Joe Buck is going from the broadcast booth to the ballroom.
The ESPN Monday Night Football announcer is bringing his football expertise to Dancing with the Stars next week as a guest judge.
Buck will join Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough and Bruno Tonioli at the judges table for the show’s Super Bowl Night.
Buck became a household name for NFL fans when he made his debut during the 1994-95 season, when he called a full slate of games for FOX Sports, according to ESPN.
He’s currently on the mic in his 29th season calling NFL games. In 2022, he was inducted into the Sports Broadcasting Hall of Fame. His career also includes calling 24 World Series, 22 MLB All-Star games, five of golf’s U.S. Opens and hosting his own shows.
DWTS will host its first-ever Super Bowl Night on Oct. 13, where the 11 remaining couples will perform routines set to iconic songs from past Super Bowl halftime shows.
The Super Bowl theme comes ahead of Super Bowl LXI, which will air on ABC and ESPN on Feb. 14, 2027, from SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.
