The NBC series The Celebrity Apprentice, which aired from January through March, featured a screwball cast of stars, including Carol Alt, Marilu Henner, and Stephen Baldwin. But it was Kiss's Gene Simmons who stole the show and displayed the most resourcefulness. In one episode, he came up with an idea that sold $52,000 worth of hot dogs. Simmons was subsequently fired by Donald Trump after losing a challenge that involved marketing color printers. "I think we succeeded, and the client didn't recognize it," Simmons said.
