I don't know how many people are or were Dancing with The Stars Fan, but the former lead judge of the series Len Goodman has died at the age of 78. I always liked Len. He was pretty strictly by the book, but had a sense of humor and was respected by judges and the public alike. He smoked most of his life, and I am guessing it was a smoking related disease that killed him..but I have not read the specifics.

I woke up to that sad news too! I have not watched DWTS in years, but I thought he was just wonderful. I think I read he had bone cancer.

@snowy22315 People just don’t think of the far reaching impact of smoking.

@AmbiePam The damage is far down the road from when they first start, that they don't give it a thought.

May he rest in peace. We need more people like him on TV. He will surely be missed by his audience and fans.

I miss the show in general. They put it on some pay TV channel now, that I don't get.

That's too bad that he passed. He lived a good life to live to 78.

With his physical fitness level though he should have lived much longer. 78 seems on the young side to me.

@snowy22315 I always saw the commercials for it. It's not something that interests me.
