I know I said I was ceasing watching The Celebrity Apprentice after Trump fired Mark McGrath rather than Gary Busey.
I did not get to see the actual firing of McGrath or hear Trump's reasoning, due to a weather drama intervention.
And I forgot to stop my DVR from recording Trump's show.
And so I watched Gary Busey get fired. And LaToya Jackson, last week.
But, I did not get to see Hope Dworaczyk get fired this week due to NBC interupted with an announcement from the White House. This happened with about a half hour to go on the show. The DVR recording ran out before Obama finally went on the air to announce that Osama had been killed.
I had to go to the Internet to see who Trump fired.
The episode started with NeNe Leakes in full Real of Housewives of Atlanta mode, shouting at Star Jones. In front of Trump.
The challenge had something to do with hair.
At some point LaToya Jackson showed up at Trump's office to ask to be un-fired. Then in the boardroom LaToya made a dramatic entrance, with Trump announcing she was now on the men's team. Trump then asked LaToya about NeNe and what LaToya thought of Star Jones and Hope Dworaczyk. LaToya pretty much sounded verbatim just like NeNe regarding Star and Hope.
It was shortly after the entry of LaToya that NBC broke away for the incoming important announcement.
There is some conspiracy talk on the Interwebs speculating that Obama timed messing with Trump's show due to Trump's recent messing with Obama. The conspiracy theorists don't seem to consider that it was everything running on TV, at that particular time, that got messed with. Do they really think that Obama would be that diabolically mean, just to mess with Donald Trump's tv show?

A Disturbing Donald Trump Fires Mark McGrath Rather Than Gary Busey on The Celebrity Apprentice
When I last mentioned The Celebrity Apprentice I said I'd not watch the celebrity iteration of this show before.
I have now watched my last episode of The Celebrity Apprentice.
The challenge was to create a marketing gimmick for Australian Gold Lotion products.
As he has been in all 4 episodes I watched, Gary Busey was a cringe causing creep.
On the latest episode Gary Busey was at his most cringe causing creepiness.
In the Boardroom all of Gary Busey's teammates made it expressly clear how disruptive Gary Busey was to their team effort. The Australian Gold executives specifically told Trump that Busey bugged them.
So, who does Trump fire?
Mark McGrath.
Now, I did not get to see the firing because the Dallas NBC affiliate felt it was important to break in on the last 10 minutes of The Celebrity Apprentice to inform viewers, in graphic, exhaustive detail, that a tornado might touch down somewhere in North Texas.
Watching Mark McGrath it was quite obviously clear that he is a very smart, very well mannered, very socially appropriate, very articulate, very likeable guy. Did Trump fire McGrath because he has a tattoo? Trump seems a bit fixated on tattoos.
Watching Gary Busey it was quite obviously clear that this guy, despite what Trump thinks, is no genius. Gary Busey has some rather disturbing problems and really is not good Reality TV Fodder. Not even on something like Celebrity Re-hab. He is just disturbing.
I really think Donald Trump heeds to disabuse himself of the notion that he is U.S. presidential material. By "he" I mean Donald Trump, not Gary Busey. Well, actually, both need to disabuse themselves of any notion they are presidential material.
And what has gone wrong with NBC? The Celebrity Apprentice was the only show I was watching on NBC. Why is NBC so starved for material that they put on the air a two hour long bloated mess like The Celebrity Apprentice?
NBC used to be the home of Must See TV on Thursday nights, with Top 10 shows like Friends, Seinfeld and ER. And now, in 2011, NBC does not have a single TV show in the Nielsen's Top 20.
I must remember to cancel my DVR's scheduled recording of The Celebrity Apprentice.
