So… does Sean Spicer know how to samba?
Now that the outgoing press secretary’s days of tap dancing around tough questions in the White House press room have come to an end, word is that his next gig might be quite a change of pace: Spicer is apparently being courted as a celebrity contestant on ABC’s Dancing With the Stars, the New York Post first reported.
Other outlets also have cited unnamed sources as claiming that the reality competition show – in which celebrities are partnered with professional dancers and compete in a range of dance styles – has expressed interest in Spicer. But there has been no official confirmation from ABC or from Spicer: “We’ll announce our Season 25 cast closer to our premiere date, Sept. 18,” a DWTS spokesperson told USA Today.
Spicer wouldn’t be the first political type to compete on the show – and his predecessors haven’t exactly set a high bar.
