David Alan Grier is leaving the "Dancing With the Stars" ballroom.
The 53-year-old comedian was eliminated from the hit ABC show Tuesday despite having improved his score by two points during the last-chance dance-off.
Grier and professional partner Kym Johnson earned 24 points out of 30 for their Viennese Waltz Tuesday, beating Lawrence Taylor in the dance-off duel by four points. Judges praised the pair's improvement, but fans failed to keep the couple in the competition.
The votes of viewer are combined with judges' scores to determine which couple is eliminated each week. After learning his fate, he said the best part about appearing on the hit ABC show was getting to know his fellow contestantvs.
Fans apparently spared the show's lowest scorer, reality star Steve-O, from elimination. He and professional partner Lacey Schwimmer earned just 18 points for their pantomime-inspired Viennese Waltz Monday, but escaped Tuesday's dance-off.
Results of Tuesday's show also featured appearances by a legend and a teen sensation. Etta James performed her signature classic, "At Last," and Disney star Demi Lovato sang her new single, "La La Land."
