Transcript

00:00The conversation's gotten tough so...

00:02I hope this is being recorded.

00:03Yeah, we're recording.

00:04Please tell me this is being recorded.

00:05We're on.

00:10Thank you so much for watching.

00:11Right now we're with Derek Hough, Nioh, and Jenna Dewan.

00:15How are you guys?

00:16And me.

00:17And Marika.

00:18How are you guys? How's it going?

00:19We're really good.

00:20Phenomenal. Great.

00:21Excited.

00:22Amazing.

00:23How has it been being back, reunited, and shooting so far?

00:28Reunited and it feels so good.

00:31I don't know that song.

00:32But I'll snap.

00:33Really?

00:34You really don't know that song?

00:35I...

00:36You don't know that song?

00:37Guys, I don't know.

00:38How do I know a song you don't know?

00:39This is weird.

00:40Coming together has been amazing.

00:41Season one was a blast.

00:42It was so much fun.

00:43It was such a great show.

00:44So proud of it.

00:45But season two, holy cow, man.

00:47The production, the stage, the lighting, the...

00:50Just the energy just stepped up a whole other gear.

00:53It's really, really exciting.

00:55What were the conversations going into season two?

00:57How was season two, I guess, different than season one?

01:00Is it that much different?

01:01I think we were all feeling...

01:02We caught, you know, it was like lightning in a bottle with season one.

01:05Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:06You know, we had a great...

01:07We had great chemistry, people a part of it.

01:09We had incredible talent and we had great ratings.

01:11Yeah.

01:12So it's like, oh, how do we recreate that and do that better for season two?

01:14So I think we all had a little bit of...

01:16Anxiety?

01:17Anxiety, nervousness about that.

01:18But then, you know, obviously you start hearing things before you start filming.

01:21And then the very first day of filming, we saw some of the acts and we just were like,

01:24psst, alright, done, great.

01:25Yeah.

01:26We did it.

01:27You know, we found it.

01:28And it just looked good too.

01:29Like just the subtle changes with the lighting and just the set.

01:32Stage.

01:33Everything just looked, it just popped more.

01:35Yeah.

01:36And it's just, it's awesome.

01:37And as far as, we were just more relaxed and just unleashed.

01:40We just had a blast, so...

01:41Yeah.

01:42I can't wait for you to see it.

01:43Season one was, okay, let's figure out, let's figure this out.

01:45Yeah.

01:46Let's figure out what works, what doesn't.

01:47Season two was like, ah, we got this.

01:49Come on.

01:50Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:51Let's just make it happen.

01:52We all kind of fell into place a little bit.

01:53You know, season one, it was like, okay, we're filming a show and we are all kind of

01:57doing things we hadn't really done before.

01:59Yeah, yeah.

02:00You know, I hadn't hosted.

02:01This is not hosting yet.

02:02We just hadn't judged.

02:03So it was...

02:04How are you as a host in season two now?

02:05I think...

02:06Round two.

02:07I think I'm better.

02:08We'll find out.

02:09I will say I love doing, I obviously love season one, but it was still so much new,

02:14newness to me.

02:15Season two felt, one, we had more time.

02:18I mean, we had more hours in season two, so I had a lot more time to work with the dancers,

02:23learn their journeys, a lot more stage time.

02:26It just felt better.

02:28Yeah.

02:29How has it been for you at the judges table?

02:30Yeah, I mean...

02:31Hatred.

02:32Hatred.

02:33I just can't stand this fellow.

02:34We don't really like each other.

02:35We try not to let it show so much.

02:36He's wearing his hats again.

02:38Yeah, we're back on that.

02:39I did it to cover my face.

02:41You don't have to look at him, man.

02:42That's why.

02:43It's a pain in the butt.

02:44You know what?

02:45The cool thing about this is when you...

02:47And I think I can speak for everybody.

02:48You're thrown into a situation with people that you kind of know or maybe don't know,

02:52and it's always that, oh God, what is this about to be?

02:55Who am I going to hate?

02:56Because sometimes it doesn't work.

02:57Sometimes it doesn't work.

02:58But this was from day word go.

03:01We were just linked.

03:03There was no weird getting to know you phase.

03:05It happened.

03:06We skipped all of that and it just went into...

03:07That's so nice.

03:08Hey, it'll only be 20 bucks.

03:09Cool, thank you.

03:10Yeah, yeah, thanks man.

03:11Jennifer said something to me when I first started.

03:13The best advice ever.

03:14She said, reality TV, you can't hide who you are.

03:18Your essence and who you are really comes out.

03:21It's going to shine through.

03:22You do a drama.

03:23I'm used to acting.

03:24It's like you're playing something.

03:25Even though it's your essence, you're playing something.

03:27There's manipulation and editing.

03:28Reality is what you see is what you get.

03:30So we really lucked out that we all like each other.

03:33Yeah.

03:34And hang out.

03:35Now in season one, you guys didn't all dance together.

03:36But I just talked to Jennifer and she said there's a little bit of dancing with all of you.

03:39There is.

03:40There's some dancing.

03:41What can you tease?

03:42There's dancing and it's...

03:44I had a moment, honestly.

03:45I've been a part of some really amazing dance productions and some shows and performances.

03:50And I had a moment where I was sitting there and seeing everybody dance and do their thing and dancing full out.

03:55And I was like, this is special.

03:57This is really cool.

03:58No.

03:59This feels like...

04:01I don't know.

04:02It just feels special.

04:03You don't always get that feeling.

04:04So I was really excited.

04:05And I'm really excited to share it with the audience and see everybody just going full out.

04:09It was fun.

04:10I had a tiger in mine.

04:11Oh.

04:12What did you say?

04:13I had a tiger.

04:14He did.

04:15He rode it.

04:16He saddled it up and rode it in.

04:17A lot to look forward to for season two.

04:19No animals were harmed in that video.

04:20Is America voting for season two or is that staying the same?

04:23Okay.

04:24Not yet.

04:25The weight is still on our shoulders.

04:26Yeah.

04:27We are changing lives and crushing dreams.

04:28I'm not going to lie.

04:29I'm not going to lie.

04:30I'm throwing it out there though.

04:31I keep like, hey.

04:32Who should I pick?

04:33No, no, no.

04:34But in the future, you know what I mean?

04:36I'm like, wouldn't be opposed to it though.

04:38Yeah.

04:39Because it takes a little bit of the edge off us.

04:40Because it gets daunting.

04:41Yeah.

04:42It gets daunting.

04:43Thank God you guys have the scorecards.

04:44Because then you can really refer back to those iPads and have the specificity of what they're judging.

04:50They're not just-

04:51It's very helpful.

04:52Very thorough.

04:53It makes a difficult situation just a little easier.

04:55Yeah.

04:56Definitely.

04:57I'm going to do a little rapid round of questions.

04:58I love this.

04:59Are you ready?

05:00Let's go.

05:01Are you ready to dance?

05:02I love this so much.

05:03I'm going to stretch out my florals.

05:04I'm going to try to get my dancing shoes on.

05:05I thought we agreed that you were going to stay in your seat.

05:07The problem is if I bend my knees, they ride up, and then I can't get them back down.

05:10I won a dance competition, by the way, this past weekend.

05:12Wait, hold on.

05:13Did you?

05:14At a party.

05:15Yeah.

05:16Nice.

05:17It was just, I don't want to get too much into it, but I just started dancing and I won 200 bucks.

05:21Really?

05:22Oh, what?

05:23Hey.

05:24And I fell.

05:25I think they gave it to me because I fell.

05:26Dude, listen, if you come on a dance, you could win a million dollars.

05:28Yeah, I could.

05:29I should go on a dance.

05:30Well, let's start.

05:31He's like, let's move on.

05:32He's an idiot.

05:33Let's go.

05:34Shouldn't have brought it up.

05:35What song did you hear for the first time on World of Dance?

05:38Like, what song did the show introduce you to?

05:40Honestly, I think it was a Jennifer Lopez song.

05:42Okay.

05:43I think it was, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da.

05:47Tonight we're going to be on the floor.

05:50What about you?

05:51It was that pink record.

05:53What about us?

05:55What about all of them?

05:57I hadn't heard that yet.

05:59And I'm a huge fan of Pink.

06:00I love the fact that Pink can get on a trapeze and sing on key, whereas there are female artists

06:05who can't stand in one place and sing on key.

06:07And she can sing her.

06:08Also, she's just an awesome human being.

06:10Yeah, she's dope.

06:11Shout out to Pink.

06:12Pink for president.

06:13I love you, Pink.

06:14I also like Blue, too.

06:15Hold on.

06:16First song that we were introduced to?

06:17Or the first song we heard?

06:18I guess that an act maybe was performing to that you were introduced to.

06:21There was a...

06:22Oh, that we were introduced to.

06:23That you heard for the first time on the show.

06:24Yeah, yeah, yeah.

06:25Oh my god.

06:26I felt like you, but then I realized...

06:27She was like...

06:28Really?

06:29You didn't hear that song until you got here?

06:30Who was the couple?

06:31Remember the couple?

06:32Sorry, I thought you meant that it was the first song you heard when we were there.

06:35It's okay, Derek.

06:36I'm sorry.

06:37I'll tell you what I did here that I really liked was a rendition of...

06:41Ready or not, here I come.

06:43Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

06:44But it was a remix.

06:45It was like...

06:49Who was it?

06:50Eva Aigo.

06:51No, I'm talking...

06:52Who did it?

06:53Who was the...

06:54Who was the artist that made it?

06:55Oh, I don't know.

06:56But it was really cool rendition.

06:57It's not rapid fire.

06:58Those are my favorite.

06:59Those are my favorite things, by the way.

07:00Are like songs you know, but they're remixed and they're totally different.

07:03And you're like, I love that.

07:04I want that in my tour.

07:05Yeah.

07:06Yeah.

07:07Michael Domeski did a version of Survivor, like the Destiny's Child Survivor that was

07:13different and cool.

07:14That was neat.

07:15Very, very cool.

07:16Which singers, backup dancers right now are blowing your mind?

07:19Like whose dancers?

07:20Beyonce.

07:21Definitely Beyonce.

07:22I'll speak for the rest of the world and say Beyonce, you're still blowing my mind.

07:25Yeah.

07:26Hands down.

07:27She's one of the best of our generation.

07:29Who's Beyonce?

07:30Hands down.

07:31She works in production.

07:32So...

07:33She's here.

07:34Yeah, definitely Beyonce.

07:35I'm a fan of some of the newer generation that's coming out.

07:38You know, there's a lot of...

07:39There's a lot of...

07:40You know, your Bebe Rexes.

07:41Yeah.

07:42I love Bebe.

07:43I always miss her name up.

07:44Camilla.

07:45I'm really into Camilla Cabello.

07:46Camilla Cabello.

07:47Yeah, let me get her name right because her fans tore me a new one because I called her

07:50Camilla Cabello and they didn't like that.

07:52Camilla Cabello.

07:53I know.

07:54Camilla Cabello.

07:55I got it, guys.

07:56Who's backup dancer?

07:57Dua Lipa.

07:58Dua Lipa.

07:59Dua Lipa.

08:00I always screw her name up, but I love her.

08:02She's dope.

08:03Last few questions.

08:04What is your favorite song to listen and dance to right now?

08:07I'm really...

08:09I'm into the new Drake song right now.

08:11I can't get enough of that.

08:12And also Dua Lipa.

08:14I love her entire album.

08:16I like the one kiss, you know.

08:19One kiss is on two takes.

08:21I'm going to stop singing because this is literally...

08:24I'm sorry world that I'm doing this to you.

08:26We just had a music video.

08:27We just had a music video.

08:28Please.

08:29I like...

08:30I don't even know what I like right now, but one song that's...

08:33The Post Malone song.

08:34Better now, actually.

08:35Mmm!

08:36I like song two.

08:37You think I'm better now?

08:38Better now?

08:39Another love song?

08:40Fair joke.

08:41It's kind of grooving.

08:42That's not a bad one.

08:43Neo's another love...

08:44I made a video of it and put it on Instagram just because I like the song so much.

08:47That's so good.

08:48Quality work.

08:49I did see that.

08:50I didn't see that.

08:51Yeah.

08:52I mean, yeah.

08:53I got some new music out there right now that is really all I'm listening to because...

08:55That's good.

08:56I've been finishing an album for the last two years, so...

08:58I'm ready.

08:59I haven't been listening to very much stuff that wasn't my own.

09:02That's good.

09:05Now, last question.
