Springer Among New "Dancing" Competitors

Posted Aug 14th 2006 11:48AM by TMZ Staff

Tucker Carlson, Jerry SpringerABC announced the new performers on this season's edition of "Dancing with the Stars" and the list wasn't without some surprises.

As TMZ told you last week, Tucker Carlson, Vivica A. Fox, Harry Hamlin, Joe Lawrence, Mario Lopez , Shanna Moakler and Emmitt Smith will be competing this season. But there were four contestants we didn't know about until this morning. And we couldn't be more excited about the king of "My sister is having an affair with my husband and is pregnant with his baby' -- Mr. Jerry Springer.

Rounding out the cast is Monique Coleman ("High School Musical"), country singer Sara Evans and pop star Willa Ford.

"Dancing With the Stars" premieres Tuesday, September 12 at 8PM ET/PT.

4. OMG -- I simply CANNOT wait until Dancing With The Stars is back with all of these wacky people... Tucker Carlson shaking his groove thang against Joey Lawrence and now Jerry Springer??? YOWZA.

But I never heard of any of the women 'cept Vivica A Fox... they could have certainly gotten more "household names" than these.

10. Yes, Tucker is cute, althought "allegedly" straight. I hope he wears some clingly spandex on the show!

12. Poster #4 - Sara Evans is huge in the country western music field as a vocalist and songwriter. What a voice! Been nominated several years in a row for Best Female Vocalist and believe she won at least once. She's beautiful, married, has 3 or 4 kids. Anyway, this looks like it will be a great season.

14. tiffany, come on now... "Tucker Carlson - a REAL JOURNALIST???" that is funny ! HE IS NOWHERE NEAR BEING A "REAL JOURNALIST" he got kicked off CNN for being generally lame, got demoted to MSNBC ... did he get kicked off that yet? if only a bow tie could make someone credible.
