‘Dancing With the Stars’ Judges Through the Years: Len Goodman, Julianne Hough and More

Len Goodman, Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli have been staples on the Dancing With the Stars' judging table since day one — but they aren’t the only stars who’ve weighed in on the contestants' performances.

Since the show’s 2005 start the trio of judges have been joined by a variety of celebrities, some of which previously competed on DWTS, to help score each routine. Julianne Hough made DWTS history in 2014 when she became the first star to permanently join the judging panel bring the total from three scorecards to four.

Hough stepped away from the role in September 2017 after having been a dancer on the series and judge for many years. In 2023, Hough returned to the DWTS family to cohost alongside Alfonso Ribeiro. Julianne's brother, Derek Hough, joined the panel in 2020 to fill in for Goodman in 2020 and has become a staple since.
