What does Andy do to prepare before hosting the Viral Night podcast?
Hey, everybody. Welcome to a day in the life of me, Andy, as I get ready to host the podcast for Viral Night. First, it's always important to hydrate. It's very important for me to warm up, so I'm ready for anything the show can throw at me. And laughing. And, oh, sad. And read and look. And now time for a little skin care. Oh, that feels so good. Next, it's time to study up and prepare for my interviews. Then it's off to hair and makeup to get my glam on. And now it's time to start the show. Why isn't this working? How did they do that?
Hello, everybody. Welcome to the Dancing with the Stars official podcast sponsored by Paris Baguette. I'm your host, Andy Richter. We have an amazing show for you today. Ciara and Brandon are dropping by. Plus, we'll have the first sit-down interview with tonight's eliminated couple, Jada and Alan. And as always, we'll be revealing all the songs and styles for next week. But first, we're breaking down tonight's episode with one of everyone's favorite couples from season 17, Snooki and Sasha.
We're back!
All
right.
Yes. How was it being out there? Oh
my God. Have I come back ever since? I'm trying to figure out if I came once. I don't know. Anyway, Dancing with the Stars was literally one of the best things that I've ever done besides WrestleMania. Those top two were insane for me.
Very similar.
Yeah, so coming back here, seeing Sasha and everybody, and even the makeup crew and everyone, I just feel like it's always a family.
Absolutely.
I love it here.
And also, at WrestleMania, they probably didn't have a
mirrored
panther.
This
is, I'm trying to be a super villain, and this is
on the way there. I love
it. It's so cute. Yeah, yeah. No, we like to feature the different things the art department does.
No, great
set. We need a spinning chair for you. You know, like you turn around, you spin. Absolutely. Hello. Yes. The dramatics. Oh, yeah. There it is.
When you were down there, did you get a little FOMO? Did you want
to get back out there? No.
No.
No. Yeah,
you actually asked me, and I said the same, like, no.
No, you know.
No, that's a lot of work.
It was like good in the moment and you were so excited and everything, but once you get voted off, it's like, oh man, like that sucks so much. But like a relief a little bit, like, okay, I can root on my other friends just because it's hard. It's not easy.
All right, let's talk about tonight. You're here to give your expert opinion. Yes. Three-way tie at the top. How about that?
Not surprised.
The scores were so close today, right? Yeah.
How do Snooki and Sasha reflect on their experience returning to the ballroom?
And, you know, Ezra and Danielle's routine. Oh my God, stunning. If there was a dark horse... I would never would have been, like, when I saw the cast announcement, I never would have been like, okay, Ezra and, like, I have them in the finals, maybe even to win, like, the things that Ezra was doing with the rotation of, you know, off his body, off his hips, and there's a step that he did where, like, it goes into a box step, and he did this, like, very cha-cha step, very stylized, and it was just amazing. And the swiveling, the pushing off feet to feet, like, How is that possible? I didn't see a lot of that in other celebs. Cha-Cha, you know, is a hard dance. And he just
pulled it off. And also, he's got such a beautiful personality. He's just such a great person.
He commands the floor.
Yeah.
Like, I remember watching everyone, and the show hasn't started yet, and everyone was practicing. You know that time before the show, there's 15 minutes, everyone's like, let's go through the routine, let's go
through the
routines. And then I look over and Danny and Ezra are sitting right next to me, just chilling, like, containing the energy. And that's the confidence that, you know, you have to have before it just goes, bam, onto the dance floor. And he did that.
And she's a beast.
Now, Jenna and Val kicked off the night with their jive. Oof. Did you dress for the occasion you're wearing thereof?
Wait, so this is so weird, because I've been obsessed with Jenna since forever. I just thought she was always stunning and beautiful, loved her acting.
