dance-off on

It’s so on…

ABC programming chief Steve McPherson is so talented he can come up with a great stunt-programming idea while simultaneously fending off a couple hundred rabid TV critics.

The network announced yesterday that John O’Hurley and Kelly Monaco will go mano a mano on a 90-minute dance competition special, “Dancing With the Stars: Dance-Off” on Sept. 20 — the first Tuesday of the new TV season.

O’Hurley, you’ll recall, outdanced other C-list celebrities such as former model Rachel Hunter and ex-boy-bander Joey McIntyre in the summer series “Dancing With the Stars,” but he was robbed of its Really Ugly Trophy in the final episode by ABC daytime hussy Monaco.

Recall my own outrage from earlier this summer….
