Emmitt Smith -- The Next Regis?

Emmitt Smith"Dancing with the Stars" champ Emmitt Smith is a hot commodity in entertainment these days.

Well-placed industry sources tell TMZ that Smith has had discussions with at least one major studio about hosting his own talk show.

Smith's "likability" may have catapulted him to the top of the heap on "Dancing." Some TV execs apparently think it will translate into daytime ratings.

16. Man that sucked so much ass. Mario Lopez can dance circles around Emmitt. Now don't get me wrong, I really liked Emmitt and I carried him through most of the competition on the "I like him" votes. But he totally didn't deserve to win. I can't believe Mario Lopez got robbed like that.

And I knew it was gonna happen that way. Emmitt was ALL over the media, he had his PR people working major overtime with the "vote for Emmitt" campaign. But this wasn't a personality competition......

He did good don't get me wrong, but he DEFINITELY wasn't better than Joey Lawrence and he definitely wasn't better than Mario Lopez.

I really don't like Cheryl. She rubs me wrong.

17. Well as long as we have Joe Scarborough (who is also from pensacola, FL and not someone I owuld call "likeable") on MSNBC, it can only help my hometown to have someone as like Emmitt Smith representing us as well. I'm all for it!

18. Amen #15! I couldn't have said it better myself. You are right on target.

19. To Moral Momma: Maybe Mario can dance better but, he's so full of himself who could stand him! Besides, they were voting on people that' have never danced before. By far Emmit made the biggest improvement and has a much better personality. Maybe you should go check your panties.

20. The guy may come of as a teddy bear, but being from the same area as Emmit (Pensacola,Fl), he doesn't have that great of a rep here, example me and my nephew asked him for a autograph at his golf tournament and he wanted $20 bucks! I respect the man for what he's done professionally, but as far as his "nice guy image", he's not that at all!

21. I think Emmit and Cheryl were terrific and I know next to nothing about football or the teams. Mario and Karina, while terrific dancers, were the sorest losers I have seen in a long time. What lack of class. Mario loves himself-that's obvious, and I wonder if he has any room for his "Karina" in the self-love. I am glad they didn't win-huge lack of class.

22. Give me a break about karina and Mario being sore losers -- I only wish that Emmitt and Cheryl lost -- because they would have showed without a doubt showed the meaning of sore losers (at least Emmitt) would have cried foul. I'd like to see how you all would act with millions of people watching and you are not the couple picked, give them a break!

23. ok I wii never ever watch that show again, it's a poularity vote...and not who's has the best talent ,unless they change the voting I think smart people will never watch again the rating will go down I think the judges should have the last vote ,we are not voting for a foortball star we are voting for a talented dancer he should of been off way before.. I'm sure Emmitt and Cherly are really embrassed I would be knowing Mario could do circles aroud them

26. In the beginning I was all about Mario then he began to rub me the wrong way - breaking the rules, grand standing & full of himself. I became more impressed each week with Emmitt - he did a great job, was more fun to watch and more entertaining. Although I agree Mario was the better dancer I was delighted the football player won especially when it was s-o-o-o obvious the losers showed such poor sportsmanship at the end.

27. I would love to see his beautiful smiling face every day.
He's a keeper.
