00:00
Last fall, we were all taken by surprise when our head judge Len Goodman announced his retirement.
00:06
Just a few months later, we were shocked and saddened by the news of his passing.
00:11
Since Len will always be at the heart of this show, our pros created a special performance in his honor.
00:18
First, here are their memories of Len.
00:23
Len was just charming and that's how I remember him even at 12 years old.
00:30
He's been in my life since the very beginning.
00:35
To me, he was just like Len, my mom's friend and dance teacher.
00:40
He was very well respected within the board community.
00:44
He was a big time judge when we were all starting to compete.
00:48
Dancing in front of Len was always very intimidating.
00:52
It's an honor that I can say Len judged me.
00:55
Len went from sort of the small ballroom world catapulted into television.
01:02
What a fabulous way to start this off.
01:07
I knew Len from when I was 10 years old, so this show felt like this is home, this is family.
01:14
I'm a cup of tea in a world of lattes.
01:17
Len would not be afraid to share his mind when it wasn't strictly ballroom.
01:22
He'll lead throughout the dance, so he's disappointed.
01:25
If you weren't doing it, he'd let you know.
01:27
Derek, you know there should be body contact throughout this dance.
01:31
Absolutely.
01:32
You were going to get the truth from Len Goodman.
01:34
Pete, hold my gaze. I want to see you in ballroom shoes. You can do it.
01:39
But he'd do it with this little twinkle and you took it, you know.
01:42
A little bit too much razzle dazzle.
01:46
Hawkshot is fine wine and caviar. This was beer and a pizza.
01:51
Bring it on. Come on, I can take it.
01:55
Getting criticized by Len was never easy, but getting that 10 made it all worth it.
02:01
Oh yeah, is that a 10?
02:04
10!
02:07
That literally took my breath away.
02:11
Yeah, it's got to be a 10.
02:14
He gave me that trademark smile.
02:16
10!
02:17
Kind of like, you did good, my boy.
02:19
I wish I had an 11.
02:21
10!
02:22
This will be my last season judging on Dancing with the Stars.
02:29
He had so much love for the show and for all of us.
02:33
It really showed through behind the scenes.
02:36
Come on, man. They're begging for it. They want you to take time. Come on.
02:38
Len was such a sweetheart. Off camera, just lovely jubbly, as he would say.
02:43
Hey!
02:44
And what he kept sacred and private was his love for his wife and his family.
02:50
I played golf with him. There was no cameras. It was just he and I and we could be ourselves.
02:56
I love you, buddy. I miss you.
02:59
I miss giving him hugs and seeing how he is, and I miss him a lot.
03:07
One of the things I'm most thankful for, being able to judge alongside Len, is that
03:14
I was able to spend a little bit more extra time with him.
03:18
Len, so why did you leave me here?
03:20
It's for a Mr. Carr.
03:22
To spend!
03:24
And for that, I'm really thankful.
03:27
I love you, Len.
03:29
Well, I love you too. It's been so much fun.
03:34
Yeah, hey! Come on, girl.
03:36
I love it!
03:39
You captured exactly what dance is about.
03:45
I loved it. I loved being a part of it, and I loved working with you.
03:50
Ballroom World will never be the same without Len.
03:53
Five and conscious.
03:57
Tonight, we'd like to tip our hat to Len one last time.
04:00
To a song we knew he loved.
04:04
A dance we hoped he would like.
04:06
No riffraff, no messing about.
04:09
Just a clean, simple waltz.
04:12
For Len, it will always be a 10.
