The Dice Man Goeth

Sunday, March 1st, 2009, was the debut of the latest season of Donald Trump's Celebrity Apprentice, in which Donald Trump, allegedly genius billionaire businessman, fired the one and only reason I was half way thinking of giving the show a chance.

Of course, I guess you could say Trump had valid reasons when he fired Andrew Dice Clay.

The Diceman was playing for the charity known as Standup For Kids. Evidently, he took exception to his Brooklyn pals seeing him on the tube baking cupcakes in a funny little baker's hat. Clay has his values, after all. As seen in the following clip, image is everything to him.



Now if Trump had focused the contest on, say, who could make the best prank phone calls, Andrew Dice Clay would have probably won hands down.

Andrew Dice Clay is from another world than Donald Trump.

Everybody is from another world than the one that gave us Donald Trump, who is in fact still on that world.

I get your point though. I think the whole thing was made up ahead of time to drag viewers in, as Clay was one of the most heavily promoted of this year's contestants, yet his firing obviously took place well before the promotional trailers.

I think Clay knew going into it that he would be the first one let go. Trump was just trying to give him a leg up to help him get his career back on track, but probably figured he would be too big a distraction and too controversial long-term for the shows good. He probably figured having both Clay and Dennis Rodman on the show long-term would be asking for trouble. Rodman will probably go the distance.

I think he should have kept them both, even if it would have looked obvious. There could have been some real fireworks. I would have watched it with Clay, now I won't.
