11 Most Awkward Dancing Stars

Think Tom DeLay will be the biggest train wreck in Dancing With the Stars' history? Watch the astonishing low bar set by Jerry Springer, Steve Wozniak, Penn Jillette, and more.

Steve Wozniak

The geeks may inherit the Earth, but Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak won’t be winning a dancing title anytime soon. The Woz busted a move—and who knows what else—doing “the worm” in the middle of a samba routine in Season Nine.

Cloris Leachman

At 83 years old, Cloris Leachman’s Season Seven performance on Dancing With the Stars was very sweet and grandmotherly. You know, if your grandmother has a tendency to rip off her wig in public and grab her dancing partner’s crotch.

Jerry Springer

If you’ve always wanted to see trash-TV guru Jerry Springer get gored by a bull, well, today isn’t your lucky day. The talk-show host was spared any physical bloodshed in his tangling with a real, live (albeit tiny) bull during the rehearsal segment, but at least his dignity took a shredding thanks to the darling little matador costume he was forced to don in his paso doble performance.

Kim Kardashian

Kim Kardashian is famous for no valid reason beyond having a leaked sex tape and a sizeable caboose, and in Season Seven of DWTS, she added “dancing” to the list of things she’s not particularly good at. Most painful was her mambo to a remix of Sir Mix-a-Lot’s “Baby Got Back.” Enough, Kim, we get it—you have a booty.
