professional dancer Derek Hough is sitting Season 20 out, Wade confirms his sister and new judge Julianne Hough “is coming back,” telling us the show is incredibly happy with her debut season at the judges’ table. “This was her first season as a judge and I don’t think anyone has any idea how difficult it is to be a judge,” he says. “I thought she got better and better. She’s incredibly knowledgeable.”
Also returning? Co-host Erin Andrews.
“Yes, Erin’s back too. We’re very happy with the show,” Wade says. “This is a great family. We’re behind our cast 100 percent.”
As I think back on all the female co-hosts for the show, all of them have been hated by some group of DWTS viewers. I’ve heard calls for Samantha, Brooke, and Erin to be fired. Doesn’t seem to move the ratings needle either way.
John you are just too rational! Ha. I agree. I don’t care who co hosts, as long as we have Tom and great journeys for the celebs/pros and some good entertaining performances I’m good. And of course pure.
Send Erin back to the football field (or anywhere else you can. Can her actually). Her interviewing techniques are embarrassing. I cringe waiting for the next dumb comment on an exceptional stunning show otherwise. An avid fan of DWTS
I think Brooke has been my favorite from the three….just for fashion sense alone. I really looked forward to seeing what she was going to wear every week.
