However, it seems Tom could be set to make a comeback on DWTS if a comment Derek left while replying to a fan on Instagram is correct.<\/p>\n
He responded when someone shared a news article which claimed that Tom would be interested in returning in the upcoming season for one night only.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

A second mentioned original showrunner Conrad Green as they shared, “Yeah from reading his recent interview I heavily suspect he will be involved in some way. He had said he told Conrad his idea.”<\/p>\n
A third posted, “I miss him a lot. The show changed so much since he left.”<\/p>\n

A fifth said, “Ohhh I would love him as a guest judge or even host for one night!! with Julianne and have Alfonso guest judge or other way around, I just doubt they would have two male hosts.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
