Dancing with the Stars

Skating with the Stars is an American reality competition series that aired on ABC from November 22 to December 21, 2010. A spin-off of Dancing with the Stars hosted by British television personality Vernon Kay, it featured celebrities paired with professionals from the world of figure skating.

The show had a schedule similar to the first season of Dancing with the Stars with performance shows on Monday nights. On week 2, the pair with the lowest combined judges points and viewer votes was eliminated at the end of the show. All six episodes of the show were broadcast.[1][2][3][4][5] Johnny Weir, Dick Button, and Laurieann Gibson served as judges, while Tanith Belbin served as color commentator.[6]
