LOS ANGELES, April 8 (UPI) -- Comedian and actor David Alan Grier Tuesday night became the latest celebrity eliminated from "Dancing with the Stars" in Los Angeles.

"There's so much support and camaraderie backstage that it's really been awesome," E! Online quoted Grier as saying after he and his professional dance partner Kym Johnson learned their fate.

"My biggest goal was to try to make Kym proud," Grier added.

"I loved working with David and he's improved so much. He's done amazing. I'm very proud of him," Johnson said.
