Description
The show pairs a celebrity with a professional ballroom dancer. The professional dancer is responsible for teaching the celebrity how to perform specific dances, which the pair perform live on the show each week. The dancers are scored by a panel of three professional dance judges. Additionally, viewers of the program may vote by phone, text message, or online methods. The team which receives the lowest total score (a combination of the judges' scores and viewer votes) each week is eliminated from the competition.
Dancing with the Stars is hosted by Emmy Award-winning game show host and TV personality, Tom Bergeron, and E! reporter Samantha Harris (who joined the show in season 2, replacing Lisa Canning). For the first three weeks of the competition of season 5, season 2 celebrity champion Drew Lachey co-hosted with Bergeron while Harris was on maternity leave.
The panel of judges consists of Len Goodman (head judge), Carrie Ann Inaba, and Bruno Tonioli; Goodman and Tonioli commute weekly between Hollywood and London to judge both the American and British versions of the show simultaneously. Harold Wheeler is the musical director. The announcements for the show's titles ("Live from Hollywood, This is "Dancing With the Stars") and introductions for the dances and judges' scores were recorded in the United Kingdom by Alan Dedicoat.
Dancing with the Stars is broadcast live from CBS Television City in Los Angeles in Studio 46.
The first three seasons were not aired in the UK. BBC One aired Season 4 on Sunday afternoons from Sunday, July 15, 2007. On September 28, 2007, UKTV Gold began airing Season 5.[1]
BBC America began to air Season 2 of the U.S. series on January 6, 2008, combining performance and results shows into 2-hour episodes.[2] However, it was reported that many viewers of BBC America were unhappy with the decision, mainly due to the fact that the channel was showing repeats of an American-produced program, despite the BBC's involvement with the show.[3]
