The Celebrity Apprentice 2 Premieres

On the new season of NBC’s Celebrity Apprentice, the contestants will be split into two groups. It will be the men: Herschel Walker, Jesse James, Scott Hamilton, Clint Black, Andrew Dice Clay, Brian McKnight, Dennis Rodman, and Tom Green, versus the women: Annie Duke, Joan Rivers, Melissa Rivers, Brande Roderick, Claudia Jordan, Khloe Kardashian, Natalie Gulbis, and Tionne Watkins. Donald Trump tells them they will be doing battle - for charity. He instructs them to go back to Trump Tower and choose their team name and their project manager. For the ladies, project manager will be Joan Rivers, and the name will be Team Athena. For the men, the project manager will be Herschel Walker, and the name will be Kotu (King of the Universe).

The teams report back to the Trumps to report their decisions. Donald tells them that their first Celebrity Apprentice assignment is going to be to create and sell cupcakes on the streets of New York! The team to make the most money will prevail. After Andrew Dice Clay complains about the lack of food in their rooms, Donald ignores him and announces that his son, Don, will go with the women, and his daughter, Ivanka, will go with the men.

As the men try to decide on a game plan, they agree that Andrew Dice Clay is the king of New York, and they need to take advantage of that, in fact, they feel that Kotu has more recognizable celebrities than Athena overall! The women of Celebrity Apprentice bicker about Joan’s suggestion that they locate on the east side. Annie points out that on last season the hot-dog sellers were criticized for going to Penn Station. Brande offers that the entire Playboy building is willing to come out to help if they locate near there! Annie alienates the group by calling her friend Tony to come and buy cupcakes to make her look good. Back in the men’s room, Jesse James is offering to amp up the truck, thereby making a contribution to the effort.
