On Monday night Sean Spicer made his Dancing With the Stars debut—despite the uproar that surrounded his casting for weeks after it was announced. Host Tom Bergeron expressed his disappointment with the decision soon after Spicer’s casting was announced, as did a couple ABC showrunners shortly after. But none of that was apparently enough to keep Donald Trump’s former White House press secretary off the air. And so, during Monday’s premiere, his attempt at a redemption arc began—with some light self-effacement, a lime green shirt, and, yes, bongos for some reason. As a White House employee, Spicer routinely lied to the American people, starting with his first press briefing, in which he insisted that Trump’s inaugural ceremony drew “the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration, period, both in person and around the globe.” Dancing With the Stars’ strategy in introducing Spicer Monday night was precisely what one might have expected: Pile on the self-deprecation. “There’s no question my time in the White House was very tumultuous,” Spicer said during his introduction, which also included a montage that conveniently skipped a lot of lowlights. Spicer even beamed over the president’s congratulatory tweet regarding his second act, saying, “It’s nice to have the leader of the free world on your side when it comes to getting votes.” As for the salsa, which was set to the Spice Girls’ “Spice Up Your Life”: Spicer and partner Lindsay Arnold wore costumes typical of the show, meaning “colorful” barely begins to describe them—but Spicer’s blinding shirt, seemingly designed to mimic the puffy shirt on Seinfeld, felt deliberately over the top, even for Dancing With the Stars. Spicer began by furiously pounding on a set of bongos in a manner judge Bruno Tonioli described by saying, “It’s like you were being attacked by a swarm of wasps.” In the end Tonioli granted that the dance was “strangely entertaining.” Truthfully, the dance was pretty dull—and yes, for those wondering, Sean Spicer does not know how to keep time, even after the show’s introductory crash course. “I admire your courage,” judge Len Goodman said, “coming on this show.” It was enough to make one wish someone had handed the panel a piece of paper scrawled with the words “DO NOT CONGRATULATE.” When Spicer and Arnold left the stage to await their scores, Erin Andrews complimented Spicer’s commitment, adding a Jerry Seinfeld joke in case anyone missed the “puffy shirt” connection. “This is payback for every single person who’s going, ‘Haha, you wore that shirt,’” Spicer added for good measure. In the end he and Arnold received fours across the board.Advertisement Speaking with reporters after his dance number, Spicer
