Timothy Chiles

Mark Manio
Manio is confident in Hoying's ability to cut a rug.
He added, "I'm gonna be his biggest cheerleader at every show, a big ball of nerves just watching him perform because I know Scott's gonna kill it. But every time I see the lights dim and even when I'm watching TV, it always makes me so nervous."

Terri Irwin
Robert Irwin's routine will be dedicated to his mom, Terri Irwin. Robert previously told PEOPLE that Terri is his hero.
"She is just the most brave, steadfast, determined human being I've ever met," he gushed. "And to me, she is just the epitome of a great leader, a great mother, and just a hero to me because she had this life she created with dad and just had the rug pulled out from under her, but she was able to move forward with such grace and still be there for my sister and I."

Cornelia Richter
Andy Richter will bring in a party vibe with a dedication to his stepdaughter, Cornelia.
"That's always been part of the deal for both of us from our first date," he said on the Really Famous with Kara Mayer Robinson podcast in 2022. "I never once tried to pretend like it wasn't, like the two of them weren't one thing."
The Iron Claw star isn't on the roster to attend Season 34 Dedication Night, but he'll be there in spirit and in voice: His brother Dylan is dedicating Zac's signature song from The Greatest Showman to their younger sister.
He added, "I always looked up to him. So then, when everyone else started looking up to him, [it] was like, of course, my big brother. That's kinda how it always felt. I was never surprised that he became what he is."
"I'm really excited for my mom to be there," he told PEOPLE. "But also, my dad and my little brother and little sister. It's gonna make me tear up to see them in the stands."
Will Mr. Feeny be on Dancing With the Stars Dedication Night?
Boy Meets World fans, rejoice: Daniels, 98, is expected to join Fishel on the dance floor. (We're not crying, you're crying.)
The TGIF alum also said other special guests may be present, hinting, "Some people I'm shocked are able to be there, but I'm so happy are able to be there. It's gonna be really special."
