Woz To Compete On 'Dancing With The Stars'

It took fancy footwork for Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs to invent the Apple computer. Now, Woz will get a chance to display fancy footwork of a different kind when he competes on Dancing With The Stars on TV this year, which premieres Monday, March 9.

It took fancy footwork for Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs to invent the Apple computer. Now, Woz will get a chance to display fancy footwork of a different kind when he competes on Dancing With The Stars on TV this year, which premieres Monday, March 9.That Woz is hitting the TV dance floor raises a few questions:

Will tapping his twinkle toes get in the way of Woz's day job? Last week, storage startup Fusion-io announced that Woz was joining the company as chief scientist.

What does Woz's ex think? The billionaire geek was seen on the arm of D-list celebrity Kathy Griffin a while ago. They split up less than a year ago.

Will Woz do it on his Segway? He's an avid Segway enthusiast who apparently does everything on his Segway. And I do mean everything. Woz will compete against singer Jewel and her rodeo-riding husband Ty Murray, Olympic gold-medal-winning gymnast Shawn Johnson, Hall of Fame linebacker and former New York Giant Lawrence Taylor, Access Hollywood co-anchor Nancy O'Dell, actor and comedian David Alan Grier, rapper Lil' Kim, former Go-Go Belinda Carlisle, actress Denise Richards, actor Gilles Marini, and Jackass star Steve-O.

If he wins, will they change the name of the show to Dancing With The Woz?
