A fourth movie star has formally been confirmed for the Dancing With the Stars season 35 forged, and he’s already being warned not to let the show have an effect on him.
Guillermo Rodriguez, 55, who serves as Jimmy Kimmel’s onscreen sidekick on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Has been confirmed to be becoming a member of the ABC dance competitors collection this fall, with Kimmel himself saying the news during the Wednesday, June 17 episode of the late-night show.
Kimmel, who has joked that his show will soon be canceled amid an ongoing feud with President Donald Trump, was the one to announce the news.
Sharing the casting news with his viewers, Kimmel cracked jokes while teasing Guillermo about his new gig.
As he teased him, he also issued him a warning about one thing he wasn’t allowed to do as he danced and carried out in the ballroom.

“This September, Guillermo will become the first-ever parking lot security guard to dance with the stars,” Kimmel said. “Don’t lose a single adorable pound!”
Rodriguez quipped back that if he misplaced 5 kilos, he would “gain 10 right back,” and also expressed he was prepared to take on the problem of competing on the show.
“I’m very excited, I’m very happy,” he said, after becoming a member of Kimmel on stage while carrying blue costume pants and a shiny mild blue shirt with inexperienced, blue, and pink ruffled sleeves.

Rodriguez has been working on the comic’s show for 23 years, beginning off as a security guard before his chemistry with Kimmel, 58, blossomed into an on-air position as a sidekick and red-carpet interviewer.
He turns into the fourth movie star–and so far the oldest–to have been confirmed for the show’s upcoming season.
Savannah Bananas star Jackson Olson, 28, was confirmed in May during the ABC Disney upfronts.
A few weeks prior, during the Hulu Get Real event, Summer House star Ciara Miller, 30, and Love Island UK alum Maura Higgins, 35, both of whom have been also Traitors alums, have been also confirmed.

The full forged is predicted to be announced on September 2 on Good Morning America.
Prior to the reveal, a new dancer might be forged at the conclusion of Dancing With the Stars: The Next Pro, which begins airing in July and is hosted by Season 34 champ Robert Irwin.
When it comes to a potential season 35 winner, the beforehand announced forged members often wind up having the best pictures at the Mirrorball trophy, with most either making it to the finals or semifinals, as followers have longer to construct up pleasure over their casting.
Since Season 25, 4 celebrities who have been announced early have gone on to win the Mirrorball, with Adam Rippon, Kaitlyn Bristowe, Charli D’Amelio, and Robert Irwin all rising victorious on their seasons.

Additional finalists who completed in fourth place in their seasons have been Drew Scott, Charity Lawson, and Stephen Nedoroscik.
As for Semifinalists, Joe Amabile, Suni Lee, and Whitney Leavitt all discovered themselves eradicated during the last episode before their season’s finales.
Dancing With the Stars Season 35 will air starting in September on ABC and Disney+.
