Jaleel White and Kym Johnson Talk "DWTS" Elimination on "Kimmel" (VIDEO)
05/2/2012


Following their shock elimination from "Dancing With The Stars" Tuesday night Jaleel White and his partner Kym Johnson stopped by "Jimmy Kimmel Live".

All Jimmy Kimmel really wanted to know was, why didn't White do "The Urkel" on "DWTS".





White joked that the competition was too intense:

"Did you see Will Levy out there, man? Where was there a chance for me to do that? These guys were taking their shirts off, keepin’ it sexy!"


He said he'd been saving his signature moves for the freestyle round but, "I waited too long."

I'm glad he didn't because he would looked like a complete FOOL at the age of 36 doing something in 2012 he did on a show when he was 15

I agree. I like Jaleel White as the mature man he has become. He really would have looked completely silly doing the Urkel dance. I think he did very well on DWTS.

I was sad to see him go too bad he didn't have more people voting for him.

Maybe that story from the ex-girlfriend played a role in the votes

I forgot, it maybe posted in the reality tv show fourm but it was negative. I think it had something to do with him hitting her

^ I found a little piece of what she said according to People and Star magazine.

Bridget Hardy says in an interview with Star magazine that White verbally and physically abused her in 2010. She alleges "he hit me across the chest area" and "pushed me into toilet," causing it to break.

Yup so that probably played a role in the votes

Yes, I'm sure that turned a lot of voters off.

I like that football guy on DWTS...Donald Driver and I also like that Katherine Jenkins lady. They both dance better than Jaleel anyway.
