If anything about tonight's Celebrity Apprentice was learned, is that Aubrey O'Day is a ninny, Ivanka Trump is gorgeous but has terrible taste in dresses and Adam Carolla had no issues pointing out Lou Ferrigno's speech impediment.

Well, we say adieu to Carolla and Michael Andretti in a special two-fer on tonight's NBC series that sees on again, off again presidential King Maker Donald Trump sit in judgement over a group of wildly disparate stars.

Project Managers Adam Carolla and Debbie Gibson faced off on a task that saw the teams having to create a 20-minute presentation and Q&A session for Buick.

O'Day's trumped up tale of her mother's car accident had the audience misty-eyed. This was while she called the Buick Verano as the "Verona" and told porky pies.

On tonight's Celebrity Apprentice, Trump canned comedian Adam Carolla, the project manager for this week's Buick sponsorship challenge, who refused to select two teammates to join him the boardroom, Trump announced that he would fire two players.

That next celeb to take the fall was Michael Andretti, whom Trump expected to head up the new challenge. He refused and Buick was not pleased.
