There wasn't much of a surprise on Tuesday night's elimination show of "Dancing With the Stars."
In spite of all of the chatter about Kirstie Alley's quick fall on the dance floor on Monday night's show — the judges thought she and her partner, Maksim Chmerkovskiy, recovered
quite nicely — it was talk-show host Wendy Williams who was given the boot.
This week, the celebrities were challenged to dance to a song that told a story about themselves, and Williams chose a foxtrot to "Last Night a DJ Saved My Life," connecting it to her early dreams of having a radio career. The judges told her on Monday night that she lacked fluidity and thought that she took a step backwards from the previous week's performance.
The funnywoman (whose partner was Tony Dovolani) went out with a bit of graceful humor, joking about her 15-point score and her lack of natural rhythm.
"I'm probably the busiest person in terms of flying back and forth. In addition to that, I have a marriage, a child and a litany of other things to hold together," Williams said, talking up her hectic schedule with taping her talk show in New York while also dancing in Los Angeles, where the ABC reality show tapes. "But this has been a wonderful opportunity."
She also thanked Dovolani "for teaching me how to dance. Despite stereotypes, this is one black girl who can't do the running man! I got to do this in front of millions of people! With that said, I'll do the rest of the talking tomorrow, on 'The Wendy Williams Show'!"
