Julianne Hough has one celebrity she believes would be “amazing” in the Dancing With the Stars cast.
ABC recently confirmed Season 33, with the premiere date and cast yet to be revealed.
Celebrity contestants and their professional dance partners typically get unveiled a month before the season begins.
However, that hasn’t stopped fans from demanding specific dancers return to the show or calling out celebs they want to participate.
Julianne, a former DWTS pro dancer and judge, is now the show’s co-host alongside Alfonso Ribeiro.
While she may need to remain neutral once the competition begins, she said there’s one individual she’s “rooting for” to appear in an upcoming DWTS cast.

“Dancing with the Stars” premiered in 2005 with a focus on teaching celebrities some fancy footwork. But along the way the professional dancers who teach and partner with those celebrity amateurs became stars in their own right. Many of them returned to the show year after year, and over a dozen have won the coveted Mirror Ball Trophy over the course of the series. Scroll down to see every single “DWTS” pro champion, listed by their number of victories.
It’s fitting that the “DWTS” pros have become fan-favorites because they’re not just dancers. They’re also trainers, choreographers and storytellers, and their chemistry with the stars fuels the show’s best routines, so they’re truly the lifeblood of the competition, especially when they bring talent and charisma out of unexpected places, from child stars to race car drivers to one male model, Nyle Dimarco, who won the Mirror...

Heading into Dancing With the Stars’ season finale, Xochitl Gomez and Val Chmerkovskiy were the clear favorites among TVLine readers — not only for who would win Season 32, but who should win Season 32.
Xochitl was among a record five finalists competing on Tuesday’s season ender, alongside Ariana Madix, Jason Mraz, Alyson Hannigan and Charity Lawson. But before the Len Goodman Mirrorball trophy could go to any of those hopefuls, Dancing had a three-hour (!) broadcast in store for us, packed with two closing routines from each couple, plus a whooole lotta filler. Did we need 30 full minutes to recap all of this season’s best performances?...

“Dancing with the Stars” crowned new champions on Monday night as Iman Shumpert and Daniella Karagach won Season 30, but their victory certainly felt like old times. Like we said before the finale, the NBA champ exemplifies what the show is really about (and used to be?): someone with no dance experience who worked hard, improved and was enjoying themselves and their partnership. It was also a win that no one saw coming two months ago.
To be fair, no one involved in the show or fans for that matter can predict which celebrity or couple will flourish or bomb or click with or alienate the audience. You might have an idea, but no really knows until it happens. Sure, the season-long favorite has won it all before — and runners-up JoJo Siwa and Jenna Johnson would’ve been deserving, groundbreaking winners — but sometimes someone manages you to surprise you in the best way,...

The return of a live audience to the Indianapolis 500 also saw the return of a veteran driver to the winner’s circle.
Helio Castroneves, at 46 one of oldest drivers in the field, joined the exclusive four-time winners club, gaining his first victory in motor sports’ most fabled race since 2009. The race was televised and streamed by NBC.
He celebrated his achievement by scaling a fence and sprinting across the speedway track to wave to the 135,000 fans in attendance, the largest post-pandemic crowd yet.
Joining him during his victory job were multiple drivers and most of Team Penske, the organization where he spent more than two decades and won three Indy 500s.
In winning, Castroneves joins A.J. Foyt, Al Unser Sr. and Rick Mears, his former mentor at Team Penske, as the only four-time winners of “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing.” Mears was the last driver to join the club in 1991.

“Girl on Fire” indeed. Hannah Brown’s “Dancing with the Stars” victory on Monday ended a four-season streak of male champs and equalized the number of male and female winners.
Now “Dancing” has an even 14 male winners and 14 female winners through 28 seasons. As Thanos would say, “Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.” What’s interesting about its champs, though, is a bunch have come during some one-gender domination. Seasons 2 through 5 were won by men; Seasons 15 through 18 were won by women; and Season 24 through 27 were all dudes again.
Had Kel Mitchell, who finished second, prevailed, it would’ve marked the longest win streak by either gender at five straight.

After a one-week hiatus, James Van Der Beek has reclaimed the top spot in our “Dancing with the Stars” odds as not only the one to beat, but the guy to beat. The next closest man in our odds is — gulp — Sean Spicer in seventh place. If the “Dawson’s Creek” alum does take home the Mirrorball, he’d be the fifth consecutive man to win, marking the longest win streak by either gender on the show.
“Dancing” has had a pretty even split through 27 seasons with 13 female champs and 14 male champs. But there has been some same-sex domination in there, but none more than four in a row: Seasons 2 through 5 were won by men; Seasons 15 through 18 were won by women; and since Season 24, we’ve had dude champs.

Maksim Chmerkovskiy won the 18th season of “Dancing with the Stars” with Meryl Davis, but he still thinks about the one that got away. That would be 13 seasons earlier, when he and Mel B came in second place.
“I was so disappointed,” Chmerkovskiy tells the spring issue of Lapalme magazine, in which he and wife Peta Murgatroyd have a photo spread. “I thought I had her at a good time, she was in incredible shape, before her marriage problems and she was there to work. We were crazy with our work schedules and we even had to learn routines in parking lots. But alas, we came in second.”
The two were frontrunners from the start and had the highest average score of the season, but they were edged out by Indy 500 champ Helio Castroneves and Julianne Hough. The Spice Girl had a one-point advantage over Castroneves, but he had the backing of the fans.

It’s better to give than to receive, and the judges’ very generous donation of a 30 for Bobby Bones‘ freestyle has saved him and “Dancing with the Stars” from further ignominy. Without that 30, he would’ve been the first winner who didn’t receive a perfect score during their run.
A perfect score for Bones and his partner Sharna Burgess was by no means guaranteed. He had never received a higher single score than an 8 and never scored higher than a 24, first achieved in Week 7, and his dancing level, frankly, didn’t really warrant much higher than that. But as the judges are wont to do sometimes, they handed out perfect scores for everyone’s freestyles on Monday’s finale, which is also kind of insulting to Milo Manheim, Evanna Lynch and Alexis Ren; if Bones’ half-soliloquy, half-dance deserved a 30, then their far technically superior routines deserved 40s. Hilariously, this...

Age is just a number, and Milo Manheim might prove that adage true again. The 17-year-old is one of the frontrunners to win “Dancing with the Stars” and would in turn become the show’s youngest male champ ever.
The “Zombies” star, who has the second highest average score this season, would break the record currently held by Jordan Fisher, then 23 when he took home the Mirrorball trophy in Season 25. Fisher had ended the 21-season, 10-and-a-half-year reign of Apolo Anton Ohno, who won Season 4 on his 25th birthday.

Manheim, who was 4 when “Dancing” premiered in 2005, would also be the first male teenager to win. Not unlike the Oscars, younger women have fared better on “Dancing” than younger men, resulting in three female teen champs. Laurie Hernandez, the youngest overall winner, was 16 when...

“Dancing with the Stars: Athletes” only lasted four weeks, but figure skater Adam Rippon won it in decisive fashion. He became the Mirror Ball Trophy champion on Monday night, May 21 after topping the judges’ leaderboard every single week. In fact, he was the front-runner before he ever set foot in the ballroom. We tipped him to win as soon as the cast was announced in April. But is he the best athlete ever to win “DWTS”? Click through our gallery above of all 26 winners. Then scroll down to vote in our poll at the bottom of this post.
To date 11 sports stars have won “DWTS.” Rippon is the third figure skater, following Olympic gold medalists Kristi Yamaguchi (season 6) and Meryl Davis (season 18). But one sport has accounted for even more Mirror Ball titles. Football has produced four victors: Emmitt Smith (season 3), Hines Ward (season 12), Donald Driver (season 14) and Rashad Jennings...

Tonya Harding would probably tell you herself she’s the underdog in the “Dancing with the Stars: Athletes” final three. No one, not even she, thought she’d get this far. Our odds have her finishing in third, behind Josh Norman and frontrunner Adam Rippon, which would be a very good and respectable placement for someone many thought would and wanted to get the boot in the first episode. But could she actually go even further and claim the Mirrorball trophy? “Dancing” history shows that, more often than not, the final two tends to be a his-and-her battle.
In the show’s previous 25 seasons, 17 final twos have come down to a female and a male celebrity. The longest streak was eight seasons, from Season 5 through 12. Of these 17, the woman prevailed 10 times. While each season is a very specific case, this data isn’t that shocking; female dancers — whether the pro...

When you’re hot you’re hot. That could be the case for professional dancer Lindsay Arnold on “Dancing with the Stars: Athletes.” She’s coming off her first ever Mirror Ball Trophy win in season 25 with Jordan Fisher, and this season she’s competing with seven-foot basketball legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Can she win back-to-back seasons? Only three other pros have accomplished that feat.
The first to achieve consecutive Mirror Ball victories was Cheryl Burke, who won the first two seasons she ever competed in: season 2 with singer Drew Lachey and season 3 with football player Emmitt Smith. She hasn’t won since, but in her 18 subsequent seasons on the show she made the finals five more times, finishing second with Gilles Marini (season 8) and Rob Kardashian (season 13), and placing third with Christian de la Fuente (season 6), William Levy (season 14) and Jack Osbourne (season 17).

Apolo Anton Ohno has danced off with another win: The short track speed skater is your favorite male athlete winner of “Dancing with the Stars.” With 39 percent of the vote, Ohno was way ahead of the other five contenders.
The eight-time Olympic medalist won Season 4 in 2007 with Julianne Hough, beating Joey Fatone and Kym Johnson with their electric hip-hop freestyle. Ohno later placed fifth with Karina Smirnoff in the all-star season.
Well behind in second place with 26 percent is Rashad Jennings, who won Season 24 with Emma Slater. The former New York Giants running back took down frontrunners Normani Kordei and Val Chmerkovskiy, who had to settle for third place behind runner-ups David Ross and Lindsay Arnold.

While female Olympians have struck Mirrorball glory on “Dancing with the Stars,” it’s a different story for the dudes. The most successful male athletes on the show are football players. Shocking, right? (Not.) Of the 10 athletes that have won “Dancing” in its first 25 seasons, six were men and four of those men were pigskin players. So you can probably book a football player or two for the upcoming “Dancing with the Stars: Athletes.” But which of these six champs has your vote?
The first male athlete to win “Dancing” was Dallas Cowboys great Emmitt Smith, who won Season 3 in 2006 with Cheryl Burke over Mario Lopez and Karina Smirnoff, who outscored Smith and Burke during the season. Smith and Burke reteamed for the all-star season and finished fourth.
Smith was the beginning of four straight athlete champs, with Kristi Yamaguchi being the fourth. Short track speed skater Apolo Anton Ohno,...

Expect an “entirely new dynamic” on “Dancing with the Stars” for its upcoming 26th season starting on April 30. The Hollywood Reporter revealed that the series is getting a new showrunner: Andrew Llinares, who produced both the UK and Us versions of “The X Factor,” in addition to “Britain’s Got Talent” and “Pop Idol,” so he knows a thing or two about reality competition shows.
Llinares told THR, “‘Dancing With the Stars’ is one of the largest scale shows on television, and I love that it provides a place for me, as a producer, to have big, ambitious ideas that I can then bring to life. It can be quite the undertaking to come in to a show that has been on the air for 25 seasons, but I’m excited about taking on the challenge and finding new ways to take the show forward.”

There's nothing sweeter than holding the title of ABC's first-ever DWTS champion! Since winning the mirrorball, Monaco continued to portray the role of Samantha McCall on the network's daytime drama, General Hospital. Monaco made her most recent return to the show during season 25, pairing up with her close pal, Cheryl Burke, and former NFL star Terrell Owens for Trio Night.

The 98 Degrees singer had so much fun learning how to dance on the show, that he joined the pros and troupe dancers on their DWTS tour after winning the title. At the time, he had no idea that his brother, Nick Lachey, would later compete on season 25 of the show with Peta Murgatroyd.

The chain-reaction crash began just over the 50-lap mark when Jay Howard hit the outside wall in a turn. He slowly slid down the track in front of Dixon, who clipped its back-end and sent his own car flying over Helio Castroneves. Dixon’s racing Honda did somersaults mid-air before crashing cockpit-first into the fence. His car was destroyed. Dixon and Howard were both checked out on the scene and released.
