Joey McIntyre: 'Dancing With the Moms' Judge

May 14, 2007 — -- Former "New Kids on the Block" band member Joey McIntyre will be on hand to help "Good Morning America" choose the winner of the "Dancing With the Moms" challenge.

McIntyre, 34, appeared on the first season of "Dancing With the Stars," a decision he was skeptical about at first, but later was glad he did.

"I always wanted to study dance and the show was like going to school," McIntyre said. "I really learned ballroom dancing and I knew I'd be able to perform before millions of people. I just didn't know it would be 20 million. But musical theater was in my blood. … Performing live is such a special experience. The connection I have to the audience is what it's all about for me."

McIntyre calls himself a "modern throwback to the classic song-and-dance men of show business." He's starred on Broadway in "Wicked"; off-Broadway in Jonathan Larson's "tick, tick, Boom!"; on TV in "Boston Public"; and in films such as "Tony and Tina's Wedding" and "The Fantasticks."

On his fifth solo album, "Talk to Me," McIntyre covers standards, such as "The Way You Look Tonight," "I Get a Kick Out of You" and "My Funny Valentine."
