When you recall that he scored a mere 12 points in his first week, funnyman D.L. Hughley actually had a decent run on "Dancing With the Stars." But that stint came to an end Tuesday night after he and pro partner Cheryl Burke were voted off the show.
?My heart is very sad, but my knees are happy as heck,? Hughley told reporters after the live broadcast. ?We took the ride as long as we could.?
Burke said the comic had a backup plan had he not been sent home since, starting next week, contenders are going to have to start performing two routines. ?
?He said he was going to pull a hamstring,? said Burke, who only sounded like she was half-joking.
Hughley credits his and Burke?s supporters for keeping them in the game this long. He hopes to take any new fans he's made with him when he launches a new animated sitcom on FX in the near future.
Burke, as is standard with eliminated pros, will continue to make appearances on "Dancing" results shows. She?s also had a meeting with producers of "The Bachelorette," in hopes of headlining an upcoming season, but fans won't catch her there any time soon. ?
?It?s not up to me,? she shrugged. ?They?ve already picked their new bachelorette.?
Oh, and speaking of "The Bachelor," Tom Bergeron was just setting up a joke on Tuesday's results show when he said that there was going to be a televised wedding special in August featuring Sean Lowe and his fianc? Catherine Giudici -- hence the confused look on Lowe?s face! The host was poking fun at Lowe?s budding ?bromance? with Tristan MacManus.
An ABC rep told Today that no such wedding special has been confirmed.
