| Celebrity Apprentice | Entry #654236 |
OK. I confess, I watched this last season of Celebrity Apprentice with Clint Black and Joan Rivers. I watched the first 2 or 3 seasons of The Apprentice before I couldn't stand any more of Trump. Overexposure, I suppose. Arrogance and self-importance only goes so far.
I don't want to watch it again, I think I heard it's not coming back, unless some really outstanding guests do the show. Trump's son just doesn't look right, and his daughter tolerates her father's chauvinism like it's okay. But I heard a song today by Vince Gill who hasn't done much new lately. For some reason, i thought he'd make an interesting apprentice finalist. Then I thought why wouldn't I put together the whole team?
Instead of gamblers and Playboy bunnies, I would choose people for odd reasons, too. Ben Stein, Vince Gill, Tim Allen, Regis Philbin, Alex Trebek, Howie Mandel (just so he'd stop that stupid "Howie Do It"), Nancy Grace.
Maria Shriver would be too dignified; Katie Couric, too busy; Whoopi Goldberg, too expensive. Also, too pricey would be Billy Bob, Brad, Clooney, or McCartney, though all would be interesting. Maybe William Shatner would do it, just to show off. Tyler Perry, Wayne Dwyer, and John Grisham would be intelligent, cool-headed contenders. To be true to the nature of the show and its profit-making producers, George Lopez and Jeff Black for the jokes; unless they surprise us, they'd be fired early for their antics. Terry Bradshaw, now there's a strongly opionated person. Eric Braeden. Darrell Waltrip. Vanessa Williams.
Throw in a few lesser known, brainy people for education, and one or two young people for sensationalism.
Put all those strong personalities in one place and ask them to work together. Wow, what the dynamics might be. Maybe they'd get along for the sake of the charity, but it would interesting to see their character and creativity work out. How would such powerful people (each has his or her own kind of power) work out their differences? And the winner would be hard to predict. But the entertainment. Well, it was a way to pass 15 minutes. |
