Dukes of Hazzard star, John Schneider Surprises In Dancing With The Stars

Known for his roles in “The Dukes Of Hazzard” and “Smallville”, John Schneider is no stranger to live television. In fact, at aged 58, he’s the oldest of this year’s Dancing With The Stars celebrities. When he was first approached by DWTS, several years prior, he turned the opportunity down. This television talent was nervous that his dancing skills weren’t going to be good enough. Since then, he’s put his fears behind him and realized that live TV is his strength.

"I have no fear of live television because I've done it for 40 years. In fact, live television makes me bigger. … I'm just a big ham."

Coming back to his roots in music, John and dance partner Emma, skillfully danced their way into the hearts of America with a foxtrot to none other than the “theme from Dukes of Hazzard (Good Ol’ Boys)”. When the dancing began, of course, it was John that gave his signature “Yeee-Haw”. Fittingly, John (aka “Bo Duke”) then slid across the hood of a Dodge Charger before beginning his smooth country boy moves on the dance floor!

Dressed in head-to-toe denim, the couple showed that John not only plans to dance but has a little athleticism hiding in his back pocket! While it may not have been the most technically proficient of all the competitor’s dances, the most important word Jon and Emma could hear was “safe”!

They are through to the next round and looking to gain some more fans in the future!
