Ian Ziering dances over to Lifetime

Ian ZieringLooks like Ian Ziering is just going to have a career that completely revolves around dancing on reality/game shows. Or hosting them.

After a failed attempt to take over Bob Barker's job on The Price Is Right, the Dancing with the Stars alum will host Lifetime's new reality competition show Your Mama Don't Dance. The show will feature ten professional dancers who team up with their parents to compete for "an undetermined prize worth $100,000." Why don't they just give them $100,000 cash? Hopefully they won't be stuck with 50,000 Your Mama Don't Dance t-shirts.

The only interesting twist in this show is that the parents actually thought they were just going to participate in a "dance-off" and not a reality show, where they could potentially be made fools of in front of millions of viewers on a weekly basis. Lifetime also fooled the rest of the country, saying for a while now that the show was actually called Dance Nation. (I'm sorry, did I say interesting twist? I meant completely uninteresting reality show format.)

I'll say it hear first: mark my words, later this year or next you'll see a spinoff of this show called Your Daddy Don't Rock 'N Roll, where dads will be teamed with their musician sons.

First of all, you have it completely wrong. The parents DID know they were part of a reality show.... This show is going to be awesome! You also have it wrong about fooling anyone about the title. Only the dancers were told the title of the show to be Dance Nation. The rest of the country has heard of no such thing. Don't hate when you have NO CLUE!

As I recall so did the initial description of "Dancing with the Stars" and that turned out to be a lot more fun that people (myself included) thought.
