When asked if he was nervous about living up to their standards, Riker told E! News, “A little bit, it’s kind of like trying to walk in their footsteps. I’m a little bit nervous because they’ve both been so good. But it’s going to be fun!”

He added, “I think I have a little bit of the dance genes from the Houghs, for sure!”
