Guillermo Rodriguez is hanging up his ballroom shoes. The“Jimmy Kimmel Live!”sidekick and pro partner Witney Carson were eliminated in Week 5 of“Dancing With the Stars”on Oct. 13, right after their salsa to Bad Bunny’s“Tití Me Preguntó”earned 22 out of 40 on the show’s first“Super Bowl Night.”Not the score he wanted, but dancing to Bad Bunny for a national audience is a flex most of us will never know.
Jimmy Kimmel, meanwhile, delivered the reaction only he could. Speaking to Page Six at the LA Loves Alex’s Lemonade Stand charity event on Saturday, he said he was“very proud”of Guillermo — and that he’s never seen him work harder at anything, or ever seen him work hard at all. He also ruled out ever competing himself, with a flat“No, no, no. I would not.”Kimmel also shared that his 9-year-old son Billy is“doing great”after his congenital heart condition battle.
So the weekend had everything: a reality TV exit, a comedy roast from a late-night legend, and a genuinely heartfelt family update at a charity event. If you missed the salsa, go find it. It’s worth the watch. But first — would you ever compete on“DWTS,”or is watching from your couch the correct answer? Sound off in the comments.
