Dancing with the Stars Season 19 Cast, News, and Updates: ABC Officially Announces Celebrity Cast 

Today on Good Morning America live from Times Square, Co-hosts Tom Bergeron and Erin andrews officially announced the celebrity cast of Dancing with the Stars Season 19. The competitors will battle it out on the dancefloor to win it all. One of the notable members of the cast has to be Alfonso Ribeiro who starred in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. He was well-known in the show for doing his variation of the Charlton. "We will absolutely give the fans what they would love to see, which is the Carlton dance," says Ribeiro on Good Morning America.

Another notable figure in the mix is former UFC Champion Randy Couture who will be an interesting competitor to watch on the show, much like waiting for a lion to prance instead of pounce. Track and Field Olympian Lolo Jones and race car driver Maichael Waltrip are also the other athletes joining this season. Fresh faced stars Janel Parrish of Pretty Little Liars and Bethany Mota of YouTube fame brings in the youthful contrast to the other celebrity competitors. A legend in the comedy world, Tommy Chong of Cheech and Chong may prove that comedians can also move their legs and not just their witty mouths. General Hospital actor Antonio Sabato Jr. and Mean Girls star Jonathan Bennett may just bring in more female audiences to watch them move their desirable bodies into the stage with much charm.
