Associated Press is reporting that Jeff Ross will be among the 13 contestants who launch the new season of ABC’s Dancing With The Stars.
Ross doesn’t make it into the story’s lede. Nor does he make it into the “other contestants” paragraph.
The other contestants are Cloris Leachman, Kim Kardashian, Ted McGinley, Brooke Burke, NFL champ Warren Sapp and two Olympic athletes: Misty May-Treanor, who won her second gold medal for beach volleyball at this year’s summer games in Beijing, and Maurice Greene, who won two gold medals in track at the 2000 games in Sydney.
Rounding out the cast are chef Rocco DiSpirito, Cody Linley of “Hannah Montana” and comedian Jeffrey Ross.
That’s right, he’s “rounding out the cast.” They should mike him throughout the whole ordeal, as he’ll probably be conducting mini-roasts of his competitors along the way.
