Guillermo Rodriguez, a familiar face from Jimmy Kimmel Live!, is preparing to showcase his dance moves on 'Dancing With the Stars' season 35, premiering this September. Kimmel announced his sidekick's upcoming participation, humorously noting Guillermo as the first parking lot security guard to join the competition.
Rodriguez, who began his career on the show over two decades ago as a security guard, has since become a fan favorite. His presence extends beyond the show, having notably modeled Kim Kardashian's Skims Everyday Sculpt Bodysuit in 2024. Kardashian herself was impressed and even considered him for a fit model position.
In addition to his television and modeling work, Guillermo has successfully launched his own business, Guillermo's Salsa. He shared details about his "real good" and "fresh" salsa during a 2026 appearance on Good Morning America. Rodriguez also maintains a significant social media presence with over 460,000 Instagram followers.
