Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak made his "Dancing With The Stars" debut last night and the results were.. well let's just say it was fun to see Woz get out there and try to dance. 'Try' being the operative word. But as one of the judges mentioned, the whole point of the competition is to get celebrities out of their comfort zone, and Woz seems to be welcoming the experience with open arms. In his intro clip yesterday, they even showed him going up and meeting his dance partner while riding a segway. When it was finally time to start dancing, Woz came out on stage wearing a pink boa and blowing kisses in a number of directions. Check out the video footage below, and I can only imagine what Steve Jobs must have thought had he been watching!

One of the judges, however, wasn't impressed and compared Woz's dancing technique to "a Teletubby going mad in a gay pride parade." Ouch! In a somewhat awkward exchange, the host of the show asked Woz what he should do when Safari 4 freezes up. Woz boldly stated, "restart the whole machine!" Funny stuff.
