The 47-year-old comedian and his 27-year-old professional dance partner were eliminated during week seven of the competition on Tuesday, Apr. 30, after feeling “berated” by the judges. “We’re sad . . . but it’s okay,” Dick told reporters after being sent home. “We are proud of what we did here.” How did he fight back tears? “By clenching my jaw!
