His co-hosts included Lisa Canning (season 1), Samantha Harris (seasons 2-9), Brooke Burke-Charvet (seasons 10-17) and Erin Andrews (seasons 18-28). The original judges were Len Goodman, Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli, and they are now joined by Derek Hough, who filled in for Len in DWTS season 29 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and has now become a permanent judge. There have been many guest judges over the years, including Julianne Hough, who judged seasons 19-21, 23 and 24. The show pairs professional dancers with celebrities, who learn and perform dances each week.
