The legendary ballroom judge was remembered by the cast and crew during Tuesday night’s Season 32 premiere of the dance competition series.
Green added that Goodman “always had a twinkle in his eye” and a “brilliant turn of phrase” that will certainly be missed by viewers.
“He was very fair and knew what he was talking about,” he continued. “The respect he brought made the show stand on its own two feet. The dancers always wanted to know what Len thought of their performance.” âWe wanted to make Len a permanent part of this show,â executive producer Conrad Green explained.“It is with great sadness to announce that Len Goodman has passed away peacefully, aged 78,” his former agent, Jackie Gill, confirmed in a statement at the time. “A much-loved husband, father and grandfather who will be sorely missed by family, friends and all who knew him.”
ABC and Disney+ echoed those sentiments in a separate joint statement, marveling over Goodman, who appeared as a judge on “DWTS” from 2005 until 2022.He announced he was retiring from âDWTSâ last fall.“Len Goodman will always be an icon in the world of ballroom dance, and we were lucky to have him as part of our ‘Dancing with the Stars’ family for 31 seasons,” the statement read.
“He was warm and caring, and always delivered genuine guidance. We are devastated by the news of his passing and our hearts are with his family during this very difficult time.”
