In a one-hour special, "Dancing with the Stars: All-Stars - An Exclusive Encore," we will recap Monday night's stellar performances as well as include new, exclusive, behind-the-scenes footage and never-before-seen interviews, TONIGHT, OCTOBER 9 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET). Following the special, on "Dancing with the Stars: All-Stars -- The Results Show" (9:00-10:00 p.m., ET), the couples face a double elimination and Karmin perform "Hello" and their irresistibly addictive single, "Brokenhearted," from their debut album "Hello," out now. Last year Karmin captured the attention of music lovers worldwide when they posted a cover of Chris Brown's "Look at Me Now." The clip went viral, becoming one of YouTube's most viewed videos; since then they've racked up about a half billion views for all of their videos online. The duo released their first album, "Hello," earlier this year, shortly after their television debut on "Saturday Night Live." Amy and Nick spent the earlier part of the summer touring around the country and headlining festivals, including a performance for a crowd of more than 100,000 in San Francisco last month. Also performing Tuesday night is musician Frankie Moreno with a medley of "Tangerine Honey" and "Real Wild Child," accompanied by Troupe members Lacey Schwimmer and Kyle Massey

Also during Tuesday night's results show, we will have the season's first "AT& T Spotlight Performance," featuring Joshua Johnson. Joshua, an ambitious young man from New York City, had always dreamt of going to college. But when his acceptance letter came from Penn State University, he realized he was never going to be able to afford it. His mother had lost her job years before and they had been living in shelters ever since. Josh decided he would raise the money he needed by tap dancing on the subway. He danced for hours, holding out his hat for donations. Eventually, he collected enough money to cover his freshman year of college. But to pay for future years, Josh would take a five-hour bus ride to New York every weekend and raise more money by tap dancing on the subway. Currently in his junior year at Penn State, he still travels to New York every weekend with the hope of raising enough money to get him through to graduation. Tuesday night, the ballroom welcomes Joshua and eight other dancers who will be dancing in a powerful piece by renowned choreographer JT Horenstein. The performance will be beautiful tribute to the people of New York, as Josh knows that without them he wouldn't be in college.

Hosted by Emmy Award winner Tom Bergeron ("America's Funniest Home Videos") and Brooke Burke-Charvet ("Dancing with the Stars" Season Seven Champion), the celebrities perform choreographed dance routines which will be judged by renowned Ballroom judge Len Goodman and dancer/choreographers Bruno Tonioli and Carrie Ann Inaba.
