Out of all the Steves we know (we only know three, the third being that imaginary friend of ours. Ooh, we hate that jerk!), the Woz probably provides the most personal entertainment to the Mac|Life staff. Whether it be hard hitting, deeply personal interviews between the Woz and our very own Flo Ion, his ever so popular appearances on Kathy Griffin's My Life on the D-List, or the many candid photos of him on his Segway. It's easy to see why Steve Wozniak has developed a cult following.
Now more than ever, Woznites will be able to show their support for their favorite computer engineer by voting for him on ABC's reality TV show, Dancing With The Stars. YES! That's right! Steve Wozniak will be competing on the eighth season of the ever-so-popular prime time gala.
Along with 13 other stars, including singer Jewel, rapper Lil'Kim, and 17-year old gold medalist Shawn Johnson; the Woz and others will get to "showcase their fancy footwork." Fans will be able to tune in, and then call in votes for their favorite Silicon Valley mastermind beginning March 9 at 8/7c. We honestly can't express how excited we are to become fans of a show we hardly knew existed.

And it really made my day to see Woz on that show. It was entertaining before he came along, but he was a really fun addition. And the Mac got plenty of screen time in the episode where they set up computers for some South American school.

I posted this news bit 12 hours before your intrepid reporter. You guys are getting slow with your info posting lol.
But like Ray stated above me - I cringe when I leave the room, so that my wife can watch, and swore I would never watch it.
But now I won't miss it.
But I also agree with raywes - If this was Dancing with Segways, he might stand a chance. But as I see it, he will be gone the first episode.

Just the other day, I was telling someone how I'd never, ever, ever watch that show. Ever. And now, this. I might have to tune in, just to see if he gets to use his Segway.
