"Dancing with the Stars: The Results" two-night premiere will air TONIGHT, SEPTEMBER 16 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET) on ABC where one couple will be eliminated by combining the judges' scores from Monday night's performance with the public votes.

The Tuesday night show will feature music legend SMOKEY ROBINSON performing a duet of "My Girl" with ALOE BLACC off of Robinson's new album, "Smokey and Friends." The show will also feature a special dance number performed by the three new pros: Allison Holker, Keo Motsepe and Artem Chigvintsev.
