NBC's “World of Dance” is looking into hiring a fourth judge to join Jennifer Lopez, Derek Hough and Ne-Yo on the panel for Season 2 of the dancing competition show, TooFab has learned.
Hough confirmed to TooFab: "I'm probably going to get in trouble for even mentioning it, but we're thinking about it."
“I would actually love the fourth judge to be the audience, you know what I mean?," Hough said. "It would be really great to have the app of the scoring system that we have and have them to be able to play along at home and for that to be an actual score. That would be great.”

"I've had conversations with fans and people that are like, 'Oh I disagree with this;' and I'm like, 'I understand you and I kind of agree with you if I was watching what you watched, but when you're in the room it is a different experience."

“I competed before I did anything else so I understand the competition game and what that's like... so if anything that's helped me be a judge, you know beause I really understand what it takes and the ins and outs and how it's different to showcase something and to appreciate something and then to compete for something,” he said. "It's a different mentality, different strategy.”
