Tomorrow night is Dedication Night on Dancing with the Stars, and the stars are dedicating their dances to someone who is very special to them. That person, if they are alive, will be dancing with them.
However, Tatyana Ali’s dance is dedicated to her Fresh Prince of Bel-Air dad, James Avery. Sadly, he passed away in 2013. Therefore, Ali and her partner, Jan Ravnik, need someone to fill his shoes. So they asked her TV brother and DWTS host Alfonso Ribeiro to join them, and he said yes. How could he say no, because he loves Avery as much as Ali?
Ali penned how much he meant to her when she announced who her dance is dedicated to.
My @dancingwiththestars dedication night dance is to James Avery. You know him as Phillip Banks or Uncle Phil or maybe Shredder from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Everything I believe about being an artist, was learned at his feet. I loved him very much and I know many of you did too.
I shared my thoughts and feelings with my sweet and absolutely brilliant partner @janravnik and he’s choreographed a spectacular Viennese Waltz. James loved Jazz music and Nancy Wilson was one of his favorites. We’ll be dancing to her song, “You don’t know how glad I am”. The lyrics are perfect for the way I feel. I am elated that I’ve made it far enough in this competition to be able to honor him.
James Avery was one of my greatest teachers. I hope you feel all the love we’re putting into this dance. I’ve felt your love week after week, and it’s keeping me strong during this process. I know if James was still here, he would have been in that audience cheering me on, encouraging me, telling me all the good things he sees in me. I love ya’ll. Wow! What an experience this is. My heart is so very full.🫶🏾
Get ready to bring the tissues because I don’t expect to see a dry eye in the house during their dance when the show goes live tomorrow at 8p on ABC.

Finally, Tom Bergeron takes one of Alfonso Ribeiro’s jobs! |

Alfonso Ribeiro is the host of America’s Funniest Videos and Dancing with the Stars. And Tom Bergeron had both of those jobs before the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air actor did.
Recently, Bergeron was offered a job he could not refuse. What is it? To replace Ribeiro as Carlton on Fresh Prince. And the worst part is that he will not have to do The Carlton.
If ever there was a dance that needed to be performed by a white man who can’t dance, it is The Carlton.
Since the contract has not been signed, maybe they can slip in that he has to do to the dance without him noticing.
On that note, when is someone going to give Bergeiro a show to host together???

It is a good thing that it’s Dancing with the Stars and not Singing with them |

Yesterday was Wicked night on Dancing with the Stars. Alfonso Ribeiro wanted to see if the dancers and the stars could hit that same high note that Cynthia Erivo hit when she sang Defying Gravity.
Just like they prepare for show night, they rehearsed for their big moment. How did they do? Let’s just say they would not be popular at karaoke night and it is a good thing that they are dancing not singing through life.
Which dancer gave you the least feeling of unadulterated loathing? Emma Slater, Jennifer Affleck, Jan Ravnik, Ezra Sosa, Alan Bernsten, Andy Richter, Val Chmerkovskiy, Witney Carson, Robert Irwin, Derek Hough, or Julianne Hough?

Dancing with the Stars had a Wicked opening dance! |

Tonight on Dancing with the Stars, it was Wicked night. The dancers performed to songs from the Musical Wicked, as the movie’s director, Jon M. Chu, judged them alongside Derek Hough, Bruno Tonioli, and Carrie Ann Inaba.
To start off the night, the pros danced to a medley of songs from the two-time Oscar-winning film. It was such a big production that Derek, Julianne Hough, and Alfonso Ribeiro joined in to help them recreate the choreography for Dancing Through Life and What Is This Feeling?, which went viral last year.
You can say they were all defying gravity with a performance that I would not be surprised brings home the Emmy in September.
When it comes to went home, once again Andy Richter and Emma Slater were too popular to go home. And I am OK with that! Sorry to Scott Hoying and Rylee Arnold, who are no longer vying for the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy.
Wicked: For Good dances its way into theaters on November 21st.
