Dionne Warwick Performs

�Episode 402A� � After two nights of exciting performances from the eleven contestants, one couple will be eliminated on the first episode of �Dancing with the Stars the Results Show,� TUESDAY, MARCH 27 (9:00-10:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network. Dionne Warwick will be the night�s musical guest, taking the stage accompanied by Salsa dancers and singing a Salsa version of the hit song, �Do You Know the Way to San Jose,� from her new album entitled, �Me and My Friends.� She�ll also perform the classic tune �I Say a Little Prayer,� as Cheryl Burke and Jonathan Roberts dance alongside Anna Trebunskaya and her new partner, Pavlo Barsuk. In addition, eight professional dancers (Tony Dovolani and Elena Grinenko, Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Karina Smirnoff, Brian Fortuna and Kym Johnson, Alec Mazo and Edyta Sliwinska) hit the floor for a group Jive to Queen�s �Don�t Stop Me Now,� choreographed by Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Tony Dovolani.

If that weren�t enough, late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel (�Jimmy Kimmel Live�) will also be featured in the first of a series of weekly segments titled, �Dance Along at Home with Jimmy Kimmel.� Each week Jimmy will offer up his parking lot security guard, Guillermo, to hilariously demonstrate a ballroom dancing technique. This Tuesday, we�ll also look back at past seasons in a special tribute to the celebrities who left the competition early in a segment called, �The First to Go,� with interviews from Trista Sutter, Kenny Mayne and Tucker Carlson.
