Jonathan Van Nesshas high hopes that hisQueer EyecostarKaramo Browncan waltz his way to aDancing With the Starswin.
“I know that Karamo can dance, honey,” Van Ness says. “I think that he’s gonna bring it … He can really dance. I mean, watch ourLip-Sync Battleepisode. He brings it when it comes to the choreo.”
While he promises to be one of Brown’s biggest fans, Van Ness does admit that his hectic schedule may prevent him from actually watching Brown, 38, compete.

“I’ll be on tour as soon asQueer Eyeis over, my book’s coming out, so I’m going to be all over the place,” he says. “I mean, I really will not be in L.A. very much, so I’m going to have to like, FaceTime in or something.”
Brown, the culture expert on the Netflix series, wasannounced as a season 28 cast memberon the ABC competition series last week.
While he initially expressed excitement over joiningDWTS, he caught backlash strong enough to make him delete his Twitter account after hesaid he was looking forwardto having “respectful conversations” with fellow contestant Sean Spicer.
Spicer’sinclusion in the castsparked outrage among fans, as the political aide was widely disgraced after he used the White House press podium to lie and attack journalists during his tenure. He resigned in 2017 after months of tension with President Donald Trump.
“First, I have no say who is on the cast and didn’t find out till this morning that he is on!” Brown tweeted on Wednesday in response to a fan who said they were “disappointed” in Brown for “lending his celebrity to this.”
“But I’ll tell you this… I’m excited to sit down w/ him and engage in respectful conversations,” he continued. “Only way things get better is if we try to educate those who have different POV than us.”
