Jews Nate Bloom Special to the Jewish News Keep On Dancin' The 12 celebrities who will appear on the next round of the hit ABC series Dancing with the Stars, premiering 8 p.m. Monday, March 17, have been Steve announced. Three Guttenberg are Jewish: actor Steve Guttenberg (Police Academy), 49; Martee Matlin, the Oscar-win- ning deaf actress who is now on Showtime's The L Word, 42; and Marissa Jaret Winokur, 35, who won a Tony playing the lead role in the original Broadway musical version of Hairspray. Expect Matlin's deafness to attract C2 March 6 • 2008 a lot of interest and comments. Personally, I'm intrigued at how well she will be able to dance without being able to hear the music. Other celebs on the show this sea- son include Adam Carolla, Priscilla Presley, Shannon Elizabeth, Penn Gillette, Monica Seles and Kristi Yamaguchi. Former Beverly Hills 90210 co- star Ian Ziering, 43, competed on Dancing last year and finished fourth. The show helped rekindle a little public interest in the actor and no doubt lead to his job as the host of the new Lifetime cable show Your Mama Don't Dance, airing 9 p.m. Fridays. This show's gimmick is that 10 pro dancers – five men and five women – will dance with their real-life par- ent of the opposite gender. In the words of the series' publicity release: "[It] explores the sometimes love- hate but always complicated rela- tionship between kids and their par- ents. These dancers will be counting on their parents to learn the moves to help them realize their dreams, while their parents will undoubtedly feel the pressure to work harder than ever to keep in step and not let their kids down." Black Is Back Lewis Black, 59, became a hot comic at a much older age than most come- dians. He was raised in a middle- class Jewish home, was a bar mitz- vah and earned a master's degree from the Yale School of Drama. He started out as a playwright. About 10 years ago, he began to break big with an HBO comedy special. Shortly thereafter, he began doing his "angry man" rants on Jon Stewart's The Daily Show on Comedy Central. Black's comedy is acer- bic but ultimately moralistic, and his anger is literate, as opposed to just stu- Lewis Black pid or vicious. Black's new Comedy Central series, Root of All Evil, is tailored to fit his style. The show pits two people, such as Paris Hilton and Dick Cheney, or pop- culture topics, such as YouTube vs. porn, against each other in an open debate setting. A rotating group of comedians will take the stage and argue who or what is most evil, with Black making the final decision between the two. Root of All Evil premieres 10:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 12.
