In 2011, White showed off his dance skills in the video for Cee Lo Green's "Cry Baby." And those skills came in handy when White signed on to participate on the dance-competition show Dancing with the Stars in 2012. Competing against former co-star Gladys Knight,
reality television star Victoria Gotti and actress Melissa Gilbert, among others, White was voted off of the show during its seventh week.
Also in 2012, White began hosting a new game show, Total Blackout, on the Syfy Network. He has other projects in the works as well, including developing a screenplay for the big screen.
