Rick Perry will reportedly appear on Dancing With the Stars

When your presidential aspirations fizzle out and die, the next best thing is to go on television and cha-cha your way back into the spotlight.

The official Dancing With the Stars lineup for Season 23 won't be announced until Tuesday's edition of Good Morning America, but Entertainment Tonight is reporting that former Texas governor and Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry is set to appear on the show. He will be joined by a hodgepodge of other celebrities, including Olympians Laurie Hernandez and Ryan Lochte, Maureen McCormick of Brady Bunch fame, Vanilla Ice, Marilu Henner, and Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds, ET says.

Perry won't be the first Texas Republican to two-step across the Dancing With the Stars stage — in 2009, former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay appeared on the show, partnered with pro Cheryl Burke. As seen in the video below of DeLay dancing to "Wild Thing," he's not exactly nimble on his feet — in fact, the second-hand embarrassment is strong throughout the performance — but he did go out there and show America he can wiggle his hips and point a lot.
