Sam Champion Makes Triumphant Return After ‘DWTS’ Elimination

Sam Champion made his triumphant return to work. This comes after his four-week run on Dancing with the Stars. Sadly, Sam’s time in the dancing competition came to an end last week. He returned back to work with a big smile on his face.

He flew back to New York City to get back to work. Fans couldn’t be any happier to see Sam’s smiling face back in front of the cameras. They missed him since he took on his new venture in September. Sam shocked fans when he announced that he was joining the Season 31 cast of DWTS.

GMA weatherman is back to work

On Monday, October 17, Sam Champion made his triumphant return to Good Morning America. Even though he didn’t win the Mirrorball trophy, he is still happy about his short-lived run. Sam took to his social media platforms to share his morning photo with a coffee in his hand. His co-anchor Shirleen Allicot shared on her Instagram Story that Sam is back on ABC Eyewitness News.

The footage showed Sam looking at Shirleen as he gave her a big hug. The blue-eyed man still had a huge smile on his face. She included the song “Shady’s Back” by Eminem in the clip and wrote: “Our beloved is baaaaack!”

Last Monday, Sam was the latest celebrity to be eliminated from Dancing with the Stars. Sam and his dance partner Cheryl Burke ended up in the bottom two. After they were in the bottom two a week prior, the judges couldn’t save them. Now that the competition is getting fierce, he couldn’t avoid elimination this time around.

Sam and Cheryl shared their experience with the show. The meteorologist joked that “everything hurts” since competing on the show. Sam didn’t realize the physical toll that the show can put you through when you rehearse for weeks on end. Even his GMA co-host Michael Strahan and fellow NFL players called DWTS “the hardest thing they had ever done.”
