Yep, you heard it right, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak is listed amongst the contestants for this years “Dancing with the stars”. ABC officially announced the cast list for Season 8 of their reality TV show Dancing with the Stars and Steve Wozniak is one of them.
A Silicon Valley icon and philanthropist for the past three decades, Steve Wozniak, a.k.a. “The Woz,” helped shape the computer industry with his design of Apple’s first line of products, the Apple I and II, and influenced the popular Macintosh. After leaving Apple Computer Inc. in 1985, Wozniak was involved in various business and philanthropic ventures, focusing primarily on computer capabilities in schools and stressing hands-on learning and encouraging creativity for students. In 2000, he was inducted into the Inventors Hall of Fame and was awarded the prestigious Heinz Award for Technology, The Economy and Employment. Wozniak is also a published author with the release of his New York Times Best Selling autobiography, iWoz: From Computer Geek to Cult Icon, in September 2006.
Wozniak’s bio on the site notes his work with Apple and his philanthropy in education, but seems to ignore that this is not The Woz’s first brush with celebrity; Wozniak briefly dated comedian Kathy Griffin of the show My Life on the D-List a couple of years ago. Look like Apple’s co-founder really love the limelight.
Dancing with the Stars is a reality-based program pairs celebrities with professional ballroom dancers, and viewers cast their votes for their favorites.
The new season will begin this March so be sure to catch Steve Wozniak strut his stuff on national television.
