This week, comedian, actress and boisterous television personality Niecy Nash was voted off of the hit ABC show 'Dancing With the Stars.'
But like the old saying goes: when one door closes, another one opens.
Today, it was announced that Nash, whose real name is Carol Denise Ensley, received two Daytime Emmy nominations for her work as a producer and host of the hit Style Network series 'Clean House: The Messiest Home in the Country'; One for outstanding lifestyle program and another in the outstanding special class category.
So it comes as no surprise that the 40=year-old mother of three isn't sweating her recent 'Dancing With the Stars' elimination.
"This is a great time in my life and career," she told BV Newswire today. "I've been able to do a little bit of everything thus far: stand-up comedy, acting, hosting, producing. I feel very blessed to have had such a multifaceted career."
Nash, who is betting that either Evan Lysacek or Erin Andrews will take home this year's winner trophy, said that her time on the series was "an awesome experience from beginning to end."
She added, "I learned that I can dance! My partner, Louis Van Amstel, and I will be friends for life."
She has also nailed an upcoming gig that seems right up her alley.'The Clean House' and 'Reno 911' star will join '30 Rock' actor Cheyenne Jackson as co-host of the Logo 2010 NewNowNext Awards, which will make the move from to Los Angeles from New York City.
"I look forward to hosting the [show]. My co-host is so talented and very easy on the eyes, so I'm happy to share the stage with him. It's going to be fabulous," Nash said.
The 3-year old awards show highlights some of the biggest stars on the rise and the next big things in television, music, film, print and new media before they hit the mainstream. The June 17 event will take place in front of a live studio audience at Los Angeles hot spot Edison and also feature performances from Little Boots, Agnes and Dan Black.
But with the hosting gig, Nash is not looking to slow down on her television run anytime soon. "I know there's so much more for me to do," she revealed. After wrapping a recurring role on the CBS sitcom 'Gary Unmarried' earlier this year, she's looking to return to sitcoms.
"I had my own sitcom on FOX back in 2008 called 'Do Not Disturb.' It was short-lived, but I want to get a taste of the sitcom world again."
Nash also has high hopes of hosting a talk show and writing a book.
"I would love to revisit the silver screen and star in some movies. There's a delicious leading lady role with my name on it!"
Nash graces the cover of the June issue of Ebony magazine, which hits newsstands on May 18. She will resume her gig as a celebrity panelist on CBS's 'The Insider,' now that her run on 'Dancing With the Stars' has ended and, of course, return to her hit Style Network show 'Clean House: Search for the Messiest Home in the Country,' which airs Wednesdays at 10 p.m. ET/PT.

Niecy is a very hard worker.Don't know how she got the energy to do all that at once. Guess the money was motivator. Like her spirit.

That's what she get's for dissing Naomi Campbell during that fashion gala. I was hoping she would miss a step and fall, but I'm much happier she got sent home instead.
