While there has been some question on whether or not judge Len Goodman will return to ABC's Dancing With the Stars, one of the show's executive producers is confident that he will be back.

Dancing With the Stars EP Rob Wade spoke with Glamour at the ABC All-Star TCA Party recently and revealed that he was pretty sure Goodman and his fellow judges Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli would return for Season 19.

"We want all of the judges back," he said. "We're talking at the moment because we're in the off-season, but I'm very confident that they'll be back."

During the Season 18 finale, Goodman had led viewers to believe that he may be leaving.

The show's host, Tom Bergeron, will definitely be back and he sat down with Glamour as well to reveal who he wants to see competing on Dancing With the Stars.

"We're always trying to get Bill Clinton," he admitted. "His people very politely decline every time, but you never know. I don't know. I really defer to [casting director] Deena Katz and her crew. They do such a masterful job casting."

Glamour suggested that New York Yankee Derek Jeter could be a good get for the show, and Bergeron would "love" if he were to participate.

"Are you kidding? I would love Derek Jeter. I'm a Patriots fan, so I would love Tom Brady, but Jeter is a great idea. A-Rod would be interesting!"

The cast for the next season of Dancing With the Stars likely won't be released until late August, so fans have plenty of time to campaign for their favorite celebrities to compete in the show.
Dancing With the Stars Season 19 is set to air its premiere on Monday, Sept. 15 at 8 p.m. on ABC.
