Flavor Flav has big plans for a reality TV comeback. Nearly 20 years after the end of his TV dating series Flavor of Love, he wants to get back in front of the cameras.
At Steven Tyler’s Grammy Awards viewing party on February 1, the rapper announced his intention to return to television. “I am getting ready to do another reality TV show, but it’s going to be bigger than Flavor of Love,” he shared. “It’s not going to be a dating concept [since] I have already … done that.”
“I want to come back with something bigger and better,” he added, “something that’s going to have me lasting on TV longer. I got something in the works … and this is a show that I’ll be able to do until my death.”
Should Flavor Flav compete on Dancing with the Stars?
But Flav’s secret project might not be his only TV opportunity in the near future. After his stint as a guest judge on Dancing with the Stars for Season 34’s Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Night, Flav claims the show wants him back. But not as a judge. This time, he says, they actually want him to return as a contestant.
“They want me to come back and dance,” he told People. “I don’t know. I might do it if I think I could do it.”
But when the interviewer asked if he thought he could do it, the 6-time Grammy nominee quipped, “No, no, I don’t.” After all, the man is 66 years old. The knee joints aren’t what they used to be.
Even though he admitted enjoying himself as a guest judge, he confessed that he didn’t really know what he was doing. As a non-dancer, the Public Enemy star attempted to score the dancers on “precision.”
“I looked for the perfect timing,” he said at the time. “You know what I’m saying? And I looked for the perfect teamwork. Each one of these couples tonight had all that and more.”
Dancing with the Stars is now streaming on Disney+.
