MAKING WAVES
LEN GOODMAN
Len Goodman will be taking a final bow after this season of “Dancing With the Stars.” Goodman, who has been head judge of the show since its premiere, announced during Monday’s Disney+ episode “with a touch of sadness” that the current season will be his last. “It has been a huge pleasure to be a part of such a wonderful show,” he said. “But I’ve decided I’d like to spend more time with my grandchildren and family back in Britain. I could not thank you enough, my ‘Dancing With the Stars’ family, it’s been such a wonderful experience for me.” The 78-year-old ballroom dancer’s announcement was greeted by a standing ovation from the audience and from fellow judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough and Bruno Tonioli.
