Todd Palin, the husband of former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, may follow in the footsteps of his daughter and dance on ABC’s Dancing With the Stars, according to multiple sources including E! Online.

Bristol Palin, his daughter, made it to the finals and was a weekly fan favorite throughout her entire tenure on the show despite often receiving low scores from judges.

"They want him big time," a source told E! "They'd love Sarah, but they don't think that will ever happen, so why not go for the dad."

Jennifer Grey won the top honors during the latest season of the show.

Fox News reports that Meghan McCain, the daughter of Senator John McCain, may also be tapped to appear on the wildly successful dance program.

A spokesperson from Dancing With the Stars told E! "no comment" on the potential casting.
