DWTS Favorite Undergoes Major Surgery
The Dancing With the Stars community is very strong and tight. They are there for one another when times get tough or when big things happen in their lives. Fans are getting ready as the show is heading out on the road for the live tour. This is an opportunity for the DWTS cast and pros to bring their talent all across the United States, and fans can get up close and personal with those that they love. Sadly, a fan favorite has to undergo a major surgery ahead of the tour launch. On the bright side, they have the love and support of their co-stars, who will be by their side.
Dancing pro Emma Slater shared a video with her friends and dancers. In it, she revealed that her celebrity partner, Andy Richter, had to get a hip replacement. As Emma and her pros practiced for the tour, they wanted to let Andy know that they were rooting for him as he underwent the procedure. Brandon Armstrong, Alan Bersten, Daniella Karagach, and Pasha Pashkov were among those cheering on Andy. In the caption, Emma wrote:
“My partner danced his way into a hip replacement, and today is the day. Please wish him a speedy recovery and ENDLESS MOBILITY. And a big WELCOME to his new hip! I can’t wait to meet it.”
DWTS fans and followers loved the video that Emma Slater and the pros made in support of Andy Richter. They also sent out prayers to the comedian and hoped that he would recover quickly:
- You will be so happy you did it! Speedy recovery!❤️

A Happy Andy Update
After Dancing With the Stars fans saw this clip that Emma Slater sent out to Andy Richter, a positive update came in. His wife, Jennifer, commented on the video and shared that Andy’s doctor phoned her. He was coming out of anesthesia, and he was doing well. Furthermore, she was so excited to show him the video as he was going to love it. The Grand Rapids, Michigan, native was beloved in Season 34, and many felt he stayed longer than he should have.
