‘Dancing with the Stars’ 19: Cast reportedly includes Lolo Jones, Andi Dorfman, more
Is “Dancing with the Stars” getting close to finalizing their season 19 cast? It definitely appears that way, based on some of the reports that are currently out there.
According to TMZ, the show has basically secured recent “Bachelorette” Andi Dorfman to a gig on the show, along with UFC legend Randy Couture, “American Ninja Warrior” star Kacy Catanzaro, Olympian Lolo Jones, and actor Antonio Sabato Jr. (We actually interviewed Antonio recently about another project, and we’ll have something on that coming up next week.)
E! News, who also reported the casting of Sabato and Jones, also adds to the mix “Pretty Little Liars” star Janel Parrish, whose character Mona was (SPOILER ALERT) just killed off in the midseason finale. This gives you a decent roster of stars to begin with, and for the most part, this is a pretty good group. We’ve at least heard of almost all of them, though the show is still lacking a TV or movie legend, and some sort of musician who could come on and then perform during a future results show.
One interesting facet about the original TMZ report to us was the part that suggested the show is also looking for a female YouTube star to add to the ranks, which is really a smart move on their part. They, like so many others, now understand that this people do possess a ton of talent and are what young people are watching now. Getting one of the YouTube A-listers would be a big win for the show and bring in some new people in the young demographic.
Are there any people on these reported lists that you would be excited to see on the show? Share your thoughts right now with a comment, and dance your way over here if you want to get some further news on everything we cover right now via our CarterMatt Newsletter.
