in january 2006, mayne participated in the second season of abc's "dancing with the stars" with partner andrea hale, but after a disastrous cha-cha, mayne was the first contestant to be eliminated. in an interview with brian falvey in the spring of 2007, mayne joked that he left the 2006 rose bowl at halftime to get up early the next day to practice for "dancing with the stars". subsequent seasons have seen mayne return to the show for "dancecenter", a parody of "sportscenter", alongside former contestant jerry rice and judge len goodman. "dancecenter" appears on the results show night of the week in which either five or six contestants remain.
