If you're used to tuning in on Tuesdays for all the ballroom drama on Dancing with the Stars season 33, you might be surprised to learn the show isn't on this week. But there's a very good reason why Dancing with the Stars season 33 is not on tonight, October 1.
Due to the 2024 Vice-Presidential Debate between Senator JD Vance and Minnesota governor Tim Walz, Dancing with the Stars will not air on October 1. The debate is scheduled to begin at 9 pm ET/6 pm PT, and while CBS is hosting the event live from New York City, it will be carried live by all broadcast networks, including ABC. This is the only vice-presidential debate planned prior to the November election and is presently the final debate of the election season.
