This morning on ABC’s Eyewitness News, Sam opened up about his time on DWTS and his experience with Len Goodman. The weather anchor likened Dancing With The Stars to being on Survivor and said there was little about his time on the show that he recalled himself thinking about how much he liked the experience. In fact, he said the only real good thing about his time on the show was the time he spent with Len Goodman.
Sam Champion explained that Len was such a sweet man and made an effort to make sure everyone felt included. He added that Len Goodman had a way of making you feel good for trying even if you knew you weren’t very good at all. He appreciated the sweet way Len spoke to him during his time on the show. And, his kindness would stay with him always. Check out exactly what Sam had to say in the video clip down below:
