Sean Spicer's stint on 'Dancing With the Stars' came to an end on Monday, November 11, 2019, after eight weeks of performances that left many viewers and judges unimpressed.
Despite President Trump's support, Spicer was eliminated from the reality show, ending a chapter in American politics that somehow managed to combine politics and dance.
Spicer, who wore a floofy neon top during his time on the show, expressed gratitude to the show's producers and contestants after being eliminated.
He said, "I've loved being on this show, thank you for making me part of it."
Spicer's presence on the show was met with criticism from judges, who found his performances lacking in skill and enthusiasm. Gia Kourlas, the dance critic for The New York Times, wrote, "He's as stiff and two-dimensional as a sheet of cardboard, with feet that move as if stuck in slabs of cement and arms that look like they're still gripping the lectern."
Spicer's time on the show was also marked by controversy, with many viewers and commentators expressing disapproval of his stint as a White House spokesman and his association with the Trump administration.
Despite this, Spicer appeared to relish the experience, and his time on the show was supported by President Trump, who urged his Twitter followers to vote for the administration loyalist.
