My vote for surprising standout has gotta go to James Van Der Beek, who played a parodied version of himself in the only television show that has ever actually brought me joy, Don’t Trust the B in Apartment 23. I mention that program instead of, Dawson’s Creek or that show where he played Diplo because on Don’t Trust the B, Van Der Beek actually competes on Dancing with the Stars. What is art? What is reality? Will this finally convince me to watch a dancing program?
Dancing with the Stars Season 28 premieres September 16.
