‘Dancing with the Stars’ wants Sean Spicer

Sean Spicer is taking his first steps to transition from the White House briefing room to the bright lights of a TV news studio — but he’s also being courted by “Dancing with the Stars,” Page Six has learned.

The outgoing press secretary spent the day in New York City in talks with major broadcasters about a new career in TV where he can share his insider knowledge of President Trump.

Spicer, who announced his resignation Friday, was seen coming out of high-level meetings at ABC, NBC, CBS and Fox News in Manhattan, according to sources. A source told us some news execs “made the full-court press” as they competed to woo the high-profile spokesman — who brought in solid ratings and plenty of late-night fodder — while others “just kicked the tires.”

But there’s also speculation 45-year-old Spicer’s next stop could be showing off some spicy dance moves on ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars.” Actor Zach Braff jokingly tweeted when Spicer stepped down, “Can’t wait to see Sean Spicer waltz on Dancing With the Stars.”

But a TV insider confirmed to Page Six that the dancing competition show has indeed reached out to the Beltway insider. “That has legs,” the source said.

Viewers will recall that current energy secretary and former Texas Gov. Rick Perry turned in politics for the “Texas cha-cha” on the show last year after losing to Trump in the GOP primary. (If Spicer does join the show, hopefully he’ll be better at cutting a rug than Perry, who was the second contestant booted off last season.)

The embattled press secretary Spicer stepped down after Trump named Anthony Scaramucci his new communications director. Scaramucci, a millionaire financier, predicted Spicer would not be hurting for offers. “He’s done an amazing job,” Scaramucci said last week. “I wish him well and I hope he goes on to make a tremendous amount of money.”

Reached by phone on Wednesday, Spicer said: “I have no comment.” An ABC rep said, “We don’t comment on casting.”

Normally I'd stick to the original but that other thread doesn't have a link or any of this information.

hope the fat sow gets voted off first !

by Anonymousreply 16August 22, 2019 8:09 AM

Deplorables, the most dependable voters ( as seen by last year's farce) , will vote for him in droves, as they defy all of the negative publicity his casting has caused. They will want to " sick it to the liberals." Look for him to go far or, perhaps, win it all. Producers are thrilled with the publicity bonanza; just what they needed to resurrect a show on its death bed.

No one else will hire him.

Remember how he said he wouldn't do it back in 2017 (when the OP posted) because he was "too busy?" LOL

I don't watch anyway. Now I will be certain not to watch.

DLers should put a self-imposed ban on any postings when the show begins until he is eliminated.

DUMB CHOICE

I always thought Sean Spicer looked like Hitler’s foreign minister, Joachim Von Ribbentrop.

What is so alluring about a career based on lying?
