Whitney Carson

People think it's the most...

Shocking thing ever.

It's just hilarious.

People are so intrigued and fascinated by it.

But his real name is actually Kevin McAllister.

And since you guys have Christmas decor up, I feel like it's very fitting to tell you that.

I remember announcing Leo's name because we call him Leo, obviously, but his full name is Kevin Leo McAllister.

And people were like, oh, did you name him after the movie?

Yeah, no, I appreciate that because I think, you know, being a pro and seeing how much work we've really put into it.

I mean, this is our passion.

This is our livelihood.

Like, we work so extremely hard.

And I think Carson can attest to that because he sees me coming home every night just like...

you know it's it's a beast of a show like nick you obviously know but for the professionals like we never stop like we're constantly choreographing we're constantly thinking of music we're constantly thinking of strategy like we're always working and for those like four months like

Like I really don't see my family hardly at all.

And we are just putting everything that we have into it because we are so passionate and we're so competitive.

But yeah, no, I think it's being like 12 years of my life.

It hasn't gotten easier, which is so interesting.

Like you would think you'd get into a rhythm and it would just get easier and easier.

But it just it with each celebrity and each partner, it's like a different kind of heart.
