Recollecting the event after a celebratory night on Dancing with the Stars' 500th episode, Arnold was asked by the interviewer on ExtraTV:

"Walker's used to being on the field. How did he like or enjoy being on a red carpet with all the fans, with all the glitz, and all the glam, did he like that part?" (2:04 onwards)

Arnold responded:

"I mean, he loved it; he was definitely like, I have never done this before, and this is definitely crazy and something I've never experienced. But he took it like a champ. We had so much fun that night." (2:13 onwards)
