‘Dancing With the Stars’ announces cast

ABC officially announced the Season 27 cast of “Dancing With the Stars” on Wednesday morning, and it had the regular assortment you might expect: actors, singers, former Olympic athletes, an NFL star, a social media sensation.

Plus, there were the inspiring stories: Paralympic skier Danelle Umstead is the show’s first blind dancer. Instagram model Alexis Ren is competing because the show was a favorite of her mom, who died of cancer.

Then, the audience saw perhaps the show’s first roast of host Tom Bergeron. As the cast gathered on “Good Morning America,” Bergeron asked comedian Nikki Glaser, known from her Comedy Central roasts, if she’ll take shots at any of her castmates or judges.

“The judges, my fate lies in their hands. But Tom, I can say a thing about: You’re like Dustin Hoffman but, like, a Men’s Wearhouse version,” Glaser said. “You’re like a Dustin Offman.”

The live audience gasped and cheered at that zinger. “Love you, Tom!” she added. “You only roast the ones you love, and I love Tom.”

“It’s a long season, and I’ve got a long memory,” Bergeron faux-growled, as “GMA’s” George Stephanopoulos and Michael Strahan cracked up next to him.

Here’s the complete cast list for this season, which kicks off Sept. 24:

• Joe Amabile, 31, “Bachelorette” and “Bachelor in Paradise” veteran (partnered with Jenna Johnson)
