Getty Sean Spicer arrives at Dancing with the Stars cast reveal.
Before his performance even started, there was a lot of talk about Spicer’s costume for the show. Bright green with bouncy sleeves, it’s hard to miss the former press secretary. Twitter users were quick to chime in with their thoughts.
Spicer stars out recapping his time in the White House. He echoes the fact that he feels like its time to show another side of himself. He is paired with Lindsay Arnold; the dancer is interested in forming her own opinion. He must have known what he was getting himself into. The New Yorker mentions a sequence that the producer asked to film for the show.
A producer wanted to shoot a reel of Spicer and his partner rehearsing, to use on the show. He filmed Spicer putting on his knee pads, which were dinged from days of practice.
Triple the spice in this Salsa! 🌶 #DWTS @seanspicer

Fan Reaction:
Reactions were mixed, no doubt in part because of his political past.
Would I be a bad person if I secretly hoped that @seanspicer broke both of his legs competing on #DWTS?
