‘Dancing With the Stars’ Season 23 Pro Dancers, Judges & Hosts

Len Goodman

Sometimes Len Goodman sits out episodes of the show in order to adhere to his own busy schedule. This allows guest judges to step in, but there have not been recent reports of this just yet in the season. One contestant who is really hoping to impress Goodman is gymnast Laurie Hernandez, who told Access Hollywood she hopes to make him smile. Hernandez told Access Hollywood: I'm gonna make Len Goodman smile ... We are going to make Len Goodman smile. (Instagram)
