dance your ass off host droppedmel b - dance your ass off

Dance Your Ass Off will have a new host this season. They gave Marisa Jaret Winokur the axe, and are replacing her with Spice Girl, Mel B.

Executive Producer of the show, Dan Cutforth announced at TCA: “Oxygen considered it a huge success. They looked at some things they wanted to change. Marissa was a fabulous host. She was great hosting the show and got great press, but they found in talking to the audience that there was a portion of the audience who loved her and a portion who didn’t connect with her. The core Oxygen audience grew up as Spice Girls fans, so they connect with Mel B.”

Wow, what a blow to Marisa! I think Mel will be a great new addition to the show, since they’re stepping it up a notch by hiring the Magical Elves. I’m excited to see Dance Your Ass Off 2.0. Just sucks for Marisa.

She’s made her way up the comedy ladder very quickly, and has become a club favorite at many of the country’s top comedy clubs, including the Improv chain. Performing in the Boston Comedy Festival and being noted as the “one of the youngest and brightest up and comers” and traveling to the Middle East to entertain the troops are just a few of her notable accomplishments.

    I would guess so, chooch. It looks like she got 2 cantaloupes transplanted onto her chest.
