Hey, I forgot you could vote on that magic interweb-tube thingy. No calls tonight … TiVo’d show says … Tucker’s gone.

*Jerry Springer* is/was a host for Air America?

Credibility, folks. Thanks, Entelechy.

That makes me want to call in for poor Tucker tonight, if I were going to be home for Dancing w/t Stars, but hell, maybe he’ll be glad not to have to come back to do it some more.

Among the casualties (of Air America folding), morning show host Jerry Springer – he better dance good now!

Honora:

maybe where you come from “white boys can’t dance”, but where I was in California, they can not only dance, but they weren’t shy. Didn’t watch, never do, but I give Tucker 100% A for putting himself on the line. How many of us would do it?

Would? Few.

Should? Fewer.

Watched this last night and it was quite sad. I have to say though that like others I am glad Jerry Springer is in the bottom three as well. I would venture a guess though that Springer will wind up finishing pretty well in this whole thing based on his fan base. I would imagine old Tucker will be gone after tonight but not sure how many fans will be calling in on his behalf.
I love DDR as well. My kids have a mini kiddie version that they play a lot and just love it as well.
The only time I took dance lessons was before our wedding. We had been to a wedding of one of my friends a few months before ours and people at the tables were commenting how they looked like two pine trees swaying in the breeze. However, we didn’t keep it up after the wedding and now I wish we had.

I took dance lessons as a teen and played Rugby for 10 years.

Does that qualify me for a waltz with Michelle?

I like to think so!

I love that Dance Revolution game; they had one similar to it at a Dave and Buster’s I went to when I was still travelling. Of course, I think after I left that night the manager decided to install a defibrillator next to it…:)

Oh Tucker…..White boys really can’t dance.

Caught it on Imus this morning, really had to look away, sort of like torturing a bug.

Michelle, you’d smoke him ratingswise also, if you ever ~~got~~ accepted that kind of a gig.

seriously, what’s DDR?

Yeah, but I know I could smoke him at DDR.

Tucker was painful but not nearly as awful as Master P last year. His attitude was wonderful tho!
“Victory and Latin Dance” was really funny.
I admire anyone who gets up in front of the world and takes a chance out of their comfort zone. But I did get up and get another glass of wine during Jerry Springer. I just cant stand him.

However, I agree with Entelechy: it took a lot of guts for him to strut his stuff, and was an awfully good sport.

Yeah, Emmitt Smith’s bit was awesome – great start for him.

When I saw Tucker, I just cringed. He was so stiff. He filled the stereotype of the straight white guy who has no rhythm. Simply, he sucked.

I don’t think his cuteness is going to save him – first off, for sure.

Look on the bright side. Jerry Springer is in the bottom 3 too!

… and for the sports fans out there, turns out Emmitt Smith is a great dancer. Running back==excellent footwork, I guess. :)

Tucker Carlson Gets Lowest Score On “Dancing” Debut…

I really feel bad for pointing this out, because Tucker Carlson deserves a lot of credit for having the guts to do Dancing with the Stars, but on the debut of Season 3 he got the lowest score of the……

Poor Tucker. So cute, so … cute.

Best part of his segment? Before the dance at the end of the interview part:

“What do I want to achieve? Victory.

… Victory, and Latin dance.”

Adorable … he looks like my boy Nathan Fillion, and there’s just no dancing needed on top of that.

I love to watch Latin dancing competitions on PBS. A few years ago I took Argentine tango lessons, over 300 different steps…it is very, very hard.

I credit Tucker for the guts to get up from that chair. He’s really a good sport and the fun and publicity are probably worth more than winning. Plus he got to dance with that Russian girl.

I wouldn’t say that Tucker is “in-it-to-win-it”.
