“Dancing With the Stars” kicked off its Season 25 premiere on Monday with such stars as Nick Lachey, Frankie Muniz and Debbie Gibson. But clearly, conversations about the season would have been much different if one public figure had finalized a deal to join the fray: Sean Spicer.
Longtime executive producers Joe Sungkur and Ashley Edens spoke to TheWrap about Spicer, the former White House press secretary who was in talks to join Season 25 but ultimately did not finalize a deal to showcase his fancy footwork.
“We pretty much had the cast locked, and rumors go around, not just about Sean Spicer but about so many people,” Edens said.
