‘Dancing With the Stars’ Judges Booed for Roasting Kimmel’s Sidekick

ABC Audience members booed Dancing with the Stars judges after Guillermo Rodriguez, Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night sidekick, earned one of the lowest scores of all time during Tuesday’s Season 35 premiere.

Rodriguez, 55, and his partner, Witney Carson, 32, received a 10 out of 30 from the judges after their Cha-Cha dance to “Mr.

Big Stuff,” marking the second-lowest score in DWTS history after Master P and his partner, Ashly DelGrosso, earned an 8 out of 30 in 2006.

“Listen, Guillermo, listen,” judge Derek Hough said.

“Listen.

OK, my friend.

That was spicy.

That was spicy.

Listen, was the technique there? No.

Was the effort there? Absolutely.” A passionate Judge Bruno Toniolo said that “nobody will ever, ever forget this,” adding that one of Guillermo’s moves looked like a “crazy, sexy grasshopper.” “It’s got nothing to do with the cha-cha,” he said effusively.

“It will go viral!” Judge Carrie Ann Inaba spoke last.

Unlike Hough and Toniolo, her review of the dance skewed more positive.

“It was super entertaining, and every movement that you did was super clearly defined,” she said.

“Like, I could have taken pictures of you throughout that routine, and I knew what you were doing.
