Jeffrey Ross First to Go on ‘Dancing with the Stars’

Sep 24, 2008 at 10:29am

Comedian and Roast Master extraordinaire Jeffrey Ross was voted off Dancing with the Stars making him the first star to dance his way off the show.

Ross told Us: “I’m heartbroken…I really loved learning to dance. I was confident by the time we got to the routines.”

Confidence aside, the funnyman was working with a handicap even more debilitating than Kim Kardashian‘s. During rehearsals, partner Edyta Sliwinska had accidentally poked the comedian’s eye and scratched his cornea.

Hopefully the bum eye spared him the vision of Cloris Leachman‘s liverspotted cleavage. No doubt many viewers poked their own eyes out after that.

Despite this defeat, Ross vows to keep on dancing. “I was born to dance!” he told Us. “Don’t worry, I’ll keep dancing!”

Dancing is all well and good but don’t stop making jokes, Jeffrey. Plenty of leading men are envious of your comedic chops.
