00:12She's a grown-up, I'm a child. I feel great that I survived.
00:17I do too.
00:19And this week was Oscars night. I mean, you're an actor, like, do you feel like you have a leg up in the competition
00:26because you're like, I've been in movies before, I can do this?
00:31I am an actor. I am not an answerer. I had no leg up.
00:36And what was going through your mind? I mean, we had the double elimination tonight.
00:40What were you thinking, like, while you were waiting for your name to be called?
00:43You know the answer.
00:45We had fully prepared to be eliminated.
00:47Fully prepared. I accepted it. I was out.
00:49Yes, being at the bottom of the leaderboard, first elimination, and double elimination,
00:53we had no idea what the votes were going to be like.
00:55And really, the Dancing with the Stars fans, they pulled us through and we're really grateful for that.
01:00You have no idea how grateful I am.
01:02We were prepared and then very, very, very pleasantly surprised and grateful for it.
01:08And we saw your wife out there cheering for you. How does it feel to see the support out there from her?
01:14Well, this is her favorite show. That's why I'm doing it. So it's great.
01:19And we have the granddaughters here tonight.
01:21Oh, how special. Oh, my gosh. Does that add any more pressure to you?
01:26Like, you're like, I have my family out here. I need to perform, like, the best that I possibly can.
01:30No, it adds fun because I remember watching, you know, my parents do things when I was a kid
01:34and being very proud and going, hmm, that's good.
01:38Thinking, wow, that's cool. So I hope that's what happened with her tonight.
01:43And, I mean, you did receive a four from Derek. And I will say, there was audible gasps.
01:50I was shocked myself. Like, what was going through your mind when you saw that?
01:54What was going through my mind is, Derek is mean.
01:58Aww.
01:59I'll say it again. Derek is mean.
02:01But, I mean, you did get praise from some of the other judges.
02:04Carrie Ann was, like, saying that you improved from last week. How did that feel like?
02:09Well, that's great, but I had to improve. I was horrible last week.
02:13I wouldn't say that. You have killed it.
02:17No.
02:18I would honestly say that.
02:20As his partner and pro in this process, I would not...
02:23Coach.
02:24Coach in this process, I would not say that at all.
02:28Yes, there was a lot of room for improvement, but he went out there and we had fun
02:33and he made it through the entire dance, and that's what's important.
