Woz To Compete On 'Dancing With The Stars'


Posted by Mitch Wagner, Feb 9, 2009 12:37 AM

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?
