Kitchen Stadium Chairman To Be On Dancing With The Stars
![]() |
It was just announced that Mark Dacascos, “the Chairman” on Iron Chef America, will be a competitor on Dancing With The Stars this season. There’s really only one joke that can be made here, so allow us to be the first to make it:

(Interested in who the other contestants are? Head over to Pophangover.)

THIS WEEK: Another tailgating weekend! Alex G's onion rings, an awful slow cooker experience, Ina & Jeffrey Garten's lame steak throwdown, Jennifer Hudson's annoying Weight Watchers commercial, Restaurant Impossible's cheap makeovers, and more.

In Flay v. Samuelsson last night, the Chairman wouldn’t eat his dessert, because he said he is watching his waistline. So this news makes sense.
On another note, did anybody notice the Jeffrey Saad webisodes on TNFNS site? Pretty interesting.
Dancing with the Stars is one of the only shows on TV that I hate so much, I literally can not be in the room when my wife is watching it.
I still don’t associate this guy with food. I associate him with capoeira from the 90s movies he was in.
Only on ABC could announcing a secret ingredient qualify you to be a “star!”
Howard Sterns wife, Fake Iron Chef Chairman (there is only one and he’s still in Japan) who’s next?
Sandra (hic) Lee in Dancing with the Drunk Ass Stars?
Yea Jun I saw on Bob’s blog that they were giving Jeffrey webisodes but I just have no interest in watching him. The man bores me. He’s like watching paint dry.
@Jamie O. His recipes are interesting though.

He’ll probably win but I don’t care to watch DTWS. One word: BORED.
Watched it once. Boring, stupid and contrived. If I’m going to watch a dancing competion, I’ll watch “So you think you can dance”. At least there’s a point to it. So if ‘The Chairman’ is on it, who cares…
I see no problem (esp. since I never watch Dancing with the stars).
But hey it works . . . to be an “iron chef” you obviously need to be fast and fluid and graceful on your feet!
He is so HOT so why not?? I can’t wait to see him in some tight pants!!
I don’t watch Dancing With the Stars, so I don’t know the format. But I hope one of these is worked in somewhere…
Please tell us what your approach was to today’s dance?
What was your inspiration for tonight’s dance?
ALLEZ DANCING!
Hey Jillian, good thing you detailed/defined the other Dancers on Pophangover. Some of them really made me laugh. Also, good thing I went to Pophangover first @CherryRose…read the caption under the photo as well next time.
p.s. Not watching dancing with the stars.
I agree, Leilani. Jillian did a fine job with her descriptions of these jokers, giving the proper perspective on this waste of tv airtime. How desperate do you have to be for attention to be on that show anyway??
@CherryRose…read the caption under the photo as well next time.
My bad, and I apologize. Jillian can delete my above post if she wants to.
I never knew his name before now. Just looked at some of his old movie stills and the guy is HOT!
That said, [yawn!]. Can’t stand DWTS.
So why not Rachael Ray??? She is looking so hot these days (have you seen her since her surgery- thinner and sexy) – I was hoping she would have went on…? Am I alone in this guys?
Rachael has no need to do this, since she is an instantly-recognizable personality with bazillions of $$.
Of course, so is Donnie Osmond, so I don’t know . . .
I bet Rachael is a hot little dancer.
@Justin -
AllezDancing ! Curiosity might get the better of me, and I probably will tune in after all these years.
I’d love to see Chuck Liddell and Mr Karate Boy get into it during filming. Think of the ratings they could generate.
Think of damage Liddell could inflict.
@Di, the show is Dancing with the Stars… I don’t know why the heck some of the “stars” are D list at best… is it because ABC is too cheap to pay for bigger stars? Rachael Ray is a big star and has a sparkling persona and will be great on the show. At least I think she would.
If you agree with me, raise you hand!! Mike Rowe shoveling pig shit has more social value than DWTS!!
The Chuck Liddell pick is a brilliant move guaranteed to bring over his huge fan base and MMA audience and make them fans of dancing celebs. Right.
Choke ‘em out, Chuck!!
I saw Billy Ray Cyrus trying to tango to a Clash song on DWTS and I was horrified beyond words. Joe Strummer had to be turning in his grave.
The only redeeming value of DWTS is that it is fodder for “The Soup”.
I had no idea what his name was or that he was an actor. DWTS is so Z list.
no fucking way! thats hilarious
Kathy, Which Clash song did Billy Ray Cyrus try to tango to? If I remember correctly, the Clash’s music has anything less to do with Tango and more to do with hard edge riffs and powerful lyrics than “Achy Breaky Heart.”
Personally, I’d leave Debi Mazar out of this since she appears in a kick-ass show like Entourage. Hardly a has-been. She shouldn’t be lumped there with the sleazy Tom Delay. By the way, shouldn’t the “so-called Hammer” be in jail teaching some inmates a new type of Tango in the showers? :)
As for the so-called Chairman, he deserves that gig. Personally, the real Chairman, Kaga, should be on Iron Chef America. He’d take over the show and make it the way it once was: campy yet educational and classy.
