Guillermo Rodriguez

Guillermo Rodriguez is the beloved comedic sidekick to late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel. The television personality, who has been working on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” for over 23 years, was discovered in the parking lot where he worked as a security guard. Since then, he’s been featured alongside Kimmel on the talk show and his own viral segments like the Oscars red carpet where he can be found admiring Charlize Theron. Recently, he’s launched his own brand of fresh salsa, Guillermo’s Salsa.

Maura Higgins

Television personality and rising style icon Maura Higgins is getting ready to compete again on TV after starring on “The Traitors” earlier this year where she came in second after Rob Rausch, who made her believe that he was a faithful until the very end. The viral moment became a topic of conversation for weeks after the show wrapped, with Rausch also gifting her a Birkin Bag as an apology for betraying her on the show. Prior to “Traitors,” Higgins competed on “Love Island” in 2019 and became a host on “Love Island USA Aftersun” and “Love Island Games Aftersun.”

Ciara Miller

Best known for her role on “Summer House,” Ciara Miller is one of the most influential voices to emerge from the Bravo universe. Earlier this year, Miller became the center of a viral storyline on “Summer House” when her ex-boyfriend publicly confirmed a romantic relationship with her friend. The moment had everyone on social media talking and rallying around Miller. Outside of reality TV, Miller has built a loyal following for her unique perspective across fashion, culture and more. Recently, she served as a co-host for “Love Island USA: Aftersun” and has also served as a correspondent on red carpets.

Jackson Olson

Savannah Bananas star Jackson Olson is taking his dance moves from the baseball field to the ballroom. The baseball player, entertainer and social media personality rose to fame with the exhibition barnstorming baseball team, which puts on dance routines, comedy sketches and more.
