TV’s Funniest Lady Puts Her Dancing Shoes On!

If anyone were ever poised to mop up the competition on the dance floor, it would have to be the host of a show called Clean House. That’s Niecy Nash!

“I'm excited to join Dancing with the Stars!  I've been a fan of the show and to now be a cast member on the show is a little surreal.  I'm looking forward to it,” states Nash.  The new season begins March 22 on ABC.

The popular host and producer of the Style Network’s home makeover show, Clean House, Nash is a two-time 2009 Daytime Emmy nominee and the new Celebrity Panelist for the entertainment news program The Insider.

She recently won a 2010 Gracie Award for her well-known role as no-nonsense Officer Raineesha Williams on the Comedy Central hit Reno 911! and it’s spin-off film Reno 911: Miami.

In 2008, Nash starred in her own FOX comedy series, Do Not Disturb. She is also well-known for her recurring role on the comedy series The Bernie Mac Show.
An in-demand actor, her most recent film work includes Not Easily Broken and the Walt Disney Pictures’ G-Force. Additionally, Nash is developing various television and film projects through her own production company, Chocolate Chick, Inc.
The proud mother of three adoring children, when asked what her hobbies are, Nash proudly replies, "motherhood," which she considers her greatest success in life.
Recently, Nash spoke to Talk2SV’s Sandra Varner about her latest endeavor --

Sandra Varner (Talk2SV): You may have an advantage that some won't: children at home who can help you with the dance moves.  Is dancing something that you've always done?

Nash:  I've always loved to dance.  I'm not a trained dancer but I guess I'm what you would call a "street dancer."  I grew up doing all of the popular dances of the day.  I have rhythm and I love to move.

Talk2SV:  You are a well-known entity coming into Dancing with the Stars (DWTS), how will this alter your career track?

Nash:  This will not alter my career at all.  I believe I can have a career that encompasses a myriad of things.  I'm an actress, a host, a comedian, a producer, and now - a dancer!

Talk2SV:  DWTS is one of the sexiest shows on TV; does that intimidate you or challenge your inner diva?

Nash:  I love that "Dancing with the Stars" is a sexy show... in fact, that's what attracted me to it in the first place!  I love that I'll get to wear beautiful custom-designed dresses, get all dolled up in hair and makeup.  It's a diva's dream!

Talk2SV:  DWTS is physically demanding.  Are you up for the challenge?
