‘Dancing With The Stars’ Season 35 Adds Jimmy Kimmel’s Right Hand Man Guillermo Rodriguez To Celebrity Cast

Dancing with the Stars has added another celebrity to its Season 35 roster.

Jimmy Kimmel Live star Guillermo Rodriguez will be sashaying his way across the ballroom floor this fall, Disney revealed on Friday night.

So far, he joins a cast that includes The Traitors and Love Island breakout Maura Higgins, Summer House favorite Ciara Miller and Savannah Bananas second baseman Jackson Olson. The full cast of celebrities and their pro dancing partners is expected to be unveiled on Good Morning America September 2.

Season 35 will air on ABC and simulcast on Disney+ sometime in the fall, though Disney hasn’t given an exact premiere date yet.

Dancing with the Stars exploded in popularity last season, raking in its largest audience in years driven by interest from younger viewers. In November, Season 34 posted the show’s highest-rated finale in nearly a decade. Last season also raked in a record number of fan votes. The finale alone recorded 72M votes with nearly half a billion across the entire season.

The show is produced in front of a live audience by BBC Studios.

Guillermo has been a Jimmy Kimmel Live staple for more than 23 years. Discovered in the parking lot where he worked as a security guard, Guillermo blossomed into a beloved and regular part of the show. He is featured every night alongside Jimmy and is frequently showcased in his own iconic segments on the Oscars red carpet, on cross-country road trips, and more. A resident of California and a U.S. citizen since 2005, Guillermo counts watching soccer, eating Mexican food, spending time with family and being involved with his son’s sports among his favorite things.
