Witney Carson, the beloved professional dancer from Dancing With the Stars, has officially announced her partner for Season 24: the hilarious actor and comedian Chris Kattan. Fans of both Carson and Kattan are buzzing with anticipation for this unexpected pairing. Kattan, best known for his iconic roles on Saturday Night Live (SNL) for nearly a decade alongside comedic giants like Will Ferrell and Molly Shannon, brings a unique energy to the dance floor.
Carson recounted their initial meeting as slightly awkward, but Kattan’s comedic charm quickly broke the ice. Within minutes, she was, in her words, “laughing hysterically,” and he secured a top spot on her list of funniest people. She highlighted his sweet and kind nature, balanced with a perfectly timed sarcasm, and greatly appreciates his laughter at her jokes – a definite plus for a successful partnership in the demanding world of Dancing With the Stars.
However, Witney Carson acknowledges that this season presents distinctive challenges. Partnering with a comedian and SNL alum is a first for her, promising a season filled with laughter but also requiring a different approach to training and performance. More significantly, she is preparing to navigate Kattan’s history of severe injuries, including a broken neck that has resulted in multiple surgeries and ongoing health concerns. Despite these obstacles, Carson expresses unwavering determination to work through them, emphasizing her belief in Kattan’s potential and their shared commitment to giving the competition their all.
Witney Carson is eager to tap into her creativity this season, aiming to showcase Chris Kattan’s vibrant personality each week and help him truly shine on Dancing With the Stars. She anticipates a season packed with fun and surprises, excited to explore the comedic and performance “tricks” she can draw out of him. With palpable enthusiasm, Carson declares her belief that this season of Dancing With the Stars has the potential to be the best one yet.
Fans are encouraged to stay tuned and mark their calendars for the premiere of Dancing With the Stars on Monday, March 20th, to witness Witney Carson and Chris Kattan’s journey unfold.
