Adam Rippon steps Behind The Rope. Adam is here to talk about his journey from Olympic Medalist to current Star on Mars in Fox’s newest Reality TV competition show. Adam talks being the first openly gay athlete from the US to win a medal, the rigorous training involved and how it all helped him prepare for the media career he has today. We talk Stars on Mars co-stars - Tom Schwartz and Porsha Williams, winning the Mirror Ball Trophy on Dancing With The Stars, hosting MTV’s Messiness with Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi and Tori Spelling and one of his proudest accomplishments ever, being labeled “Homosexual Who Names Britney Spears Song In One Note”.
