On Saturday night Tyce Diorio won his first (and I am sure not his last) Emmy for a number he choreographed for Will and Jessica during season 4 of the hit show and now he is back for his 6th season of So You Think Can Dance that is airing tonight on Fox at 8p. I spoke to him at the Fox Eco Casino party and he told me what it is like to win the Emmy and how he comes up with the dances he choreographs for the show. What I really liked about him is that he was so humble about his really successful year and so appreciative of everything that has been happening to him and the recognition he is getting like the Emmy and all the positive responses to his breast cancer number!
When I asked him if he would be back at the Judges table he told me he would like to. Well today Fox and Nigel Lythgoe made a big announcement that Adam Shankman was hired to be a third fulltime Judge on the show when they get down to the Top 20 in October. So does that mean that SYTYCD will follow American Idol and go with a fourth Judge? According to Nigel Lythgoe, it will not be a weekly thing and they will have a fourth judge if they are a special guest and occasionally one of the choreographers from the show. He added that he likes the choreographers doing what they do best, but I have to say there are some like choreographers like Tyce that are really good when they critique the dancers. Granted there are some that are not. Now back to Adam, I so love that he will be a permanent Judge on the show because I really love the way he deals with the contestants!!! Smart move on that hire!!!
So check out who Tyce might be choreographing and Adam could be Judging tonight at 8p on Fox when the auditions continue. And make sure to watch another great episode from the refreshing and enjoyable Glee at 9p!!!
