International superstar Pitbull returned to the ballroom on last night's DANCING WITH THE STARS, joining Julianne Hough, Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli as a guest judge.

Pitbull kicked off the 'Muy Caliente' night with a steamy performance of his hit single "Fireball" followed by the nine remaining celebrities performing to a mix of his hits and personal favorite songs. Dance styles included Salsa, Rumba, Foxtrot, Tango and Jazz.

Broadway vet Alfonso Ribeiro joined professional dance partner Witney Carson for a spicy Salsa. The performance earned the couple a 39 out of 40 points and an unfortunate injury for the 'Fresh Prince' star. Check it out below!

Starting his acting career at the age of eight, Alfonso landed his first starring role in the Broadway musical The Tap Dance Kid, whereupon he was signed to famed music label Island Records. He became an overnight sensation, enamoring the likes of director Bob Geraldi, choreographer Michael Peters and "The King of Pop" Michael Jackson (who enlisted Alfonso in the infamous Pepsi commercial). After taking time to attend Cal State University, Los Angeles where he earned a Theater Arts education, Alfonso was offered a role in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Alfonso played the memorable character of Carlton Banks, opposite his friend, Will Smith. Following six years on the popular series Fresh Prince, he was then approached by Quincy Jones to appear with L.L.Cool J in the NBC/UPN series In the House. Both can still be seen in syndication.
