Cynthia Erivo Guest Judges Dancing with the Stars Disney Night on Monday
Cynthia Erivo is the guest judge when Dancing with the Stars holds its Disney Night on ABC on Monday, Nov. 2, at 8 p.m. ET and PT.
The episode has moved from its usual Tuesday slot. ABC is carrying live election coverage on Tuesday, so the show has shifted a day earlier, as The Hollywood Reporter reported. ABC's own listing puts the show at 8/7c on Monday, and the program is scheduled to run from 8 to 10 p.m. Eastern, according to ABC's press release issued on Oct. 29.
Erivo is a GRAMMY, Emmy and Tony winner and a three-time Academy Award nominee. She joins the regular panel for the night, which the show's own listing places as Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough hosting, with Derek Hough and Bruno Tonioli on the judges' bench.
The show is in its 35th season. It premiered on Sept. 16, 2026, and the most recent regular episode, Horror Movie Night, aired on Oct. 28. Disney Night is a themed episode, so the dances and song choices are built around Disney material.
Viewers can watch live on ABC. The Hollywood Reporter says the episode can also be streamed live through DirecTV, Fubo, Sling and Hulu + Live TV, and that it will be available on Disney+. DirecTV and Fubo both offer five-day free trials, which is useful for anyone who does not already have either service. Voting opens at 8/7c, the same time the show starts.
For people who prefer to watch later, new episodes arrive on Hulu the day after they air on ABC and Disney+, according to Cincinnati.com and USA Today.
The main thing to remember is the day. If you planned to watch on Tuesday, the episode is on Monday instead.
