Happy "DWTS" Day! Love, The Judges

“Dancing with the Stars” kicks off its 19th season tonight! We’re about to see the likes of Betsey Johnson, Bethany Mota and Alfonso Ribeiro strut their stuff alongside some of our favorite pros, including Witney Carson, Sharna Burgess, Derek Hough and first-timer Allison Holker. Color us intrigued.

But Carrie Ann Inaba doesn’t want us to overlook the judging panel (which now includes, let’s not forget, the lovely Julianne Hough). In fact, Inaba recently gave us the following “proof” that the judges are every bit as talented as the competitors. And host Tom Bergeron? He seems to be as quick on his feet as he is with the witty repartee.

Happy Monday, guys:
