00:00Back. Season 33. How does it feel to be back?
00:03It feels great. It's exciting. I think this year's cast is going to be fantastic.
00:08They're just totally into it and having a great time.
00:11A little bit of nerves, but they're enjoying it. I think this is going to be an epic season.
00:17For sure. How would you describe this season's cast?
00:20Diverse. A lot of diversity in this cast, right?
00:25Which is great, right? That's what you want.
00:27You want someone that you're going to fall in love with, that you want to be with,
00:30that you want to hang out with, that you want to dance with.
00:33And so we've got a great diverse cast, and I think they're going to be good.
00:38They're going to be good.
00:40Anyone that you think would be an underdog that could take it all the way?
00:44An underdog? Well, obviously Eric Roberts. He's over here.
00:48He could be an underdog, right?
00:50Incredible actor. He's good. He's wanted to do the show from the first season on.
00:55So I feel like he's going to bring a little bit of that Roberts energy to the show.
01:01We've got a superstar here.
01:03You were a competitor at one point as well. You went on to win the whole thing.
01:07So what advice, if any, did you give to these contestants?
01:10The advice that I've been giving them, I gave to the competitors last season,
01:14ultimately be open with your heart.
01:17Let the audience get to know you. Let the audience get to see who you are,
01:20your love and passion for the show.
01:23If they get to see that and feel that, I do believe that they'll go a long way.
01:28Sure. And finally, I know you're back as co-hosts with Julianne Hough.
01:31The audience fell in love with you guys last season.
01:34How do you hope to build off of that chemistry this season?
01:36Well, I just think our chemistry has gotten even that much better.
01:38We really care for each other. We support each other.
01:41We've got each other's back 100%.
01:44So for me, it's really that.
01:46I think we're even going to be better this year because we've spent a whole year hanging out
01:49and getting to know each other better. So it's going to be pretty cool.
