Guillermo Rodriguez

Guillermo Rodriguez is a television personality, comedian, and entertainer best known as the long-time signature sidekick on the late-night program Jimmy Kimmel Live!. Over his career in late-night television, he established himself as a fan favorite through unscripted comedy segments and interactions with stars on award show red carpets.

In 2026, Rodriguez expanded his television footprint by joining the cast of Season 35 of Dancing With the Stars. He was paired with defending champion professional dancer Witney Carson. Before rehearsals began, Rodriguez expressed relief upon learning that Carson was competing while four months pregnant, hoping her milestone would lead to a less brutal training regimen.

Despite undergoing demanding three-hour daily cardio rehearsal sessions over five consecutive days, Rodriguez revealed that he surprisingly gained 10 pounds during prep. On the live premiere, the pair delivered a cha-cha routine set to Mr. Big Stuff, earning a bottom-scoreboard total of 10 out of 30 points from the judging panel.
