10 Most Memorable Talent Show Judges

8. Bruno Tonioli

Bruno Tonioli (above, far right) is known and loved in the UK and America for his infectious personality on the panels of Strictly Come Dancing & Dancing With The Stars. He is one of the most outrageous personalities on television today and will continue to do so - appearing on 3 seasons a year. Bruno's aura can definitely be linked to his Italian roots, but his career highs have all been in the dance world internationally. He has worked professionally as a choreographer for MEGA stars like Sir Elton John, Tina Turner and Freddie Mercury among others. Look closely and you'll see Bruno working it in Elton's "I'm Still Standing" music video. So when the BBC created Strictly Come Dancing for it's flagship channel and launched the show overseas soon after, Bruno was perfect. He had the relative experience which made him a top choice, but what they got was truly lasting entertainment. He is the most animated, energetic and unpredictable judge that I've ever seen. It is rare to see him actually sat at his desk, instead preferring to throw around his body in complete euphoria when delivering critique. He is often told off for giving long winded feedback by the hosts, but that adds the fun of the show. Poor Len Goodman, his co-judge on both shows, is often caught in the middle of Bruno's crazy moments - find out for yourself below: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmFfGPylKYo
