THE FAPPENING RANDOM DANCE APPELING

Dancing With the Stars Season 23 Celebs Announced—But Did 5 Random People Know Who They Are?

Thanks to Ryan Lochte and Laurie Hernandez, two Olympians fresh off the 2016 Rio games, Dancing With the Stars season 23 may have two of its most famous faces yet… and then there are the other 11 contestants. That's not to say the remaining Stars aren't famous in their own right, but they don't necessarily have that immediate name recognition. How do we know? We asked people.
E! News asked five random people—a lawyer, a police officer, a DWTS superfan, a former entertainment reporter and a theme park attractions host—to identify the cast without googling, just based on their names.
So, just how famous is the Dancing With the Stars cast? Let's find out…
