SEASON FIVE. 'CAUSE MY FRIEND WAS ON SEASON -
ANYWAYS, BACK AT IT, IT WAS SEASON FIVE. AND IT -- IT'S JUST SO COOL TO

AND EVERY DANCER THAT HAS SUCH A HOUSEHOLD NAME, WAS BORN ON THIS SHOW, IF THAT MAKES SENSE
>> Jimmy: YEAH >> THEY WERE FIRST SEEN ON THIS SHOW, AND IT GIVES DANCERS SUCH
A PLATFORM AND SO, TO BE PART OF IT IN THIS WAY, JUST -- IT MEANS THE
WORLD FOR ME >> Jimmy: DO THEY -- DO THEY GET NERVOUS WHEN THEY GO OUT
AND DANCE IN FRONT OF YOU? AND THEY'RE LIKE, "OH, MY GOD --

JUDGES SIDE OF THE THINGS -- YOU KNOW, I HAD "DANCING WITH THE STARS" WHERE I WAS
COMPETING. I COMPETED ON "MASKED SINGER." I WAS "ULTIMATE DANCE
COMPETITION. I'VE HAD MY FAIR SHARE OF ELIMINATION SHOWS.
AND TO BE ON THIS SIDE OF IT, BE JUDGING, IT'S INTERESTING TO WATCH.
IT'S LIKE "THEY'RE NERVOUS, BUT I'M NOT, SO WHY ARE THEY?" BUT THEN I'M LIKE, "NO, OKAY,
NOW I --" >> Jimmy: "I'VE BEEN ON THE OTHER SIDE," YEAH WHERE YOU WERE NERVOUS, AND YEAH, AND
BEING JUDGED >> YEAH. THEY ARE SO TALENTED THOUGH,
IT'S INSANE. >> Jimmy: HOW DO YOU -- HOW ARE YOU AS A JUDGE
>> HOW DO YOU THINK I AM >> Jimmy: I WOULD SAY THAT YOU'RE -- I WOULD SAY THAT
YOU'RE -- YOU GIVE POSITIVE -- I THINK YOU'RE ALWAYS POSITIVE WHEN I'M AROUND YOU, SO I WOULD
SAY YOU PROBABLY GIVE POSITIVE FEEDBACK I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW IF I COULD
DO IT, BECAUSE I WOULD BE LIKE - "I DON'T KNOW.
I WOULD BE LIKE, "I DON'T -- PASS." >> I'LL ADMIT I'M --
[ LIGHT LAUGHTER ] >> Jimmy: "GO TALK TO SOMEONE ELSE
TALK TO ANOTHER JUDGE. >> "NEXT, NEXT." >> Jimmy: YEAH, YEAH, I CAN'T
DO IT. >> I WILL ADMIT, I AM THE HONEST JUDGE
SO, IF SOMETHING IS GREAT, I CAN'T HOLD BACK, I WILL TELL YOU.
>> Jimmy: YEP. >> IF SOMETHING IS NOT, I WILL ALSO NOT HOLD BACK, AND I WILL
TELL YOU SO IT CAN BE A PROBLEM SOMETIMES.
BUT I JUST -- I WANT THE PEOPLE WHO ARE GOOD TO KNOW THAT I AM DEAD SERIOUS WHEN THEY ARE
GOOD, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN I DON'T JUST WANT TO TELL EVERYONE THAT THEY'RE GREAT,
IF - >> Jimmy: YEAH, OF COURSE. >> -- YOU KNOW, THEY'RE NOT.

YOU HAVE SOMETHING, IF YOU WANT TO DO THIS." >> EXACTLY
EXACTLY, THAT'S WHAT WE TELL PEOPLE WE SAY, "GO, AND COME BACK,
KEEP WORKING." BECAUSE EVERYBODY WHO GETS TO THIS POINT IS INCREDIBLE
>> Jimmy: YEAH, AND IF YOU HEAR SOMETHING FROM JOJO SIWA, TO -- GIVE YOU EVEN ANY ADVICE, OR
ANY HELP, YOU'LL NEVER FORGET THAT AS LONG AS YOU LIVE >> YES
>> Jimmy: YOU'LL GO, "YEAH, SHE TOLD ME TO DO THAT, AND I'M GOING TO DO THAT."
