NFL legend Emmitt Smith stops by to show Rachael some of the hot new dance moves he's learned as a contestant on Dancing with the Stars. But first, the all-time leading rusher has to make his way through some questions from the Rach...

Is it hard for you to just walk down the street? How much attention do you get?

"I love walking down the streets, especially in New York. I get no attention whatsoever...it's perfect for me!"

You have so many championship rings - how do you decide which ring to wear?

"Oh, my wife makes sure I understand which ring I have to wear." Now that's some serious bling!

How did you prepare for Dancing with the Stars?

"I told my partner, 'Listen, I'm here to learn, I'm here for you to teach me to do certain things I've never done before in my life. I mean, I've never even thought about ballroom dancing. Don't get me wrong -- I'm a club dancer, I like gettin' my groove on -- but when it comes down to ballroom dancing, it's not even in my class!'"

After working up a sweat on the dance floor, Rachael and Emmitt head to the kitchen to tackle some Turkey Tetrazzini.
