Joe Buck to Guest Judge 'Dancing with the Stars' for Super Bowl Night
On Thursday, Good Morning America announced that sportscaster Joe Buck will join the Dancing With the Stars judging panel for the series' first-ever "Super Bowl Night" on Tuesday, October 13.
Disney and ESPN, which hold the broadcasting rights to Super Bowl LXI, organized the themed episode to honor the "music, spectacle and unforgettable moments of the big game."
The 57-year-old broadcaster, currently in his 29th season calling NFL games, will join regular judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough, and Bruno Tonioli to evaluate the 11 remaining couples.
Following the October 6 elimination of Ciara Miller and Brandon Armstrong, contestants will perform routines to iconic halftime show songs, including hits by Prince and Beyonce.
The actual Super Bowl LXI is scheduled for February 14, 2027, at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, making this themed episode a precursor to the broadcast.
