Dancing with the Stars is a reality show on ABC where, most of the time, they have what people consider "D" list celebrities competing for a dance trophy. Many stars haven't been seen sometimes in ten years. Dancing with the Stars is an outlet for seasoned celebrities to come back into the limelight. Stars have used Dancing with the Stars as a way to "kick-off" their new show or any other kind of project. Mario Lopez would be the best example of an actor from a 90's sitcom, Saved By The Bell, which the new generation of television watchers did not know about. After Dancing with the Stars, Mario Lopez made several guest appearances on television shows, made work-out videos, and now is a host on Extra.
Chad Ocho-Cinco is also a "D" list star who has gained fame from Dancing with the Stars. Chad Ocho-Cinco is a football player who supposedly had an offer for a reality show on VH1 before Dancing with the Stars; now that he has become more of a household name, other than only being associated with football, his new show will most likely have a bigger audience. Dancing with the Stars also helps make a celebrity who has a tarnished image look better; examples are Tom Delay, and Steve-O. Dancing with the Stars is the quickest, not always the easiest, way for a "D" lister to become an "A" lister.
