10. Christina Applegate: A dumb, sexy blonde? For years, Applegate brought ditzy Kelly Bundy to life - but her real fans know that the current star of "Samantha Who?" is also a Broadway veteran. In addition to her Tony-nominated work in "Sweet Charity," she's a founding member of the Pussycat Dolls, and has long studied jazz and dance. If the opportunity to strut her stuff on national TV was presented to Applegate, we're thinking she'd move faster than Al Bundy's hand down a pair of unbuttoned pants.

9. Jack Black: He's got the charm of Harry Hamlin, the energy of Leeza Gibbons, and the size of Vincent Pastore. But don't let the "School of Rock" star's plus-sized body frame fool you; much like Chris Farley and John Belushi before him, Black's humor comes from the contrast between his flab and flexibility. We'd love to watch him go through the "Dancing" process, where he'd undoubtedly have a smart-ass quip to accompany every move. And thanks to "Nacho Libre," we can already imagine him in a stretchy dance outfit.

8. Randy Johnson: From Laila Ali to Helio Castroneves to Emmitt Smith, some of the most memorable "Dancing" stars have been professional athletes. Isn't it about time to get a 6-foot-10, notoriously surly, Hall of Fame-caliber baseball player nicknamed "The Big Unit" on the dance floor? He'd be perfectly paired with Edyta Sliwinska, who always seems to get the most masculine of dance partners; assuming he doesn't accidentally step on her, his redwood-like legs would seem like the perfect putty to be sculpted into a winner. This is a man who once killed a bird with a 100-mph fastball; imagine what he could do with a foxtrot.

7. Christopher Walken: From "Hairspray" to Fatboy Slim videos, this 64-year-old actor has shown over the past few years that he's still got all the right moves. He'd be a perfect choice to slide into that John O'Hurley/Wayne Newton/John Ratzenberger old guy role, and the sense of humor and insanity he's shown on episode after episode of "Saturday Night Live" would make him one of the most compelling personalities ever on the show. Pair him with Cheryl Burke, whose dancing style is every bit as unique as Walken's tendency to ignore punctuation in his scripts. We've got a fever, and the only prescription is Christopher Walken on the dance floor.

6. Sarah Silverman: She's funny, she's sexy, and she's f---cking Matt Damon. Well, OK, you could easily find an argument on all three points - but even Silverman's detractors would tune in to see if the foul-mouthed comedian could bring it on the dance floor.
