When it comes to making money, Vinny Guadagnino revealed he’s doing quite well with Jersey Shore and its related spin-offs.
The 36-year-old has been an Og cast member since the original show debuted on MTV in 2009.
He’s currently part of the Jersey Shore: Family Vacation Season 7 cast, where he often makes inappropriate jokes to castmates or brings out his humor during awkward moments.
He’s appeared on several shows besides the Jersey Shore variety, including competing one season as a contestant on Dancing with the Stars.
However, he recently revealed that being on the dance competition show, as long as he did, wasn’t worth it, at least in terms of the money.
He even said that he “couldn’t wait to f***ing go” from the DWTS grind so he could make fun of a castmate.

“Dancing with the Stars” premiered in 2005 with a focus on teaching celebrities some fancy footwork. But along the way the professional dancers who teach and partner with those celebrity amateurs became stars in their own right. Many of them returned to the show year after year, and over a dozen have won the coveted Mirror Ball Trophy over the course of the series. Scroll down to see every single “DWTS” pro champion, listed by their number of victories.
It’s fitting that the “DWTS” pros have become fan-favorites because they’re not just dancers. They’re also trainers, choreographers and storytellers, and their chemistry with the stars fuels the show’s best routines, so they’re truly the lifeblood of the competition, especially when they bring talent and charisma out of unexpected places, from child stars to race car drivers to one male model, Nyle Dimarco, who won the Mirror...

Heading into Dancing With the Stars’ season finale, Xochitl Gomez and Val Chmerkovskiy were the clear favorites among TVLine readers — not only for who would win Season 32, but who should win Season 32.
Xochitl was among a record five finalists competing on Tuesday’s season ender, alongside Ariana Madix, Jason Mraz, Alyson Hannigan and Charity Lawson. But before the Len Goodman Mirrorball trophy could go to any of those hopefuls, Dancing had a three-hour (!) broadcast in store for us, packed with two closing routines from each couple, plus a whooole lotta filler.

The connection between "The Cosby Show" and "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" is easy to make. Both sitcoms were incredibly important for Black representation in American popular culture. In 1984 "The Cosby Show" broke barriers by presenting an upper-middle-class African American family to television audiences like never before. Six years later, "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" upped the ante with a wealthy Black family, living in the affluent Los Angeles neighborhood of Bel Air, taking in their troubled nephew from West Philadelphia. Traditionally, that story would be a white savior narrative (think "Diff'rent Strokes").
So, it's fair to say that "The Cosby Show" paved the way for "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air." But the connection between "The Cosby Show" spin-off "A Different World" and "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" has a more intricate connection, especially for actor Alfonso Ribeiro. For the actor, joining one show would mean missing out on the other.

Valentin Chmerkovskiy and celebrity partner Gabby Windey (The Bachelorette) are hours away from taking part in the Dancing With the Stars Season 31 final along with three other talented couples. The Ukrainian-born dance has won the coveted mirror ball trophy twice before — with actress Rumer Willis in Season 20 and Olympic medal-winning gymnast Laurie Hernandez in Season 23 — so there’s no doubt that Chmerkovskiy definitely has the talent to score a hattrick. Windey is not only a talented performer but she has also brings with her a legion of #BachelorNation friends. Still, this is one season where there’s no clear frontrunner. The couples that Chmerkovskiy and Windey are competing for mirror ball glory are Wayne Brady (Let’s Make a Deal) and Witney Carson, drag queen Shangela and Gleb Savchenko, and Charli D’Amelio (The D’Amelio Show) and Mark Ballas.

Reality TV history is on the line as two celebrities look to become the first entertainers to win both “Dancing With the Stars” and “The Masked Singer.” It’s certainly a possibility for Wayne Brady, a Season 31 finalist on “DWTS” along with his partner Witney Carson. The “Let’s Make a Deal” host won Season 2 of “The Masked Singer” disguised as Fox in 2019. He will have to defeat Charli D’Amelio, Shangela and Gabby Windey to bookend his Golden Mask with a Mirrorball Trophy.

Unlike the past few installments, “Dancing with the Stars” Season 31 has gone chalk. The three frontrunners in Week 1 — Wayne Brady, Charli D’Amelio and Gabby Windey — remained that way throughout as they and their respective partners were the only couples to top the leaderboard this season. There was no shocking elimination, even with two double eliminations without a judges’ save, and all three made the final, alongside Shangela, a fan favorite who has improved throughout the past nine weeks. The four will hit the dance floor two more times on Monday’s finale — for a redemption routine and the make-or-break freestyle — before a Mirrorball champ is crowned. Will the finale go according to book too? In which case, congrats, Charli? But the odds-on favorite has not won the past two seasons.
Let’s take a closer look at the final four.

After two consecutive weeks of double eliminations, it’s time to crown the champion of “Dancing with the Stars” Season 31.
But before we get to that, the final four will perform two routines on Monday’s finale: a redemption dance of a style they had done earlier in the season chosen by a judge and the highly anticipated freestyle. There won’t be too much variety in the redemption round as there will be two quicksteps.
Elsewhere in the two-hour extravaganza, expect a lot of performances, including from all the previously eliminated couples. Yes, that includes Selma Blair and Sasha Farber, who will perform a contemporary routine while Jordin Sparks sings “No Air” live. Derek Hough will also hit the hardwood again with his fiancée Hayley Erbert to perform to “Chasing Cars” by Tommee Profitt and Fleurie.

Baby on board! “Dancing With the Stars” pro Witney Carson is dancing for two.
The celebrated dancer shared the news with fans during Monday’s semifinals, following her incredible routine with partner Wayne Brady.
The pair spoke with Et’s Denny Directo after the episode, and reflected on Carson’s exciting on-air revelation.
“It felt amazing!” Carson shared. “I mean, I grew up on this show, I started when I was 18. So the fact that, you know, I got married [while] on this show, I’ve announced that I’m having a kid on the show, it’s just like a full circle moment!”

Len Goodman has announced his departure from Dancing with the Stars after 17 years on the judging panel.
The British professional ballroom dancer and competition judge first joined the panel in its first season in 2005 and has served as head judge ever since.
For many years, Goodman also sat as head judge on the panel of the British original, Strictly Come Dancing, from its first year in 2004 until 2017.
On Monday night’s (14 November) edition of Dancing with the Stars, host Tyra Banks gave Goodman the floor to make a speech at the midpoint of the show.
“Whilst we all are getting excited and looking forward so much to the finale next week, it would also be with a touch of sadness as this will be my last season judging on Dancing with the Stars,” he began his statement, as surprised audience members gasped in the background.

After weeks of fierce competition, we now know which four couples will perform in the Dancing With the Stars Season 31 finale. Six couples competed in the Dancing With the Stars semifinals on November 14 on Disney+, each pair performing two themeless numbers for the judges and hosts Tyra Banks and Alfonso Ribeiro. And between Rounds 1 and 2, head judge Len Goodman announced his retirement. Next week’s finale will be the ballroom dance legend’s last episode after being on every season since 2005. Another surprise announcement: Witney Carson is expecting baby No. 2! Sans theme, the episode was more like a traditional ballroom dance competition. The dancers had to perform a ballroom dance and a Latin number, making the highest possible score an 80. So close to the finals, there’s no room for mistakes. The judges were extra picky in tonight’s critiques because of that, resulting in some of the season-long contenders...

It’s semi-finals night on Dancing With The Stars! We have to wonder how many people have been watching along with us during the 31st season. Disney+ has yet to release any viewership numbers for the former ABC show, which isn’t an encouraging sign. And that’s too bad: DWTS under Executive Producer Conrad Green has once again found its glory, from inspirational participants like Selma Blair and Daniel Durant, to the refreshing way it has put the spotlight back on ballroom dancing.
Case in point: throughout the season, the judges have given us “master classes” on how to perform a perfect genre of ballroom dance. Monday, for example, featured Pasha Pashkov and Daniella Karagach executing a flawless Viennese waltz while Derek Hough and Len Goodman provided insightful commentary. So that’s why we love this show so much! Thanks for the much-needed reminder, Mr. Green.

The “Dancing with the Stars” semifinal means double the routines and yet another double elimination. That’s what happens when you have a 16-person cast and only 10 weeks of competition.
The remaining six couples will tackle two individual dances on the first theme-less night of the season — get ready for lots of paso dobles and Viennese waltzes — before two couples get axed for the second consecutive week. That will send four couples to the finale on Nov. 21. “Dancing” has had four-team finales every season since the 27th installment in 2018.
See the full lineup below:
Wayne Brady and Witney Carson: paso doble (“Beggin’” by Måneskin); Viennese waltz (“It’s A Man’s Man’s Man’s World” by James Brown)
Charli D’Amelio and Mark Ballas: Viennese waltz (“Glimpse of Us” by Joji); paso doble (“Espana Cani” by Pascual Marquina)
Trevor Donovan and Emma Slater: cha-cha (“Satisfied” by Galantis feat.

(Spoiler Alert: This article reveals which two teams were sent home on Monday, Nov. 7)
“This past weekend, we lost Aaron Carter,” cohost Tyra Banks said at the top of Monday’s night show, remembering the pop star and Season 9 contestant who was found dead on Saturday at age 34. “The team here at ‘Dancing With the Stars’ recalls the energy and the fun that he brought to his show, to this ballroom and we offer our sincere condolences to his family.”
The eight remaining couples danced to hits from the ’90s on Monday, with live performances from Salt-n-Pepa, En Vogue, Vanilla Ice, and Kid ‘N Play.
After their individual dances, there was a three-way tie at the top of the leaderboard between Charli D’Amelio, Gabby Windey and Wayne Brady, while a bonus Relay Dance round left only Charli and Wayne tied for first.
Vinny Guadagnino and Koko Iwasaki were the second couple sent home on Nov.
