On last night's DANCING WITH THE STARS finale with less than 24 hours to prepare, the three remaining couples fused two contrasting dance styles that they've performed this season into a new routine they performed for judges' points. At the end of the night, the public voted from Monday night was combined with the judges' scores from both nights to crown Broadway's Alfonso Ribeiro and his professional dance partner Witney Carson the Season 19 Champions.
Watch the winning couple be revealed on last night's Finale below!
About Alfonso Ribeiro:
Starting his acting career at the age of eight, Alfonso landed his first starring role in the Broadway musical The Tap Dance Kid, whereupon he was signed to famed music label Island Records. He became an overnight sensation, enamoring the likes of director Bob Geraldi, choreographer Michael Peters and "The King of Pop" Michael Jackson(who enlisted Alfonso in the infamous Pepsi commercial). After taking time to attend Cal State University, Los Angeles where he earned a Theater Arts education, Alfonso was offered a role in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Alfonso played the memorable character of Carlton Banks, opposite his friend, Will Smith. Following six years on the popular series Fresh Prince, he was then approached by Quincy Jones to appear with L.L.Cool J in the NBC/UPN series In the House. Both can still be seen in syndication.
