"DWTS" Pro Maks Chmerkovskiy Had Never Heard Of His Partner Melissa Gilbert (VIDEO)
3/2/12
Maks Chmerkovskiy made a surprising confession Friday on "Good Day L.A." when he revealed he had no idea who his new "Dancing With the Stars" partner Melissa Gilbert was when they were first introduced at the Season 14 cast announcement.
"The first time we met is a funny story now, and I don't want to offend anybody, we met each other this week and she came in and goes 'Oh my god, it's you!!!' and I'm like 'oh.. my.. god... it's uh... you'. I had no clue who she was."
Maks does have a decent excuse, though. Gilbert rose to fame as a child star on "Little House On The Prairie", which was aired from 1974-1983. He immigrated to the United States from Ukraine in 1994, so he missed her TV run, even though the show was internationally syndicated.
"I came to the U.S. in 1994, but she said that the show was syndicated all over the world, so she gave me the entire series collection as a gift."
