Leah Remini’s fill-in gig on "Dancing With the Stars" has some fans calling for the salty and sassy former "King of Queens" star to replace co-host Erin Andrews.
Remini shook things up on the Latin night-themed live show and told E! News ahead of the show that she hoped ABC had a delay because she planned to speak her mind.
Here’s a rundown of Remini’s antics while co-host Andrews is on assignment for ESPN covering the World Series:
• Teased Mean Girls star Jonathan Bennett for making animated faces while waiting for scores and receiving critiques. After mimicking the actor’s bug-eyed expression, Remini encouraged the rest of the "DWTS" cast to "give me the eyes," which they did. Bennett ended up being eliminated.
• Quizzed "Pretty Little Liars" star Janel Parrish and dance partner Val Chmerkovskiy about a possible romance. After rolling tape of the pair having an argument during rehearsal, Remini instructed the couple to "go fool around."
• Dressed down Antonio Sabato Jr. and Cheryl Burke after their salsa fell short, telling the heartthrob: "The least you could have done was take off your shirt! Take it off now! Do something right!"
Most "DWTS" fans on Twitter seemed to like the blunt approach.
