A whole new cast of celebrities are ready to waltz and salsa in front of millions of Americans for the 14th season of Dancing with the Stars.
The new celebrity cast that was revealed on ABC’s Good Morning America on Tuesday includes a dorky 90s TV character, a member of The View, and of course, a football player going from the gridiron to the ballroom. What would Dancing with the Stars be without a macho athlete trying to prove they conquer the ballroom?
The new cast includes Family Matters star Jaleel White, who famously played “Steve Urkel,” Green Bay Packers veteran wide receiver Donald Driver, Melrose Place and General Hospital actor Jack Wager and Melissa Gilbert from the 70s hit show Little House on the Praire.
