New ‘Dancing With the Stars’ Cast Announced
Season 19 of Dancing With the Stars starts up in less than two weeks and the new cast has finally been announced!
It's the typical group of 'Who's that?', 'Why do I know that name?', and 'Oh my God, that person is still alive??' that the show has come to be known for.
Here's who made the cut!
- Alfonso Ribeiro (Carlton on 'The Fresh Prince of Bel_Air') with Witney Carson
- Sadie Robertson (granddaughter of 'Duck Dynasty' patriarch Phil Robertson) with Mark Ballas
- Michael Waltrip (NASCAR driver/owner/commentator) and Emma Slater
- Lolo Jones (Olympic track and field and bobsled athlete) and Keo Motsepe
- Jonathan Bennett (Aaron Samuels from 'Mean Girls') and Allison Holker
- Lea Thompson (actress, 'Back to the Future', 'Caroline and the City') and Artem Chigvintsev
- Antonio Sabato Jr. (model, actor, 'General Hospital') and Cheryl Burke
- Randy Couture (MMA fighter) and Karina Smirnoff
- Janel Parrish (singer-songwriter, Mona on 'Pretty Little Liars') and Val Chmerkovskiy
- Tommy Chong (actor, stoner legend) and Peta Murgatroyd
- Betsey Johnson (fashion designer) and Tony Dovolani
- Bethany Mota (YouTube star) and Derek Hough
- Tavis Smiley (talk show host and political commentator) and Sharna Burgess
Some other changes to the show? Maks is completely gone, while Julianne Hough officially returns as a fourth judge.
Let's be honest, I just want to know how long into the season I will have to wait to see this:
The new season premieres on Monday, September 15th on ABC. The first elimination will take place on the results show on Tuesday, September 16th.
