Next week on Dancing with the Stars 34, we are going to see a rather thrilling anniversary special — and also a guest judge!

After all, yesterday it was officially confirmed that former host Tom Bergeron is going to be coming back in the aforementioned capacity, marking his first appearance in the ballroom since his abrupt exit five years ago. We know at the time he was really critical of casting and the current producers but with Conrad Green back in the ballroom, everything is changing.

Speaking to TV Insider, Bergeron discussed his enthusiasm to come back:

… I’m anticipating that it’s going to be a wonderfully emotional, nostalgic night. In the audience will be a number of past champions and competitors. There’s a special dance challenge that is going to factor into the anniversary night that will evoke even more nostalgia. It’s going to be great. And I’ll tell you, it’s so much fun to watch my friends do the work. I don’t have to throw to commercials. I don’t have to worry about the timing. I’ll be respectful and sensitive of what Alfonso has to deal with, ’cause I’ve been there. But I’m just looking forward to being in an environment surrounded by people I really care about on live television, where there’s no second take. It’s my happy place.

Tom also noted that he will be sitting at the table next to Bruno, which means that there is going to be an insane amount of comedic potential from start to finish. How can you not be excited about where we are in the show here? Of course, we do recognize that there may be anger with the results given the fact that Andy Richter is still there…
