Yes! Cliff Will Dance!!

I felt rather indifferent about the loss of Vinny Pastore from the cast of Dancing with the Stars, but I cannot contain my excitement about his replacement. Oh yes, my friends, it's Cliff from Cheers: John Ratzenberger. Cliff Claven will be all dressed up in ballroom gear. The visual is just too wonderful.

The show tried to get Cliffy in the first place, but he had a scheduling conflict that has apprently been resolved. Ratzenberger is 59 and Pastore, who is 60, cited the physical demands of the show as his reason for quitting. Hopefully Ratzenberger is in better shape than Pastore. I mean, if Jerry Springer can do it....

Edyta Sliwinska will be Ratzenberger's partner will be Edyta Sliwinska when the show premieres on March 19.
