I do a slightly different rendition than Frank did.
I think we might do a combination of the two.

And that was our contract, six weeks, and we just announced our 11th year.
WhatDancing with the Starsdid is open up a new multi-generational audience for us.
We have eight dancers and a full orchestra.
And of course I rub in Maries face every night that I won and she lost.
I mean its justscathing.
And then Marie comes out and she just rips me a new one and the audience absolutely loves it.
Its funny, its compelling, the whole show is extremely entertaining.
We put zingers in every night, sometimes it changes nightly and its fun.
In my opinion, this is what show business is all about.
Yes, its a lot of eye candy, everybody wants eye candy nowadays.
We give that to them.
Thats what I love about it.
I feel sorry for the 12 now.
I had a broken toe, a cracked rib and a fused neck but I got that trophy.
Where is the trophy?Its in the lobby of the Flamingo in a glass case.
Is protected by a guard so Marie doesnt steal it.
To be honest with you, its one of the biggest moments of my career.
Its almost like I own of piece of it.
I guess I do.
Dancing with the Starsairs Monday and Tuesday nights at 8 p.m.
ET on ABC until next week, when it just airs on Mondays.
