Skating with the Stars on ABC – Johnny Weir Maybe?

Like “Dancing,” “Skating with the Stars” will find stars competing live and in front of a panel of judges who will rate their performances.
Just in time for winter, the six-episode show will premiere on Monday, November 22 on ABC. The cast of the new reality show will be unveiled on November 2.
“Skating with the Stars” isn’t the first ice skating celeb competition to hit the U.S.
A similar program, “Skating with Celebrities” appeared on FOX in 2006. Among the stars who competed on that program included “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” patriarch Bruce Jenner, former “Full House” funnyman Dave Coulier and actress Kristy Swanson, who famously became involved with her then-married dancing partner, Lloyd Eisler. – Source
Skating definitely seems a bit more dangerous than dancing. Although, considering the number of injuries on Dancing with the Stars, maybe I’m wrong.
Looks like it’s going to be on during the Holiday Break when there’s not much on TV. So, I’ll probably watch it. What can I say? I love reality TV. It’s really entertaining.
The real question is who will be the professional skaters on the show. I’m guessing Johnny Weir. Maybe Kristi Yamaguchi since she has the DWTS tie in.
Anyone know where we can see footage of the previous skating star competition on Fox?

Oh, I wish I knew where you can find some old footage of the skating/celebrity show on Fox. I loved that show…and then wham, they cancelled it. grrr I hope this new show will be able to make it. Just like dancing, I’ve always loved ice skating. This would be good attention for the pro iceskaters out there like with the pro dancers on DWTS. I’d love to see Katarina Witt and Brian Biotono be involved….and yes Johnny Weir. Now that would make my dancing dreams come true. I’ll be watching their tweets closely for anything mentioned on it. Thnanks for posting on this. I’ve got my calendar marked. This will be fun until the X-Factor and the next Season of DWTS.
I forgot about Katarina Witt. She was hot. I remember liking her as a little kid. I actually liked Tanya Harding too until she ruined it all.
Scott Hamilton would have been great, but he’s probably not able to do it now.
Watch for Evan Lysacek to get the nod too since he was on DWTS.
