If you saw any of the Olympics, I hope it was the moment Stephen ‘The Specialist’ Nedoroscik took the stage to give a flawless performance on the pommel horse.
He was adorable and charming and mysterious and people everywhere were talking about him. So how should he parlay that fame? Reality TV, of course. Dancing With the Stars!
The casting was announced on Thursday’s episode of ABC’s “Good Morning America.” Nedoroscik is the first celebrity contestant named for the season, which premieres Sept. 17 on ABC and Disney+. He’s also the first male gymnast to compete, “Good Morning America” co-host Robin Roberts said.
“I want to bring some of that gymnastics, maybe a backflip or handstand,” Nedoroscik said on the morning show. “I want to have fun with it.”
“The memes are hilarious and I’m loving them all,” the Penn State engineering graduate told The Associated Press in Paris.
The newest season of “Dancing With the Stars” will be the show’s 33rd. It’s co-hosted by Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough, and judged by Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli and Derek Hough. The rest of the celebrity cast will be announced at a later date, ABC said in a release.
