Rev. Al Sharpton

He has been offered a spot on "DWTS" at least twice, but Rev. Al Sharpton is just too busy. Of a 2008 "DWTS" decline, the civil rights activist told Newsweek, "There are enough black people dancing on TV without me."

In 2011, Sharpton told TMZ, "I just turned them down again. You have to have your priorities." He added that he enjoyed doing a one-night stint on "Saturday Night Live," but "Dancing With the Stars" is too much of a time commitment, because it goes on for "weeks and weeks."
