Previously on The Celebrity Apprentice,

0:00:020:00:03

the final five were tasked with creating a print ad campaign

0:00:030:00:06

for the new Chi Touch hairdryer.

0:00:060:00:08

Good luck.

0:00:080:00:10

On Team Forte, project manager Lisa Lampanelli

0:00:100:00:13

and Clay Aiken felt confident.

0:00:130:00:15

We are so winning this, right, Clay?

0:00:150:00:17

-Uh, hello?!

-THEY LAUGH

0:00:170:00:20

And at the presentations, they were hot...

0:00:200:00:22

World's first touch-screen dryer,

0:00:220:00:24

we think that's obviously a huge selling point.

0:00:240:00:26

..but Teresa was not.

0:00:260:00:27

It's lightweight, helps reduce the risk...

0:00:270:00:31

It-It's lightweight and helps reduce the risk

0:00:310:00:33

of carpal tunnel...syndrome.

0:00:330:00:34

And she paid for it in the boardroom.

0:00:360:00:38

Teresa, you were the project manager.

0:00:380:00:40

You weren't great with respect to the presentation.

0:00:400:00:43

Teresa, you're fired.

0:00:430:00:45

But the evening was just getting started.

0:00:460:00:49

OK, folks. Mr Trump wants us back in the boardroom immediately.

0:00:490:00:52

Are you kidding me?

0:00:520:00:53

Congratulations. You've made it to the final four.

0:00:530:00:57

In the final four interviews,

0:00:570:00:58

Marlee Matlin questioned Arsenio Hall's character.

0:00:580:01:02

How did you get along with everybody?

0:01:020:01:04

I fought with Aubrey O'Day. I called her a couple of names.

0:01:040:01:08

And Lisa's history of emotional outbursts put her at risk.

0:01:080:01:12

You can lose your temper, you said.

0:01:120:01:14

You've cried in the boardroom. Is there crying in the boardroom?

0:01:140:01:17

John Rich thought Clay should've pushed harder.

0:01:170:01:20

There's been 13 tasks, but you've been project manager twice.

0:01:200:01:23

-Well, I think everyone...

-I was project manager four times.

0:01:230:01:26

And he questioned Aubrey's sincerity.

0:01:260:01:28

I've never looked at a day of this in a manipulative,

0:01:280:01:31

conniving or strategised way.

0:01:310:01:33

All right.

0:01:330:01:34

Back in the boardroom, Mr Trump made his first tough decision.

0:01:340:01:38

Lisa, they felt that you weren't in control of your emotions.

0:01:380:01:42

Lisa, you're fired.

0:01:420:01:44

Now, after 13 gruelling weeks, three are left awaiting their fate.

0:01:450:01:51

Arsenio's subtle but effective leadership has earned him two wins.

0:01:510:01:55

I love to hear the executives

0:01:550:01:56

sometimes before I start locking in on stuff.

0:01:560:01:58

'You can't ask someone to do something for you'

0:01:580:02:01

and then shut down their creative input.

0:02:010:02:04

'These are people who are here on this show

0:02:040:02:07

'because they're successful, creative entertainers.'

0:02:070:02:09

I got to let that out.

0:02:090:02:11

Clay has shown backbone throughout the competition.

0:02:110:02:13

If it can work, then let's work to make it work

0:02:130:02:16

instead of working to tear it down.

0:02:160:02:18

I think standing up for yourself is important

0:02:180:02:20

in this kind of setting.

0:02:200:02:21

I'm not a doormat.

0:02:210:02:23

And Aubrey has been a creative force week after week.

0:02:230:02:26

Opens. She's Donald Trump. She comes out on a horse, grandiose.

0:02:260:02:30

Boardroom, Donald Trump style but with the setting of the housewives.

0:02:300:02:33

'Whether you love me or hate me, the reality is'

0:02:330:02:36

I run circles around most people here.

0:02:360:02:38

Now one more celebrity will be fired and the two finalists will face off

0:02:380:02:43

to become the next celebrity apprentice.

0:02:430:02:46

# Money, money, money, money

0:02:510:02:54

# Money!

0:02:540:02:56

# Money, money, money, money

0:02:560:02:59

# Money!

0:02:590:03:01

# Some people got to have it

0:03:010:03:04

# Ye-eah

0:03:040:03:06

# Some people really need it

0:03:060:03:09

# Hey, listen to me, y'all

0:03:090:03:11

# Do things, do things, do things Bad things with it

0:03:110:03:15

# Dollar bills, y'all Come on

0:03:180:03:20

# That mean, oh, mean

0:03:200:03:24

# Mean green

0:03:240:03:27

# Almighty dollar now

0:03:270:03:29

# You know that money

0:03:290:03:32

# Give me a nickel, brother Can you spare a dime?

0:03:330:03:38

# Money can drive some people out of their minds

0:03:380:03:43

# Money, money, money

0:03:430:03:45

# No good, no good

0:03:450:03:46

# Money!

0:03:460:03:48

# Money, money, money, money

0:03:480:03:51

# Money! #

0:03:510:03:52

There are no losers in this room, that I can tell you.

0:04:000:04:05

Started off with 18 truly...

0:04:050:04:08

I mean, of the 18, every one of them was terrific.

0:04:080:04:11

And I think every one of them comes out terrifically,

0:04:110:04:13

but this is what we end up with.

0:04:130:04:16

So, Clay, give me a reason why I should have you in the finals?

0:04:160:04:20

I think that in addition to being a very hard worker,

0:04:200:04:24

every single week since we've been in here,

0:04:240:04:27

someone on our team,

0:04:270:04:28

whether it be on this team or the other team,

0:04:280:04:30

has considered me to be the strongest player on the team,

0:04:300:04:33

and in those weeks, I have been a part of the winning team

0:04:330:04:37

about 70% of the time.

0:04:370:04:38

So, being the strongest player on the team that has won the most,

0:04:380:04:42

I think puts me right up there at the top.

0:04:420:04:44

Why did John Rich consider you

0:04:440:04:46

to be possibly a follower and not a leader?

0:04:460:04:50

I really don't understand why he would.

0:04:500:04:52

I believe that I was the first male

0:04:520:04:54

in the entire show to actually step to someone and tell them

0:04:540:04:57

that I was unpleased with what they were doing,

0:04:570:04:59

and I did not stand down when Penn and I got into

0:04:590:05:03

a little bit of an altercation.

0:05:030:05:05

OK.

0:05:050:05:06

Why, Aubrey, should I have you and keep you

0:05:060:05:10

and bring you into the finals as opposed to Arsenio or Clay?

0:05:100:05:13

I feel like I'm the strongest player here.

0:05:150:05:19

I'm the ultimate underdog. I've seized every moment.

0:05:190:05:21

I have treated every task not as something to subtly get by

0:05:210:05:25

but to perform my best at.

0:05:250:05:27

I've treated every day like it is my last day here,

0:05:270:05:29

and I have made the most and done the most in all of the tasks.

0:05:290:05:33

And you have some quick mouthpiece.

0:05:330:05:35

-Thank you.

-That we have to say, right, Arsenio?

-Absolutely.

0:05:350:05:39

-So, Arsenio, boy, did you take heat for that language of yours.

-Yeah.

0:05:400:05:44

You took a lot of heat.

0:05:440:05:46

But I did what I think a man has to do,

0:05:460:05:49

and that's apologise and own what he's done and try to be forgiven.

0:05:490:05:52

Don't you hate it when somebody does something and a sort of say, like,

0:05:520:05:55

"Oh, you know, I made a mistake."

0:05:550:05:57

I watch these politicians, they make a mistake and then they grovel

0:05:570:06:00

and they, "Oh, I'm so sorry."

0:06:000:06:02

You know, it is what it is. Does that make sense to you, Clay?

0:06:020:06:05

Of course. You know, if you say something, you own up to it,

0:06:050:06:08

and I think Arsenio did that.

0:06:080:06:09

In this case, it was appropriate you apologised.

0:06:090:06:12

Yeah, I'm not running for office.

0:06:120:06:13

-I wanted to deal...

-Thank goodness...right?

0:06:130:06:17

I think you'd do well, by the way. Go ahead.

0:06:170:06:19

You know, a politician sometimes has to apologise

0:06:190:06:21

whether he believes it or not because he is in the public eye

0:06:210:06:26

and being voted for by people.

0:06:260:06:28

I apologised because even though I'll stand by why I was angry,

0:06:280:06:34

the language that I chose was inappropriate.

0:06:340:06:37

OK. I think you're right. It was inappropriate.

0:06:370:06:40

So, tell me, Arsenio, why should you be a finalist?

0:06:420:06:45

I should be a finalist because I'm a tireless worker

0:06:490:06:54

and I think if I got the Donald Trump stamp of approval,

0:06:540:07:00

I would spend the rest of my life trying to make you proud

0:07:000:07:03

and let you know that you did the right thing.

0:07:030:07:05

So, Aubrey, let me ask you this.

0:07:100:07:12

Marlee Matlin and John Rich felt that you are a good chess player

0:07:120:07:17

but a very inexperienced chess player and very transparent.

0:07:170:07:22

How do you feel about that?

0:07:230:07:25

I think that my performance here has shown otherwise.

0:07:260:07:29

I think that I'm very honest that I'm not a developed person.

0:07:290:07:33

-I don't think anyone here is.

-Well, you're very young.

0:07:330:07:36

Absolutely. And I'm comfortable not being developed.

0:07:360:07:38

In fact, I hope I die undeveloped

0:07:380:07:40

because I think that you never can have a day where you don't learn.

0:07:400:07:43

You know the way I look at it?

0:07:430:07:44

You have great beauty and great intelligence,

0:07:440:07:47

but I do have to listen to them, right?

0:07:470:07:50

You understand that, Aubrey.

0:07:500:07:51

-I think you should listen to yourself.

-Well, I do.

0:07:510:07:54

I mean, I do, but you always take in and you take in,

0:07:540:07:56

and you put it up here and then you make your decision, ultimately,

0:07:560:07:59

and you are transparent,

0:07:590:08:01

but I just think you're going to have a fantastic career.

0:08:010:08:05

Aubrey, you're fired.

0:08:050:08:07

-Thank you for this opportunity.

-Great job. Great job.

0:08:120:08:15

Thank you very much.

0:08:150:08:16

-'Whoever called me transparent,

-BLEEP

-them.

0:08:280:08:31

'I think of all the words I could be called,'

0:08:310:08:34

and many are true - transparent isn't the word.

0:08:340:08:36

There's nothing see-through about me.

0:08:360:08:39

I'm somebody that stands in your face

0:08:390:08:40

and is so bright and shines so big that you're either intimidated,

0:08:400:08:44

'you're annoyed or you're...'

0:08:440:08:48

in love.

0:08:480:08:50

-Congratulations.

-I am so happy.

0:08:570:08:59

You're finalists. Can you believe this?

0:08:590:09:02

All these weeks, all of this turmoil,

0:09:020:09:04

all of this work and you're finalists.

0:09:040:09:06

I'm having a little deja vu.

0:09:060:09:08

And this is...

0:09:080:09:10

I am not that heavy!

0:09:100:09:12

And you think this is tougher than American Idol.

0:09:120:09:14

It is so much tougher than American Idol, sir.

0:09:140:09:17

So much tougher. But I'm going to win this one.

0:09:170:09:19

I congratulate the two of you.

0:09:190:09:21

Look at this man here. He's very...

0:09:210:09:23

-You're happy, aren't you, huh?

-I am so happy.

0:09:230:09:25

And you're happy because you have a chance

0:09:250:09:27

to win a tremendous amount for your charity.

0:09:270:09:29

Now, in addition to what you've already won,

0:09:290:09:32

tomorrow for your final task,

0:09:320:09:35

we're going to meet at Lincoln Centre

0:09:350:09:38

where it all began.

0:09:380:09:39

Now, I'm going to give you what I want you to do

0:09:390:09:43

and it's going to be tough, but it's going to be amazing.

0:09:430:09:46

And the winner is going to be the happiest person in the world,

0:09:460:09:50

and you know what?

0:09:500:09:52

The loser's got to be very proud,

0:09:520:09:53

because there are no losers in this room.

0:09:530:09:56

So, I congratulate you, Arsenio.

0:09:560:09:58

I congratulate you, Clay.

0:09:580:10:00

-Thank you, sir.

-I'll see you tomorrow morning at Lincoln Centre.

0:10:000:10:03

Thank you for this experience, no matter what happens. Thank you, sir.

0:10:030:10:06

Go ahead.

0:10:060:10:07

-THEY LAUGH

-You might want to rephrase that.

-Oh!

0:10:160:10:18

Can we come back?

0:10:180:10:20

It's a colloquialism that was misunderstood, I think.

0:10:210:10:24

Oh, no!

0:10:240:10:26

-We're here, man.

-Congratulations. Yes, we are.

0:10:300:10:32

-We started in a little corner in a room.

-Right?

0:10:320:10:36

-And you said, "Hi."

-THEY LAUGH

0:10:360:10:39

Oh, my God!

0:10:390:10:41

'There is no feeling like this.'

0:10:410:10:44

This is so cool,

0:10:440:10:46

and I'm in a competition with someone I respect.

0:10:460:10:48

'That's an important part of it too.'

0:10:480:10:50

I'd like a low five.

0:10:500:10:52

Bam, baby!

0:10:520:10:55

-We are here.

-Woo!

-We're here.

0:10:550:10:57

'I sort of hoped that'

0:10:570:10:59

Arsenio and I would be in the final two together.

0:10:590:11:01

I have a lot of respect for him.

0:11:010:11:02

'It's going to be a shame to have to beat him.'

0:11:020:11:04

You know what? It is a little bit of deja vu for me.

0:11:040:11:06

-Yeah.

-And this time I ain't going to lose.

0:11:060:11:09

I got news for you, my brother.

0:11:090:11:12

'You know, I've been known as Clay Aiken,

0:11:120:11:14

'American Idol runner-up, for years now,'

0:11:140:11:17

so I'm going to work even harder this time

0:11:170:11:19

to make sure it doesn't happen again.

0:11:190:11:21

Here's to the people we love,

0:11:210:11:22

-Mr Trump and this wonderful journey we've had.

-Yes.

0:11:220:11:25

-God bless you.

-You too.

-And have a good task.

0:11:250:11:28

'I'm going to give this everything I've got.'

0:11:300:11:33

Clay is a tough opponent. I got to beat him.

0:11:330:11:34

I got to get that money for the Magic Johnson Foundation,

0:11:340:11:37

'and I'm going to leave it on the floor, as the ballplayers say.

0:11:370:11:40

'I'm going to leave it out there.'

0:11:400:11:41

I'm coming for you, man.

0:11:410:11:43

There's something about the way both of us played the game.

0:11:430:11:47

Well, smart and respectful to people who we worked with.

0:11:470:11:51

'Even though Arsenio and I are friends,

0:11:510:11:53

'I'm very serious about winning this competition.'

0:11:530:11:56

The adrenaline is pumping now.

0:11:560:11:57

We've got one more major task and it is for the whole enchilada,

0:11:570:12:01

'so I have no intention of slowing down.'

0:12:010:12:04

I will sleep when it's all over. Until then, game on.

0:12:040:12:07

Good morning.

0:12:410:12:42

Arsenio, Clay, congratulations.

0:12:420:12:46

-Thank you very much.

-It's been a long, hard journey.

0:12:460:12:49

You started with 18 celebrities.

0:12:490:12:53

16 have been fired.

0:12:530:12:55

Two remain.

0:12:550:12:58

Now, we're at Lincoln Centre.

0:12:580:13:00

This is where it all began.

0:13:000:13:02

If you remember, three months ago we stood right here

0:13:020:13:06

and your journey started.

0:13:060:13:08

Who would've thought you would've come so far?

0:13:080:13:10

-Did you think so, Clay?

-I think we did, yes, sir.

0:13:100:13:12

-You did? Did you think so?

-Deep in my heart, I wanted it bad.

0:13:120:13:16

You do nothing without thinking you're going to win, right?

0:13:160:13:19

-Absolutely.

-Clay also.

-Agreed.

0:13:190:13:20

So, I want to congratulate both of you.

0:13:200:13:22

You really beat some tremendous people.

0:13:220:13:26

OK, your biggest task is still ahead of you,

0:13:260:13:29

one that will help determine who will become

0:13:290:13:32

the Celebrity Apprentice.

0:13:320:13:34

Ivanka, tell them about it.

0:13:340:13:36

Not surprisingly, this will be your hardest task yet.

0:13:360:13:40

You will have to produce,

0:13:400:13:41

host and sell tickets to a celebrity charity event.

0:13:410:13:45

You're going to be responsible for all aspects of your charity event.

0:13:450:13:49

You're going to sell tickets to raise money for your charity.

0:13:490:13:51

You're going to create a 30-second charity awareness ad

0:13:510:13:55

and you're going to produce a variety show

0:13:550:13:57

to entertain your guests.

0:13:570:13:59

So, if you do a great job with this charity event,

0:13:590:14:02

you can make a lot of money for your charities.

0:14:020:14:04

Once again, what is your charity?

0:14:040:14:07

-The Magic Johnson Foundation, sir.

-And we love it. What's your charity?

0:14:070:14:11

I'm playing for the National Inclusion Project.

0:14:110:14:13

Very good.

0:14:130:14:14

OK, now, the entertainment for the variety shows will be you,

0:14:140:14:21

so there's a lot of pressure on you,

0:14:210:14:23

but to take off a little of the pressure,

0:14:230:14:26

I'm going to let you have a little help.

0:14:260:14:28

Celebrities, come on in.

0:14:290:14:31

-Deborah!

-Hello!

0:14:390:14:41

-Hello!

-Hey. Aubrey, Lisa. Oh, my gosh!

0:14:410:14:44

It just keeps coming.

0:14:440:14:46

-Uh-oh!

-Wow!

0:14:460:14:48

-Penn!

-Hey!

0:14:480:14:50

Our two-handed rock star.

0:14:500:14:53

Carolla!

0:14:530:14:55

Pretty Paulie!

0:14:550:14:57

Wow. That's some group.

0:14:570:14:59

I have to congratulate all of you. You've done an amazing job.

0:14:590:15:04

What do you think, Clay?

0:15:040:15:05

I think that is an incredible group of people for a variety show.

0:15:050:15:08

What do you think? Good?

0:15:080:15:09

-Ditto.

-OK.

0:15:090:15:11

Now, Arsenio, as project manager, you won every time, is that right?

0:15:110:15:15

-Yes, sir.

-Good.

0:15:150:15:16

I'm going to give you the first pick.

0:15:160:15:18

-I'll take Adam Corolla.

-Oh, Adam.

0:15:210:15:23

Congratulations. That's a great honour.

0:15:230:15:26

I'm like, "Stick with what you know. Keep it simple, brah. Go comedy."

0:15:260:15:31

'So, I say, "Give me Corolla."'

0:15:310:15:33

Clay, you pick.

0:15:330:15:35

-I'm going to take Penn.

-OK. Good choice.

0:15:370:15:40

'I do think Penn is someone who has a brilliant mind,'

0:15:400:15:43

but most importantly, I wanted to take Penn

0:15:430:15:45

'because Penn is the one person who I had difficulty working with, and I

0:15:450:15:48

'wanted to show Mr Trump'

0:15:480:15:49

that I can work with anybody.

0:15:490:15:51

Arsenio, go ahead.

0:15:510:15:52

I would like the lovely and very talented Lisa Lampanelli.

0:15:520:15:56

OK, I'm not surprised.

0:15:560:15:58

'I know Clay wants Lisa,

0:15:580:15:59

'so I'm like, "There's only one thing to do."'

0:15:590:16:01

Best comedy mind and best worker on the show.

0:16:010:16:06

-Sister!

-Holla!

-Clay, go ahead.

0:16:060:16:09

Debbie Gibson.

0:16:090:16:11

Debbie, good.

0:16:110:16:12

After picking Penn, I really turned my focus to music.

0:16:120:16:15

'We were going to focus on singing, in my mind.'

0:16:150:16:18

The resourceful, pretty...

0:16:180:16:20

Paulie senior.

0:16:200:16:22

-Dee Snider, come on down.

-Good.

0:16:240:16:26

'Music is my strength, and I really had my fingers crossed'

0:16:260:16:29

that I could get all three of the remaining musicians

0:16:290:16:32

to be on my team.

0:16:320:16:33

This is going to be a very interesting pick.

0:16:370:16:39

Arsenio?

0:16:390:16:41

Ladies and gentlemen...

0:16:430:16:45

..America's most wonderful housewife...

0:16:460:16:50

Teresa.

0:16:500:16:51

Whoa, whoa. Look at you.

0:16:510:16:53

'Teresa over Aubrey?'

0:16:530:16:55

Even a cameraman did this.

0:16:550:16:58

'But I wanted to have a pleasant couple of days,

0:16:580:17:01

'so I took the person who was nice to be around.'

0:17:010:17:04

-I don't think Clay is upset.

-I am not upset at all.

0:17:040:17:07

-You shouldn't be upset.

-A great musical theme.

0:17:070:17:09

Aubrey, come on down.

0:17:090:17:10

'Of course, both of the last two men standing'

0:17:100:17:12

had to show their true colours and pick me last,

0:17:120:17:15

which means that haters are hating, once again.

0:17:150:17:18

'Now I'm going to have to step up and overcompensate

0:17:180:17:21

'to really prove to them that clearly

0:17:210:17:23

'I should've been picked first.

0:17:230:17:25

'Those mofos will think twice about picking me last.'

0:17:250:17:27

The celebrity apprentice will earn 250,000 for your charity,

0:17:270:17:32

and that's on top of any money you earn from ticket sales

0:17:320:17:36

-to the charity event.

-Wow.

0:17:360:17:37

The money you earn and you earn you keep for your charity.

0:17:370:17:42

Not bad. Good luck. Enjoy yourselves.

0:17:420:17:45

Make lots of money for your charities. Thank you.

0:17:450:17:47

-Team Clay, that's us.

-Team Clay!

-Woohoo! Nice!

0:17:570:17:59

-Ooh, I love what you've done with the place.

-Thank you!

-Beautiful!

0:17:590:18:02

'Overall, I think for sure I've got the best team.'

0:18:020:18:05

My intention when I found out that we were doing a variety show

0:18:050:18:09

was to pick a team of musicians.

0:18:090:18:10

Before we start, thank you, all of you.

0:18:100:18:14

-Yay!

-Thanks for choosing us.

0:18:140:18:15

I want to tell you about my charity cos we don't have a chance

0:18:150:18:18

to talk about it too much, so you get an idea.

0:18:180:18:20

I took time off after high school,

0:18:200:18:22

so I started working with kids with disabilities

0:18:220:18:25

and I fell in love with that

0:18:250:18:26

and I just had a real passion for it.

0:18:260:18:28

National Inclusion Project is an organisation that I helped

0:18:280:18:32

to start right after I finished doing American Idol.

0:18:320:18:34

Socially, it allows these kids to be part of things

0:18:340:18:36

they normally get left out of.

0:18:360:18:38

'It helps to include'

0:18:380:18:39

kids with disabilities into camps

0:18:390:18:42

and afterschool programmes and different extracurricular things

0:18:420:18:45

they wouldn't necessarily

0:18:450:18:47

normally get a chance to be a part of.

0:18:470:18:48

They know they're being left out.

0:18:480:18:50

They know they don't get to go to summer camp.

0:18:500:18:52

They see their peers walk down the hallway, go to the playground

0:18:520:18:55

and they don't get to go with them.

0:18:550:18:57

And it's not fair to them,

0:18:570:18:59

and it's not really fair to the kids who don't have disabilities

0:18:590:19:02

because they don't get to be exposed to a diverse population of people.

0:19:020:19:06

'I've always thought Clay was talented as a professional,

0:19:060:19:09

'but Clay has always bugged me, as a person.'

0:19:090:19:12

And when I hear him talk about his charity,

0:19:120:19:14

I actually like him a little more.

0:19:140:19:16

I mean, I'm starting to see the appeal of Clay,

0:19:160:19:18

and I can't even believe I just said that.

0:19:180:19:20

So, I wanted you to know what it is and why it's important to me,

0:19:200:19:24

and I wanted to thank you all for helping us win,

0:19:240:19:26

-cos I think we're going to do it.

-Yay!

0:19:260:19:28

Let me say something I said to Lisa. The percentage of AIDS...

0:19:300:19:33

Like, say for instance, the biggest demographic is minority women.

0:19:330:19:36

I mean, this was created 20 years ago when...

0:19:360:19:39

There's no demographic...

0:19:390:19:40

It was created 20 years ago when Magic got it.

0:19:400:19:43

I can't even put into words how important it is

0:19:430:19:46

to be able to earn things for the Magic Johnson Foundation

0:19:460:19:49

'and the continued opportunity to earn even more.'

0:19:490:19:52

You come here to help people.

0:19:520:19:54

And I've done...

0:19:560:19:58

I've done it, and I'm not finished. I'm not finished.

0:19:580:20:01

-We're selling tickets and that's how we're raising money.

-Mm-hm.

0:20:010:20:04

This is what I'm worried about,

0:20:040:20:05

is not having enough tickets because...

0:20:050:20:08

-We only have 75 tickets to sell.

-We only have 75.

-Yeah, OK, so...

0:20:080:20:11

So, we've all got to make a list of everybody

0:20:110:20:14

and the amount to make sure that...

0:20:140:20:16

Like, some guy with a grand,

0:20:160:20:17

he's not going to get a ticket first.

0:20:170:20:19

'I'm happy with my team.'

0:20:190:20:21

I'm going to create a comedy event.

0:20:210:20:23

'It seems like Clay is doing a music event.

0:20:230:20:26

'You can take five great singers, put them together.

0:20:260:20:28

'It doesn't mean'

0:20:280:20:29

it's going to work,

0:20:290:20:30

so I'm saying that could be a choir from hell.

0:20:300:20:33

I just think what we should do is as we figure out who's sending what,

0:20:330:20:37

we make a full list and those are the people we give tickets to.

0:20:370:20:40

In other words, if Leno sends a check for 10,000,

0:20:400:20:43

we have not written down, we go, "OK, there's one ticket sold."

0:20:430:20:46

'I felt really good being picked by Arsenio'

0:20:460:20:48

only because someone who doesn't have a friendship with me,

0:20:480:20:52

doesn't even know me, that I've had arguments with, is picking me

0:20:520:20:55

'basically because I'm a hard worker, that I'm good.'

0:20:550:20:59

I had an overall idea.

0:20:590:21:01

-We're selling tickets and that's how we're raising money.

-Mm-hm.

0:21:010:21:04

What if we presented it to the people

0:21:040:21:07

we're selling the ticket to,

0:21:070:21:08

"You're not buying a ticket for you,

0:21:080:21:11

"you're buying a ticket for a kid"?

0:21:110:21:13

'For me, I didn't want to get fired'

0:21:130:21:15

as early as a got fired,

0:21:150:21:17

and I certainly then didn't want to come back and prove

0:21:170:21:20

'Mr Trump right as to why I got fired, so there was some pressure.'

0:21:200:21:24

And as far as being a first overall pick,

0:21:240:21:26

'I did have this feeling of, like,'

0:21:260:21:29

"I'd like to contribute as much as I can."

0:21:290:21:31

We gear are show toward that audience.

0:21:310:21:34

Like, we do a kids show for...

0:21:340:21:37

But I think the problem is we're not kid-friendly.

0:21:370:21:40

I think we could pull off a kids-related thing.

0:21:400:21:43

'I thought it was a bad idea 'cause it makes no sense,

0:21:430:21:46

'but I think Arsenio has a bit of a people pleaser'

0:21:460:21:48

in him which means he wants everybody happy at his own expense.

0:21:480:21:51

'But I'm like, "If he's not going to keep us on track,'

0:21:510:21:54

"I'm not going to be that chick who's on top of him all the time."

0:21:540:21:57

I just didn't feel it was appropriate that day.

0:21:570:21:59

But I think with the Magic Johnson Foundation,

0:21:590:22:02

it's not just kids.

0:22:020:22:03

If it was Make-A-Wish and you said the same thing,

0:22:030:22:05

I'd be all over it, but I think this way we're playing away

0:22:050:22:08

from the charity's focus and demographic too.

0:22:080:22:12

'I think we all make suggestions'

0:22:120:22:13

that are bad.

0:22:130:22:14

The best of us make more good than bad.

0:22:140:22:17

Adam is a comic

0:22:170:22:18

'and a writer and he's used to pitch meetings.

0:22:180:22:20

'You can't be afraid'

0:22:200:22:22

to have somebody say, "Nah,"

0:22:220:22:24

-'so I'm Barack in this

-BLEEP.

0:22:240:22:26

'I'm the leader,

0:22:260:22:28

'and when you're the leader, you can just say no.'

0:22:280:22:30

I think we're starting out of our wheelhouse if we do this

0:22:300:22:33

and it makes our show less effective as we can be.

0:22:330:22:37

There's a whole bunch of stuff we've got to do here.

0:22:480:22:50

The event itself, the charity awareness ad and this variety show.

0:22:500:22:53

'Our final task is'

0:22:530:22:54

to produce and edit together a charity awareness ad.

0:22:540:22:57

'We have to plan and host a celebrity charity event.'

0:22:570:23:01

-So, we've got to multitask.

-We've got to do everything.

-Yeah.

0:23:010:23:04

'At that celebrity charity event,

0:23:040:23:05

'we have to direct, produce and star in a variety show,

0:23:050:23:10

'and on top of all'

0:23:100:23:11

of that we have to sell tickets to our event

0:23:110:23:14

and raise as much money as possible.

0:23:140:23:16

We might be best to sort of split into some groups.

0:23:160:23:21

Aubrey, are you cool with planning and decorating for the event?

0:23:210:23:25

Sure.

0:23:250:23:26

Penn might be really creative

0:23:260:23:28

in helping out with an idea for the PSA.

0:23:280:23:31

Yeah.

0:23:310:23:32

'There are three big projects going on and we only had two days,'

0:23:320:23:36

but I was able to delegate different people to do different things.

0:23:360:23:39

'Penn and Dee working on the charity awareness ad,

0:23:390:23:42

'Aubrey actually planning and decorating the event'

0:23:420:23:45

and Debbie is working on the variety show and the music.

0:23:450:23:48

What about Grease? Everyone loves a Grease sing-along, Summer Nights.

0:23:480:23:51

-Listen, I like that one. Sure.

-Don't Go Breaking My Heart?

0:23:510:23:53

That may be better.

0:23:530:23:55

Everybody is really pitching in to make it come together,

0:23:550:23:57

'but I need to have some control over things a little bit,

0:23:570:24:01

'because there's nobody I can blame but myself.'

0:24:010:24:03

We need to come up with a...with our concept

0:24:030:24:06

for the event.

0:24:060:24:07

So, if it's "Let's All Play",

0:24:100:24:11

do we theme the party in kind of a carnivaly-type fun,

0:24:110:24:17

to feel like you're walking into an environment

0:24:170:24:19

where you can play and be free?

0:24:190:24:21

We could easily go with that for a party.

0:24:210:24:23

'I came up with the theme of our party'

0:24:230:24:25

and the carnival aspect

0:24:250:24:27

'of uniting people through fun and activity.'

0:24:270:24:30

Maybe even within the event, the party,

0:24:300:24:32

we could showcase some of the games,

0:24:320:24:34

cos we have a game's manual specifically written...

0:24:340:24:37

Oh, you've got some games?

0:24:370:24:38

We have a game's manual specifically written to be inclusive.

0:24:380:24:41

-They're carnival-type games.

-Actual carnival games, right.

0:24:410:24:43

'You want to specifically tailor everything back to the charity,'

0:24:430:24:47

and I'm a details girl, so every single element of every single booth

0:24:470:24:51

is going to lead our audience back to the National Inclusion Project.

0:24:510:24:55

I can do all of that. I mean, I can easily get it done.

0:24:550:24:58

Clay's ass is on the line and more importantly for me,

0:24:580:25:01

'I really think that Arsenio's dirt,

0:25:010:25:03

'so I'm really hoping that Clay wins.'

0:25:030:25:06

We want to make it funny, right? I mean, not just respectful.

0:25:090:25:13

I wouldn't say funny. I would say at least upbeat, at least positive.

0:25:130:25:16

'Arsenio needed to make a charity awareness ad'

0:25:160:25:18

for the Magic Johnson Foundation,

0:25:180:25:20

and I wanted to come up with something interesting.

0:25:200:25:24

The emphasis is kind of that a lot of people have moved on.

0:25:240:25:28

Like, they feel like this is yesterday's project.

0:25:280:25:31

There's a shelf life for the urgency we had when Magic Johnson came out.

0:25:310:25:35

These things are boring, normally,

0:25:350:25:37

and they just tug at the heartstrings,

0:25:370:25:39

and I felt like we needed some entertainment.

0:25:390:25:42

I mean, we could go, like, an '80s vibe.

0:25:420:25:45

-You know, Arsenio, big afro.

-Mm-hm.

0:25:450:25:47

You know, this '80s outfit,

0:25:470:25:49

this representation of all that was...

0:25:490:25:52

Basically, your concept is,

0:25:520:25:54

-"This is done, but AIDS is still here."

-Right.

0:25:540:25:56

And "We're all smart enough to get rid of this..."

0:25:560:25:58

-You know?

-Yeah, yeah.

0:25:580:25:59

All right, so, do we like the idea

0:25:590:26:01

of trying to get Magic to do the spot, right?

0:26:010:26:05

Yeah.

0:26:050:26:06

I can have guys from my studio just go to where he is

0:26:060:26:11

and film him with my equipment.

0:26:110:26:14

They could just send it back to us at our facility

0:26:140:26:17

and then we can edit it here.

0:26:170:26:19

'If I can get Magic to get up early'

0:26:190:26:21

and shoot something on the West Coast

0:26:210:26:23

and I get it uploaded to the East Coast,

0:26:230:26:27

I can make this thing happen,

0:26:270:26:28

'but I'm going to need Magic.'

0:26:280:26:29

-OVER PHONE:

-'Hello?'

0:26:290:26:31

Hey, Lon. This is Arsenio.

0:26:310:26:32

I'm wondering where Magic is this weekend.

0:26:320:26:36

'Saturday I think he's back in LA. He should be.'

0:26:360:26:39

Adam Corolla has a crew on the West Coast. Really simple.

0:26:390:26:43

We need, like, Earvin just to make 20 seconds of comment

0:26:430:26:49

about the Magic Johnson Foundation.

0:26:490:26:51

'I think he'll do it. I think we can probably get it done.'

0:26:510:26:54

'Having Magic Johnson'

0:26:540:26:57

talk about the Magic Johnson Foundation

0:26:570:27:01

for me is a home run...

0:27:010:27:03

or three-point shot.

0:27:030:27:05

-'We'll get this done for you, Arsenio.'

-Perfect. Perfect.

0:27:050:27:09

'Thank you, gentlemen. Have a great afternoon.'

0:27:090:27:11

-Thank you.

-Thank you, K-dawg. That's a...

0:27:110:27:13

-That's a biggie.

-Yeah.

0:27:130:27:15

'We did get Magic Johnson for his charity awareness ad,

0:27:150:27:18

'and on one hand I was like, "Oh, thank you, Mr Johnson,"

0:27:180:27:22

'and then I realise,'

0:27:220:27:23

"Well, it's his charity and it's his money."

0:27:230:27:27

'Like, you should be sending over a fruit basket to Arsenio'

0:27:270:27:32

in suitcase with, you know, a bunch of weed in it.

0:27:320:27:36

So, ten seconds.

0:27:360:27:37

-"La-la-la-da, ladies and gentlemen I'll let the man tell you."

-Exactly.

0:27:370:27:41

-Right.

-No-look pass to Magic Johnson.

-Right.

0:27:410:27:44

'My charity awareness piece is going to start with humour.'

0:27:440:27:48

I'm going to figure out this comedy part upfront

0:27:480:27:51

'and then I'll have Magic give them the facts

0:27:510:27:53

'and the important stuff.'

0:27:530:27:55

Oh, could even have a fun thing where you throw a basketball...

0:27:550:27:57

-And he catches it on the other end.

-Yeah.

-I love that.

0:27:570:28:00

God, you're good, Adam Corolla.

0:28:000:28:02

'At first I was a little insecure about Adam, but now he seemed'

0:28:020:28:06

to make sense perfectly,

0:28:060:28:07

'so I was like, "This guy is all right."'

0:28:070:28:09

I've got the end line, which is something like,

0:28:090:28:13

"I want to thank Arsenio

0:28:130:28:15

"not only for the charity but for paving the way

0:28:150:28:17

"for all the great black late-night talk show hosts.

0:28:170:28:19

-"Wait a minute."

-THEY LAUGH

0:28:190:28:22

Throw the ball back at you.

0:28:220:28:23

And while I'm thinking about the joke, bam. It's like, "Hey!"

0:28:230:28:26

'I'm going to try to bring humour to everything.'

0:28:260:28:29

I have gotten a laugh at a funeral, you know.

0:28:290:28:33

'That's just who I am.

0:28:330:28:34

'But the message is going to be there.'

0:28:340:28:36

I'm just going to use comedy as a flare to get your attention.

0:28:360:28:40

We need to discuss what concepts might work.

0:28:430:28:45

For the charity awareness ad,

0:28:450:28:48

I've always seen a shot of a child with a disability

0:28:480:28:53

kind of sitting on his or her own and then giving some sort

0:28:530:28:57

of narrative VO that talks about being alone,

0:28:570:29:01

left out, being lonely, and then as the camera pulls out

0:29:010:29:05

you actually see that the kid's not sitting by themselves.

0:29:050:29:08

They're playing with other kids and they're happy.

0:29:080:29:11

It is, to my sensibility, a little bit offensive.

0:29:110:29:15

OK.

0:29:170:29:18

You want to think symbolically at all?

0:29:200:29:22

Not quite so literal?

0:29:220:29:25

Listen, I'd love to think symbolically,

0:29:250:29:26

but I don't have any ideas for it right now.

0:29:260:29:29

If anybody else does...

0:29:290:29:30

'It felt to me artistically the wrong emotion.'

0:29:300:29:36

It was playing on, "Oh, dear, this child has disabilities,"

0:29:360:29:40

'where what I love about the charity is that it's having those children'

0:29:400:29:44

be seen without their disability.

0:29:440:29:47

We have a little bit of...

0:29:480:29:50

We don't have too much time.

0:29:500:29:51

'In picking Penn, I hope I was not wrong.

0:29:510:29:54

'Penn was doing what Penn does.

0:29:540:29:57

'He started shooting things down, and instead of adding to things,

0:29:570:30:00

'Penn just said, "This will not work."'

0:30:000:30:02

"Can you play along with the team here?

0:30:020:30:04

"Can you help us instead of just knocking things down?"

0:30:040:30:06

Jeez.

0:30:150:30:16

Oh, my God. Look at this.

0:30:220:30:24

'Teresa and I decided to take off and pick up some '80s'

0:30:240:30:28

costumes and we left the other guys

0:30:280:30:29

behind in the war room.

0:30:290:30:31

-How you doing?

-I'm Adam.

-How you doing? I'm Teresa.

0:30:310:30:33

-How are you?

-Nice to meet you.

-Anything we can help you with?

0:30:330:30:35

We needed costumes to make

0:30:350:30:37

our 30-second public service announcement come to life.

0:30:370:30:41

-I'm going to show you something.

-Oh, is this your office?

0:30:410:30:43

Yeah, that's where I take all my conjugal visits, right here.

0:30:430:30:46

Can you open that?

0:30:460:30:48

'The guy who ran the place, much creepier than'

0:30:480:30:50

any of the severed heads he had hanging in the window.

0:30:500:30:53

What is that? There's a giant penis up there.

0:30:530:30:56

I'm curious why you have a huge penis up there.

0:30:560:30:59

Those are works of art. I got this from...

0:30:590:31:00

I'm trying to get him behind bars and he won't go in there cos...

0:31:000:31:03

-I'm not going...

-..because you see that.

0:31:030:31:05

'In his office'

0:31:050:31:07

was some peni.

0:31:070:31:09

Penises. Pretty sure it's peni.

0:31:090:31:12

'I was thoroughly creeped out.'

0:31:120:31:14

-Ew, look at these things.

-Oh.

0:31:140:31:16

Hi. How are you?

0:31:160:31:18

Like A Virgin, Madonna.

0:31:180:31:19

-Right.

-That's a cool dress.

0:31:190:31:21

-Yeah.

-I think that's cool.

-OK.

0:31:210:31:22

We also brought out this one.

0:31:220:31:24

Oh, Michael Jackson.

0:31:240:31:26

'Arsenio gets a sort of '80s'

0:31:260:31:29

Thriller kind of a vibe.

0:31:290:31:30

Yeah, this is nice.

0:31:300:31:31

'We got a new wave romantic look for me.'

0:31:310:31:34

And this one is more like Cyndi Lauper.

0:31:340:31:37

You can take that and add it to the jacket.

0:31:370:31:39

That feels pretty good to me. Wigs. Do you guys do wigs?

0:31:390:31:42

I think that one. Yeah.

0:31:420:31:45

Continue with your role-playing fantasies, young couple.

0:31:450:31:48

Go ahead. We won't get in your way.

0:31:480:31:50

Seriously, have you ever been in the penis cage?

0:31:500:31:53

No, I haven't.

0:31:530:31:54

Where do you eat your lunch? Penis cage?

0:31:540:31:56

-No, downstairs in the prop section. I'm a prop's guy.

-Oh, my God.

0:31:560:31:59

'I got to work with'

0:31:590:32:01

Adam Corolla for the first time, and he was so...

0:32:010:32:04

He made me pee my pants.

0:32:040:32:06

'He was so funny.'

0:32:060:32:07

-PHONE RINGS

-I don't know.

0:32:070:32:09

Abracadabra. This is Analyn. How may I help you?

0:32:090:32:13

'The best thing about life is to be able to laugh'

0:32:130:32:15

and just be happy and enjoy life,

0:32:150:32:18

and you know, hanging out with comedians,

0:32:180:32:20

'what's better than that?'

0:32:200:32:21

Thank you very much, guys. A pleasure meeting you guys.

0:32:210:32:23

-Thank you very much for coming.

-See you in hell.

0:32:230:32:26

-Take care, guys.

-Thank you.

0:32:260:32:27

Clay, this is 30 seconds. See what do you think of this.

0:32:300:32:33

'I'm doing a lot of work on the awareness ad,

0:32:330:32:37

'and Clay's idea,'

0:32:370:32:39

it didn't snap me at all from the beginning

0:32:390:32:42

because I thought there was an element of wallowing

0:32:420:32:46

in the disability.

0:32:460:32:47

What if we had three children in a circle playing a game

0:32:470:32:55

and pulled out a little bit to have the wheelchair outside there

0:32:550:33:00

without a child in it?

0:33:000:33:03

And did our copy in such a way

0:33:030:33:06

that said, "You can't tell which one of these children has a disability.

0:33:060:33:10

"Neither can they."

0:33:100:33:12

That, I think, is great.

0:33:120:33:13

I'm just trying to solve this pity thing.

0:33:130:33:16

We want compassion without pity.

0:33:160:33:18

The difference between "Here's a child with disabilities"

0:33:180:33:22

and they're playing with other children

0:33:220:33:24

and "Here's a bunch of children playing

0:33:240:33:26

"and we don't care about the disability" is enormous.

0:33:260:33:29

-Penn, that's awesome.

-That's great. Thank you.

0:33:290:33:32

Just came up with your conceptual. Thanks.

0:33:320:33:34

'Finally, Penn came through.

0:33:340:33:36

'Penn and I clashed several times in the past,'

0:33:360:33:38

but I have an incredible amount of respect

0:33:380:33:40

for Penn's creativity and mind.

0:33:400:33:42

"When no-one sits on the sidelines,

0:33:420:33:44

"when everyone plays together, everyone has more fun.

0:33:440:33:47

"The National Inclusion Project - let's all play together."

0:33:470:33:50

-How do you like that?

-I do like that.

-OK.

0:33:500:33:53

'This concept that Penn came up with'

0:33:530:33:55

really hit the nail on the head

0:33:550:33:56

of what the mission of the organisation is.

0:33:560:33:58

If we could figure out something that I could be part of

0:33:580:34:02

or you could think that I can get involved in, or any...

0:34:020:34:05

You could start calling people for money.

0:34:050:34:07

I'll do that. I can do that.

0:34:070:34:09

'Paul Senior is going to help me raise money.'

0:34:090:34:12

He has friends who are juiced,

0:34:120:34:13

'and he'll get on the phone.'

0:34:130:34:15

Now, if you just need somebody who will work tirelessly,

0:34:150:34:18

'Teresa will.'

0:34:180:34:19

'She'll got on that phone, she'll raise money.'

0:34:190:34:21

-I got 5,000.

-Teresa, please thank them from me.

0:34:210:34:24

'I'm like, "Get your phones,'

0:34:240:34:25

"let's start raising some money,"

0:34:250:34:27

cos that's going to be an important element of this.

0:34:270:34:30

'Let's not let that slip through.'

0:34:300:34:32

You can do a sort of Madonna, yeah.

0:34:320:34:35

-Like A Virgin.

-Yeah.

-Hello.

-That's all we need.

0:34:350:34:38

How you doing?

0:34:380:34:39

So, what's a better team name, Unanimous or Arsenio?

0:34:390:34:42

-I like Unanimous.

-I like Arsenio better.

0:34:420:34:45

'That fine tall glass of water Ivanka walks in.

0:34:450:34:48

'Whoever her man is, I'm like,'

0:34:480:34:50

"All hail Ivanka's husband."

0:34:500:34:53

'Fine and smart.'

0:34:530:34:55

Lisa, you said that you were very focused

0:34:550:34:57

on the fundraising part, though.

0:34:570:34:59

I was so convinced I was going to be in the damn finals

0:34:590:35:01

that I raised a ton of money and most of it is at my hotel already,

0:35:010:35:04

so that's exciting.

0:35:040:35:05

Now it has to be written out to this charity, but it's so great.

0:35:050:35:07

-So, yeah. I'm really happy.

-So, how much have you yourself?

0:35:070:35:10

She had 50 grand before we walked in here.

0:35:100:35:12

-Before we walked in, it was about 50.

-Wow.

0:35:120:35:14

I got confirmed so far five just from one person, but...

0:35:140:35:17

'Lisa has 50,000 in the bag already.

0:35:170:35:19

'Teresa has raised another 5,000,'

0:35:190:35:22

so they are early on very actively raising money,

0:35:220:35:24

'which I think it's a great start'

0:35:240:35:27

to what will be an extremely competitive finale.

0:35:270:35:30

We're having fun. It's really cool to have Adam back in the mix.

0:35:300:35:32

I've never worked with Lisa before.

0:35:320:35:34

Teresa and I are falling in love all over again.

0:35:340:35:38

I love it. Good.

0:35:380:35:39

So, what is the idea? Obviously, you have sort of the comedian group.

0:35:390:35:43

The plan is to do a comedy show.

0:35:430:35:46

Probably a lot of stand-up, but a lot of funny.

0:35:460:35:48

The Magic Johnson thing is more important

0:35:480:35:50

probably to the presentation we're putting together.

0:35:500:35:52

And we just got Magic to agree to shoot something on that end,

0:35:520:35:56

and Adam has a crew in LA.

0:35:560:35:58

They're going to go to Magic's house in the morning

0:35:580:36:00

and get his part of it.

0:36:000:36:01

We're going to bring it in and edit it to our part.

0:36:010:36:03

'From the first day he got here,'

0:36:030:36:05

you could just really feel Arsenio's fondness

0:36:050:36:08

'and care for the Magic Johnson Foundation.

0:36:080:36:11

'So, you can tell'

0:36:110:36:12

he's very, very excited

0:36:120:36:13

about incorporating Magic into this actual show,

0:36:130:36:16

'which is fully appropriate and totally fitting.'

0:36:160:36:19

So, what's better - comedy or a musical performance -

0:36:190:36:22

in terms of what people like seeing?

0:36:220:36:24

You can never lose with comedy. Music plays to who it plays to.

0:36:240:36:28

Comedy plays to everyone.

0:36:280:36:30

'Arsenio had a strategy'

0:36:300:36:32

that comedy and laughter

0:36:320:36:34

and fun may be a bit more universal than musical performance,

0:36:340:36:39

'which is a bit subjective,'

0:36:390:36:41

so I think both teams got what they wanted

0:36:410:36:43

and I think both teams, though, as a result

0:36:430:36:46

think they have competitive advantage.

0:36:460:36:48

That's sort of interesting.

0:36:480:36:50

-Let's come up with songs, period, and figure out a duet song.

-Mm-hm.

0:36:500:36:53

We're going to have to turn them into medleys somehow, too.

0:36:530:36:56

'Clay basically put me in charge of song selection

0:36:560:37:00

'musical arrangements and medleys for our variety show.'

0:37:000:37:03

That is my forte, so I was very, very happy.

0:37:030:37:06

Here's what we're thinking.

0:37:060:37:08

We'll start with the two of you doing...

0:37:080:37:09

I'm going to come out and do... # Baby love, my baby love... #

0:37:090:37:13

# And all you do is treat me bad

0:37:130:37:15

# You break my heart and...

0:37:150:37:17

-# Make me sad... #

-Something really quick.

0:37:170:37:19

# Made me stay away so long. #

0:37:190:37:20

'If you told me'

0:37:200:37:21

that I'd be singing Baby Love

0:37:210:37:23

with Debbie Gibson in the 1980s, I would've punched you in the face.

0:37:230:37:26

And then we need a song for you.

0:37:260:37:28

Oh, we should do a disco.

0:37:280:37:29

-I don't know.

-What about a funk thing? Would that work?

0:37:320:37:35

I never sang funk.

0:37:350:37:36

Something that you're comfortable doing, obviously.

0:37:360:37:38

-I've got to think about that one.

-Think about it for a minute.

0:37:380:37:41

I don't think you guys want Highway To Hell, do you?

0:37:410:37:43

-Preferably...

-Yeah, no.

-That's a good one, though.

0:37:430:37:46

'I've got a good idea where this variety show is going,'

0:37:460:37:48

and it's boldly going places I have not gone before

0:37:480:37:52

'and I'm not really crazy about going,'

0:37:520:37:55

but I've done far worse.

0:37:550:37:56

I was wearing a dress earlier.

0:37:560:37:57

-Don't Break My Heart, good.

-Mm.

0:37:570:37:59

-Hello, sir.

-How are you?

-Hi!

-Hey. Good to see you.

0:37:590:38:02

Can you sing? Would you like to sing in our show?

0:38:020:38:05

I would make a serious ass of myself if I was to sing.

0:38:050:38:08

Don Junior came to visit,

0:38:080:38:09

'and it's important to impress the Trumps a lot on this task'

0:38:090:38:12

because they are the ones

0:38:120:38:14

who are going to be judging at the end of the day.

0:38:140:38:16

So, it's going well. Listen, I got the stronger team, no doubt.

0:38:160:38:19

Every person on this team is a performer,

0:38:190:38:21

so we're all going to be on stage at some point.

0:38:210:38:23

We're very music heavy.

0:38:230:38:24

We've got Penn, who's also pretty multi-talented.

0:38:240:38:27

-Shall I tell Teller to fly out?

-Yes.

-Cos we can do cups and balls.

0:38:270:38:30

It's about four minutes.

0:38:300:38:32

So, Teller will be in the variety show with me.

0:38:320:38:34

Let's do a Penn & Teller hunk.

0:38:340:38:36

I will be performing in the variety show and I'm bringing Penn & Teller.

0:38:360:38:40

'It's very important to me to do a Penn & Teller thing'

0:38:400:38:43

because I am a lot better with Teller that I am alone.

0:38:430:38:46

We'll do four-minute cups and balls, OK?

0:38:460:38:48

I'll tie it into whatever...

0:38:480:38:50

-You're going to cup some balls?

-Cups and balls.

-What?

0:38:500:38:52

-Oh, cups AND balls.

-This is very exciting.

0:38:520:38:55

-When he says inclusive, he means inclusive.

-Yes, very.

0:38:550:38:58

So, listen, everybody, this is, like I said, an incredible team.

0:38:580:39:01

Dee and Penn are helping out with the PSA part.

0:39:010:39:04

Debbie is working on the music.

0:39:040:39:06

Aubrey is doing a lot of work on the event.

0:39:060:39:08

'I think they have a very strong team.'

0:39:080:39:10

The thing I didn't hear about was raising money.

0:39:100:39:12

'In a task like this,

0:39:120:39:13

'you'd think he'd be calling in a lot of favours,

0:39:130:39:15

'spending a lot of time just doing that.'

0:39:150:39:17

It's one of the big criteria for the task,

0:39:170:39:19

and I didn't see any focus on that as of yet.

0:39:190:39:21

-So, it'll be Baby Love, Heatwave and Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch.

-OK.

0:39:210:39:25

If there's any way, Michael,

0:39:330:39:35

that you could help me and the Magic Johnson Foundation,

0:39:350:39:39

I would owe you big time.

0:39:390:39:40

-OVER PHONE:

-'Well, I think we could spring for a 5,000 donation.'

0:39:400:39:44

Oh, that's so cool!

0:39:440:39:45

I've had some nightmarish fundraising attempts

0:39:450:39:48

in the past on this show, so I've got to come through.

0:39:480:39:50

'But we only have a limited amount of time.'

0:39:500:39:53

Leno is coming again.

0:39:530:39:55

I called Eddie Murphy.

0:39:550:39:56

'I called Whoopi Goldberg. I called Chris Rock.'

0:39:560:39:59

I called George Lopez.

0:39:590:40:00

-OVER PHONE:

-'Just happened to speak to Tracy Morgan...'

-Right.

0:40:000:40:03

'..and he would love to help you raise money for Magic Johnson.'

0:40:030:40:06

Oh, my God.

0:40:060:40:07

'You know, I'm not sure how my money is comparing to Clay's money,'

0:40:070:40:10

but most of the people I've called are trying to help me

0:40:100:40:14

and that feels really good.

0:40:140:40:15

I was wondering if it was possible

0:40:150:40:17

for someone to get in touch with Seinfeld?

0:40:170:40:19

Magic Johnson charity event. If you get Alec Baldwin, call me back.

0:40:190:40:23

'Everybody's coming through hard. I chose this team for a reason.'

0:40:230:40:26

We're going to be all right.

0:40:260:40:28

Yay! Party!

0:40:280:40:31

Actually, all of our foundation donors already gave a lot,

0:40:330:40:36

so let's take a look at what we might be able to pull in.

0:40:360:40:39

As of this point of the day, I haven't really asked anyone

0:40:390:40:42

to step aside from their task to go

0:40:420:40:44

'and raise money, but I really was going to need'

0:40:440:40:46

everyone to bring in some money

0:40:460:40:48

if we had any chance at all of raising a large number.

0:40:480:40:51

Do you want to check to see if you can be on board and call me back?

0:40:510:40:54

I'm calling you to ask you if you would like to donate to charity.

0:40:540:40:58

We're putting on a celebrity event,

0:40:580:41:00

a celebrity charity event on Sunday evening.

0:41:000:41:03

-OVER PHONE:

-'Oh, OK.'

0:41:030:41:04

The fundraising for this task is pretty frightening to me.

0:41:040:41:07

I have to raise money by Sunday.

0:41:070:41:08

'On top of that,'

0:41:080:41:10

we're competing against Arsenio Hall and the Magic Johnson Foundation.

0:41:100:41:14

'That's two big names already who probably could bring in

0:41:140:41:19

'quite a few big donors,'

0:41:190:41:20

so I'm a little nervous

0:41:200:41:22

that we're not going to come anywhere near

0:41:220:41:24

to whatever Arsenio is able to pull in.

0:41:240:41:27

I have to raise a lot of money for right here at the end.

0:41:270:41:29

-OVER PHONE:

-'Well, listen, this is not a great time.'

0:41:290:41:33

OK, thanks.

0:41:340:41:35

I thought you'd be friends with Oprah and things like that, no?

0:41:450:41:50

My bad.

0:41:500:41:51

'We get in the van,'

0:41:510:41:52

head down to the event space

0:41:520:41:54

and everybody's still making calls trying to raise that money.

0:41:540:41:56

Hey, Jeff.

0:41:560:41:58

-OVER PHONE:

-'What's up, you guys?'

0:41:580:42:00

We need to know if you're friendly

0:42:000:42:01

enough with Charlie Sheen

0:42:010:42:03

to have him maybe come in on Sunday

0:42:030:42:05

and help us with this celebrity gala we're doing for charity.

0:42:050:42:09

No, it's to restart Arsenio Hall's career.

0:42:140:42:17

Ouch! Ouch!

0:42:170:42:18

We don't need Sheen or you, thank you. We're fine.

0:42:180:42:20

We'll do it on our own.

0:42:200:42:22

Is this the stage in here?

0:42:300:42:32

What a piece of real estate.

0:42:320:42:33

'We arrive at this warehouse where Clay and I

0:42:330:42:36

'will have separate parties going on side-by-side.'

0:42:360:42:40

So, this middle area is a performance area.

0:42:400:42:42

Our party is from that light there,

0:42:420:42:44

that first set of lights, back this way.

0:42:440:42:46

'This room I'm looking at,'

0:42:460:42:48

I've got to decorate this place.

0:42:480:42:49

I mean, it's barren. It's a football field.

0:42:490:42:51

'I'm not seeing how it's going to happen quick.'

0:42:510:42:54

We should get high boys that people stand and lean on.

0:42:540:42:57

-Those big tables.

-Nice high boy tables.

0:42:570:42:59

-Do you give a lot of parties? You give a lot of parties, right?

-Yeah.

0:43:010:43:03

And any ideas you have, cos you guys are probably better than us at...

0:43:030:43:07

And I'll help with the, you know, caterer.

0:43:070:43:09

-We can have the appetisers.

-Yeah, totally.

0:43:090:43:11

'I don't give parties,'

0:43:110:43:13

but that's the reason I chose Teresa,

0:43:130:43:14

cos I know she does that, she's a social animal.

0:43:140:43:17

She loves that,

0:43:170:43:18

'and between her and Lisa,'

0:43:180:43:20

I'm going to be all right, I hope.

0:43:200:43:21

The stage is there. It's going to be there.

0:43:210:43:24

So, I think... Hey, buddy. How are you?

0:43:240:43:26

-Hey, dude. What's up, man?

-How are you?

-Yeah, yeah.

0:43:260:43:29

Carl's the best!

0:43:290:43:30

'Carl from NY Lounge Decor shows up, and Teresa'

0:43:300:43:32

and myself and he start looking

0:43:320:43:34

through their website because they have a billion

0:43:340:43:36

'options there.'

0:43:360:43:38

We want something really nice.

0:43:380:43:39

Well, we have no windows here this time,

0:43:390:43:41

so if we do the up-lighting around the walls, it'll really make it pop.

0:43:410:43:44

'Arsenio really didn't worry about decor.'

0:43:440:43:47

'I don't think'

0:43:470:43:48

he's programmed to think about that stuff.

0:43:480:43:49

I don't think he is that into the details.

0:43:490:43:52

He's into the bigger picture.

0:43:520:43:54

'But since nobody's telling me what to do, I'm like,

0:43:540:43:57

'"Let's cover all bases. Why not? It can't hurt."'

0:43:570:44:00

-Caterer.

-OK, yeah.

-Yeah, we've got the menus.

0:44:000:44:02

-You know all about the food.

-She's a culinary expert.

-I know.

-Yes.

0:44:020:44:05

'Arsenio put me in charge of a lot.'

0:44:050:44:06

He put me in charge of the catering

0:44:060:44:08

'because, you know, I do have my cookbook, you know,'

0:44:080:44:11

so I was perfect for the job.

0:44:110:44:13

What looks good to you?

0:44:130:44:14

This kind of looks good, the pork loin.

0:44:140:44:16

And the mini lobster rolls.

0:44:160:44:20

-Mm-hm.

-How about steak tartar?

0:44:200:44:22

-Yeah, we could go along with that.

-That's great, right?

-Absolutely.

0:44:220:44:26

All right, I picked it, Arsenio.

0:44:260:44:28

-OK.

-Pork.

-Mm-hm.

0:44:280:44:31

I picked two fishes.

0:44:310:44:33

There's a heavy Muslim contingency here tomorrow.

0:44:330:44:36

-Really?

-SHE LAUGHS

0:44:360:44:38

Sorry. Mike.

0:44:380:44:40

Assalaamu Alaikum.

0:44:400:44:41

-I got chicken or beef...

-Yeah.

-..two fishes and a pork.

0:44:410:44:46

I trust you impeccably.

0:44:460:44:48

I think if you pick it,

0:44:480:44:49

-it's better than anything I could do.

-OK.

0:44:490:44:51

'I've entrusted something in Teresa and said,'

0:44:510:44:54

"Do it, baby. You have my total trust."

0:44:540:44:57

'But who knows, you know?

0:44:570:44:59

'When you trust people,'

0:44:590:45:00

it can go wrong.

0:45:000:45:01

You know, that's why a lot of people micromanage

0:45:010:45:04

and do everything themselves because there's a philosophy that,

0:45:040:45:07

"If I do it, no-one disappoints me."

0:45:070:45:08

'That's not how I want Team Arsenio to run.'

0:45:080:45:12

Thank you, Teresa.

0:45:120:45:13

Everyone's entering from here.

0:45:170:45:19

Then, as we move in, we're going to see something right here,

0:45:190:45:23

we're going to see something, like, over here,

0:45:230:45:26

and then window here, here, here

0:45:260:45:28

So you can move...kind of like snake through.

0:45:280:45:31

'I'm probably'

0:45:310:45:32

one of the strongest visualisers on this team

0:45:320:45:35

'and I think Clay knows that.

0:45:350:45:37

'And I'm also very disciplined'

0:45:370:45:40

and a perfectionist, and those are qualities that you want

0:45:400:45:42

when someone's planning your party.

0:45:420:45:44

This is what we're going to do. You walk in, you're going to see...

0:45:440:45:47

I'm going to do a black wicker

0:45:470:45:48

so I can break up the red and white colours with a white thing.

0:45:480:45:51

I might get some cute red throw pillows that are clowny.

0:45:510:45:53

So, we have this.

0:45:530:45:54

You'll see the seating in this area, which will feel very outdoorsy.

0:45:540:45:57

I think we should have two stilt-walkers.

0:45:570:45:59

You have a high ceiling. They can fit in here.

0:45:590:46:01

I think it's fabulous to feel something big.

0:46:010:46:03

I really want us in uniform,

0:46:030:46:04

and I could get one of my designer friends

0:46:040:46:06

to do custom circus outfits for everyone.

0:46:060:46:08

-That could be fabulous.

-For everyone? Like us?

-Yeah.

0:46:080:46:13

We won't have much time to change clothes.

0:46:140:46:15

Let me just think on it cos I'm good at that stuff

0:46:150:46:18

and I have a lot of connections.

0:46:180:46:19

'Aubrey is just as much a pistol as Aubrey has ever been.

0:46:190:46:22

'She's got a lot of great ideas.'

0:46:220:46:23

She goes 100mph with them

0:46:230:46:27

and it's a challenge still, sometimes,

0:46:270:46:31

to pull her back to a place that is...workable.

0:46:310:46:37

I want to do the balloon art

0:46:370:46:38

so you're walking in and you feel something magnificent.

0:46:380:46:41

Now, hold on. Talk to me about these balloons.

0:46:410:46:43

Balloons that we're going to all blow up on our own?

0:46:430:46:47

You could just rent a machine.

0:46:470:46:49

We could rent a machine for 40 bucks. Or I can do it.

0:46:490:46:52

Either way, we need to make sure they have the colouring,

0:46:520:46:54

that everything's established.

0:46:540:46:55

They had little, like, gift things with popcorn on them.

0:46:550:46:58

We can set those on the table.

0:46:580:47:00

You don't want just empty tables, nothing on them.

0:47:000:47:02

OK, slow down just a bit so we get everything here.

0:47:020:47:05

We need...to get the paint.

0:47:050:47:07

What we could do is just pick a base blue that's open

0:47:070:47:10

that keeps the room feeling like you're outside,

0:47:100:47:12

like when you're at The Venetian.

0:47:120:47:14

I don't want to paint the whole room.

0:47:140:47:15

-So...

-All we need to really do is get dirty-dog deep.

0:47:160:47:20

Listen, if we all have to call five people that we know,

0:47:200:47:23

-five people could paint that wall in 30 minutes.

-Mm-hm.

0:47:230:47:25

So, let's you call five people, I call five people.

0:47:250:47:28

-We'll get this done in an hour.

-Wait, wait, wait.

0:47:280:47:30

There's no way we're going to paint the whole room.

0:47:300:47:32

There's no reason to bring five people in.

0:47:320:47:34

There's no point in calling in people to paint these walls.

0:47:340:47:37

It's a disaster waiting to happen. We'll all be a mess.

0:47:370:47:40

We'll have half a wall not painted and we'll look a mess.

0:47:400:47:43

'I felt disrespected'

0:47:430:47:45

when Clay tried checking me.

0:47:450:47:47

I said "tried" because nobody checks me.

0:47:470:47:49

'I do certain things really well and when you ask me to do them,'

0:47:490:47:52

I'm going to do them to their fullest potential

0:47:520:47:54

and I don't want to be questioned. If you ask me to do something,

0:47:540:47:57

I will execute it better than you could have ever dreamed of.

0:47:570:48:00

'Let me execute my vision.'

0:48:000:48:03

-Five people in? No.

-My cousin is coming.

0:48:030:48:04

She's a decorative painter. She's calling everyone on her team.

0:48:040:48:07

-She paints murals.

-And she's a mural artist?

-Right.

0:48:070:48:10

'Aubrey had a vision of painting the walls,'

0:48:100:48:12

and it dawns on me,

0:48:120:48:14

"I have a mural painter in my family - my cousin Christine."

0:48:140:48:17

'So, I decided to ask her if she would be able'

0:48:170:48:20

to come to the table and paint a 77ft wall

0:48:200:48:25

in a matter of hours on a day's notice.

0:48:250:48:29

If we can get some nice murals...

0:48:290:48:30

Yeah, they're going to try to throw down...

0:48:300:48:32

..and she can draw something on a piece of paper

0:48:320:48:35

before she throws it on the wall to let us know what it'll look like...

0:48:350:48:38

-Have her sketch out what it'll look like...

-Yeah.

0:48:380:48:40

..cos I don't want her getting here and throwing paint up on the wall

0:48:400:48:43

and it doesn't look good at all.

0:48:430:48:45

Not that I don't trust your cousin,

0:48:450:48:46

but I'd want to see it before it goes on the wall.

0:48:460:48:48

Yeah, absolutely.

0:48:510:48:52

'My cousin, who's a decorative painter,

0:48:520:48:54

'she's coming to do a mural on the wall,'

0:48:540:48:55

and he's like, "I need to see a sketch,"

0:48:550:48:57

as if, like, she's dying to come do this mural.

0:48:570:48:59

'She's hustling to get something together,'

0:48:590:49:02

but at some point, he might just have to trust me

0:49:020:49:05

because I trust her.

0:49:050:49:06

-ON PHONE:

-'Hey, Clay.'

-So, what's going on right now?

0:49:160:49:18

'We asked if the caterer was providing plates and things

0:49:180:49:21

'and they're not. They're just doing little bar napkins.'

0:49:210:49:24

'It's the beginning of day two

0:49:240:49:25

'and Dee and Penn and I are in the van'

0:49:250:49:27

headed down to a park in New York City

0:49:270:49:29

to film our charity awareness ad.

0:49:290:49:31

'While we're doing this, there are a lot of errands to be run'

0:49:310:49:33

to pick things up for the party tomorrow,

0:49:330:49:35

and Debbie and Aubrey are handling that.

0:49:350:49:37

'The long story short is the paint thing was an oversight.

0:49:370:49:40

'We had to go physically get it.

0:49:400:49:42

'They can't send it in a cab and I don't want to wait...'

0:49:420:49:44

Listen, the paint is the last thing on my concern list today.

0:49:440:49:47

-If we don't have murals on the wall, I could give half a

-BLEEP

-less.

0:49:470:49:51

'Well, listen, what the problem was

0:49:510:49:53

'is we had to make an executive decision if we went for it.'

0:49:530:49:56

'My job right now is to really look at the big picture,

0:49:560:49:59

'but I've got to have my hand in everything.'

0:49:590:50:02

And it's tough to have different people throwing tiny minutia at me

0:50:020:50:06

when I'm stressed out already

0:50:060:50:07

'about making sure everything gets done.'

0:50:070:50:09

-Yeah, here's a baseball field.

-Oh, good, good, good. Grass. Trees.

0:50:090:50:13

'Our plan'

0:50:130:50:14

was to shoot everything in one general area.

0:50:140:50:17

'We figured, in any field, you've got a space where you could'

0:50:170:50:21

shoot the kids, and then you've got another look somewhere

0:50:210:50:23

'on the field to shoot Clay.'

0:50:230:50:25

Something died right here. Good Lord. Do you smell that?

0:50:250:50:29

New York City.

0:50:300:50:32

'The park that we're supposed to shoot in

0:50:320:50:34

-'smells like complete

-BLEEP.'

0:50:340:50:36

-It smelled like every single pile of dog

-BLEEP

0:50:360:50:38

-that has ever been

-BLEEP

-in New York City

0:50:380:50:40

was loaded up in that one location.

0:50:400:50:43

It's...something.

0:50:430:50:45

Yeah, it is absolutely that. Good God!

0:50:450:50:49

-'The

-BLEEP

-smelling park is the least'

0:50:490:50:51

of my problems because

0:50:510:50:52

the train that takes people from Manhattan to Brooklyn

0:50:520:50:55

'is right overhead, so there is no way

0:50:550:50:58

'that we can get any audio in this location.'

0:50:580:51:01

This is clearly not going to be good for audio.

0:51:010:51:03

Oh, this is fly. This'll work. And what a view.

0:51:090:51:13

This is better than Jennifer Beals' apartment

0:51:130:51:16

in Flashdance. TERESA LAUGHS

0:51:160:51:18

'My focus today is to shoot this'

0:51:180:51:20

charity awareness ad for the Magic Johnson Foundation.

0:51:200:51:22

So, we have these colours, so I guess... And that.

0:51:220:51:26

-That jacket looks like one I used to wear.

-Shocking.

0:51:260:51:30

'Here is how my charity awareness ad will go.'

0:51:300:51:33

We're going to have all these old school '80s looks,

0:51:330:51:37

'and then I've got to get in there and say, "These clothes,

0:51:370:51:39

'"these styles are gone, but you know what's still here?

0:51:390:51:42

'"AIDS, HIV."'

0:51:420:51:44

"Here's someone that knows a lot more about

0:51:440:51:46

-"the Magic Johnson Foundation than I do."

-Right. And then boom.

0:51:460:51:49

'It's a little tricky because Magic Johnson'

0:51:490:51:52

is on the West Coast,

0:51:520:51:53

and I'm having video shot of him and sent here.

0:51:530:51:57

-I'm sending my crew guys.

-Yeah.

0:51:570:51:59

-The crew guys are...pretty good...

-OK.

-..but they're not comedy guys,

0:51:590:52:03

so I'm going to try to talk them through what we want.

0:52:030:52:05

-And they get it.

-'I've got a great team.'

0:52:050:52:07

I've got Adam.

0:52:070:52:09

Adam doesn't even have a home in LA. He lives in an editing bay.

0:52:090:52:12

'So, I decided that Adam was our director.'

0:52:120:52:15

-How you doing, buddy?

-Good, man. I'm Paul. I'm your DP.

-Oh, perfect.

0:52:150:52:17

'Our crew comes in and we meet.'

0:52:170:52:19

There's a DP, which is a director of photography.

0:52:190:52:22

'He knows how to get what I want.'

0:52:220:52:24

We're going to all just stand in the same mark.

0:52:240:52:27

You're not going to step into frame?

0:52:270:52:28

It'll be a set frame that you'll be in already?

0:52:280:52:30

'I like that Arsenio'

0:52:300:52:32

let me direct the video.

0:52:320:52:34

'I've done a lot of that.'

0:52:340:52:36

Oh, my God. Look how great Lisa looks.

0:52:360:52:39

I love it, Lisa.

0:52:390:52:40

'I look just, like, totally idiotic'

0:52:400:52:42

and heinous and every adjective in between.

0:52:420:52:46

'But it's for a good cause. Everybody's just like,'

0:52:460:52:49

"Who cares? It's fun."

0:52:490:52:50

ARSENIO LAUGHS That is so cute.

0:52:500:52:52

Arsenio, you're doing the script.

0:52:520:52:54

Do it, man. Do it. Do it.

0:52:550:52:57

'I think Arsenio's doing a great job.

0:52:570:52:58

'He's not micromanaging or sort of overproducing.'

0:52:580:53:02

He's casual. I like that.

0:53:020:53:04

Settle. We're shooting. Action.

0:53:040:53:07

I'm Lisa Lampanelli, and this is me in the '80s.

0:53:070:53:10

Good. One more a little bit faster.

0:53:100:53:12

I'm Lisa Lampanelli, and this was me in the '80s.

0:53:120:53:15

-Good.

-OK?

-I think we got it, Lisa.

-Yay!

0:53:150:53:18

Penn, we're going to walk down the street.

0:53:240:53:26

We were expecting it to go really easy,

0:53:260:53:28

'and now we've got no place for these kids to play'

0:53:280:53:32

and all we're looking at is blacktop.

0:53:320:53:35

-There's a nice play set over there.

-It's locked. It's chained.

0:53:350:53:38

'In New York City, there are not'

0:53:380:53:40

many places where you can go and find grass,

0:53:400:53:42

'and we need grass for this shoot. We have absolutely'

0:53:420:53:45

no time to spare when it comes to putting this ad together.

0:53:450:53:48

Right now, we're so far behind,

0:53:480:53:50

we may have to resort to just going back to the studio,

0:53:500:53:52

which is going to suck ass.

0:53:520:53:54

I think this, done in a studio with a hardwood floor

0:53:580:54:02

with children playing, plays the idea just as well.

0:54:020:54:05

-Let's check the grass first.

-OK.

0:54:050:54:07

'I pushed'

0:54:070:54:08

to actually shoot our awareness ad in a studio

0:54:080:54:11

and just be done with it,

0:54:110:54:12

'but Clay wanted it outside, and Clay was very uptight.

0:54:120:54:16

'He has a wartime personality.'

0:54:160:54:18

He appears to me to be happier when there's a little conflict.

0:54:180:54:22

-Adam, hello.

-Hey, man.

-How are you? I'm Clay. Nice to meet you.

0:54:220:54:26

-Go easy on this hand. I'm Dee.

-Hi.

-How are you?

0:54:260:54:28

-I'm Penn.

-Nice to meet you guys.

0:54:280:54:30

We ran over here because there's so much noise

0:54:300:54:32

over at the other park that doing my,

0:54:320:54:35

you know, single to camera

0:54:350:54:37

was going to be near impossible to get the audio for.

0:54:370:54:39

'While we were walking down the street'

0:54:390:54:41

to see if there's any place at all

0:54:410:54:43

'that we could use, the director of photography actually showed up

0:54:430:54:46

'and we were able to talk to him'

0:54:460:54:47

about our problems

0:54:470:54:49

and kind of see if he could help us brainstorm some locations.

0:54:490:54:52

I'm wondering... Is that a courtyard over there, by that building?

0:54:520:54:55

I don't know if it's a courtyard.

0:54:550:54:56

There's some trees. Show us what you want to look at.

0:54:560:54:59

We're trying to connect Clay to the kids in the park

0:54:590:55:02

in an outdoor, park-like environment.

0:55:020:55:04

-Right, Clay?

-Yeah.

0:55:040:55:06

Let's shoot Paul out.

0:55:060:55:07

-Just put it on like a regular wig?

-Yeah.

-Yeah, yeah.

0:55:070:55:11

Oh, my God!

0:55:110:55:14

-You look like a poodle.

-SHE LAUGHS

0:55:140:55:17

'We're at the studio'

0:55:170:55:18

and we're recording our charity awareness ad.

0:55:180:55:20

'We're doing a theme from the '80s - how we looked back in the '80s.'

0:55:200:55:24

Get my agent on the phone.

0:55:240:55:25

And one of you just standing there looking like

0:55:250:55:28

you'd rather be anywhere else in the world than here.

0:55:280:55:30

'I'm happy to play'

0:55:300:55:32

any role to help Arsenio.

0:55:320:55:34

'If I have this image as the toughest guy in the world,

0:55:340:55:37

'or if I could play'

0:55:370:55:38

the dorkiest person in the world and help the team,

0:55:380:55:42

'I'm all about it.'

0:55:420:55:43

And one where you're looking around like,

0:55:430:55:45

"I hope none of my biking buddies see me."

0:55:450:55:47

-Good. It's a wrap.

-Thank you, Paul.

0:55:500:55:54

All right, Teresa. Settle!

0:55:540:55:57

'Back in the day, that's how we looked.'

0:55:570:55:59

My hair was high. It was naturally curly and it was huge.

0:55:590:56:02

I didn't even have

0:56:020:56:03

'to tease it that much. That's how big it was.'

0:56:030:56:05

Action.

0:56:050:56:06

I'm Teresa, and this was me in the '80s.

0:56:060:56:09

And now let's just do one that's bigger.

0:56:090:56:12

'I really love Teresa'

0:56:120:56:13

and I like directing her.

0:56:130:56:15

She has a great sort of youthful enthusiasm.

0:56:150:56:18

I'm Teresa, and this was me in the '80s.

0:56:180:56:21

Might be called naivete.

0:56:210:56:24

And I can say that freely

0:56:240:56:25

because she doesn't know what that word means.

0:56:250:56:28

She's at home looking that crap up right now.

0:56:280:56:31

Yeah, now give one where you're not proud of it,

0:56:310:56:34

-but what are you going to do?

-All right.

-Action.

0:56:340:56:36

I'm Teresa, eh, and this was me in the '80s.

0:56:360:56:39

-I think we're good, Arsenio.

-Oh, yeah.

-Thanks.

-OK.

0:56:390:56:42

'The shoot is going so well.'

0:56:420:56:44

I think Arsenio could be the next Celebrity Apprentice.

0:56:440:56:46

-I'm going to...

-It's time for you.

-I'm going to get my stuff together.

0:56:460:56:50

'I'm not'

0:56:500:56:51

a manager the way he is.

0:56:510:56:53

I don't just let people do their thing and just be, like, hands-off.

0:56:530:56:56

I'm Adam Carolla, and this was me in the '80s.

0:56:560:56:59

That's funny, man.

0:56:590:57:01

'But maybe that's the touch'

0:57:010:57:02

that was needed for this.

0:57:020:57:03

If he wins, he'll totally deserve it.

0:57:030:57:05

-All right, I think we got it.

-Yeah.

0:57:050:57:07

This is going to be a great PSA.

0:57:070:57:09

-We're just trying for it to seem park-ish.

-OK.

0:57:140:57:17

Without seeming too New York City-ish.

0:57:170:57:18

Penn, Clay, myself and the DP

0:57:180:57:21

'we're wandering around looking for grass.

0:57:210:57:24

'Anything that would just'

0:57:240:57:25

be aesthetically pleasing

0:57:250:57:27

'for the video shoot.'

0:57:270:57:29

It's sunnier over here and will be even sunnier.

0:57:290:57:32

Well, we don't mind the playground.

0:57:330:57:35

We do mind the bars on the windows.

0:57:350:57:37

'At this point,'

0:57:370:57:38

we're really running out of options,

0:57:380:57:40

'but we notice a baseball field a little bit further down the street.'

0:57:400:57:44

-Hey, I'm Clay Aiken. How are you?

-Bob. Pleasure.

0:57:440:57:46

-Nice to meet you, Bob. You guys have a game going on here?

-We do.

0:57:460:57:50

-Or is it just a scrimmage of some kind?

-It's a game.

-A game?

0:57:500:57:52

We were hoping maybe you guys weren't using this for much longer,

0:57:520:57:55

or hoping that it was just a practice

0:57:550:57:57

and we might be able to use your outfield.

0:57:570:57:59

Guys, this is really a distraction.

0:57:590:58:01

-I want to play baseball.

-I understand.

0:58:010:58:03

-We're not trying to cause a problem.

-Wait a minute. You are...?

0:58:030:58:06

-I'm Clay Aiken. How are you?

-Oh, my God!

0:58:060:58:08

-What's your name?

-Bill Martino.

-Bill, nice to meet you.

0:58:080:58:10

-I voted for you.

-I appreciate you trying.

-I voted for you.

0:58:100:58:13

-I'm trying to win something else right now.

-Oh, my gosh.

0:58:130:58:15

'The coach who runs over is actually pretty excited

0:58:150:58:18

'that it's myself and Dee and Penn.'

0:58:180:58:21

For a second there, I thought, "Wait.

0:58:210:58:23

"We may actually be able to make this thing work."

0:58:230:58:25

-We'll let you do your thing.

-Sorry, man!

-Sorry about that.

0:58:300:58:33

'At this point,'

0:58:330:58:34

I'm getting very frustrated

0:58:340:58:36

'because we're really cutting it close

0:58:360:58:38

'on the schedule I've set up for the day.

0:58:380:58:40

'Plan A has fallen through, plan B is now falling through,

0:58:400:58:42

'plan C is gone and we're now'

0:58:420:58:45

-at plan F for "we're

-BLEEP."

0:58:450:58:47

There's no other grassy area, like, around here.

0:58:470:58:50

We're in New York.

0:58:500:58:51

-There's a shortage of grass and green in general.

-Yeah.

0:58:510:58:54

-We can do it right here.

-Really?

0:59:000:59:02

If they come down and hassle us, we'll deal with it.

0:59:020:59:05

We set up right here, get our wide shot.

0:59:050:59:07

-If they throw us out, that's fine.

-I'm not worried about that.

0:59:070:59:10

'We still wanted'

0:59:100:59:11

to have a grassy place for the kids to play,

0:59:110:59:13

'and Dee and Penn have discovered a small, grassy area'

0:59:130:59:16

just underneath a high-rise

0:59:160:59:18

'Housing Authority project.

0:59:180:59:21

'It is not the most beautiful location,

0:59:210:59:23

'but the director of photography feels like'

0:59:230:59:25

he can shoot this in a way that no-one will even know where it is.

0:59:250:59:28

I'm Clay. What's your name?

0:59:280:59:30

-Sebastian.

-Sebastian, nice to meet you.

0:59:300:59:32

-What's your name, darling?

-My name is Talia.

0:59:320:59:35

Talia, nice to meet you.

0:59:350:59:36

-I'm Anthony.

-Anthony, nice to meet you.

0:59:360:59:38

'Once we found that location,'

0:59:380:59:40

the crew showed up, the actors showed up,

0:59:400:59:42

and we were ready to shoot.

0:59:420:59:43

OK, guys, come over here for a second.

0:59:430:59:45

Guys, come over here with me.

0:59:450:59:47

'For the charity awareness ad, the concept is

0:59:470:59:49

'to have these children playing with a parachute and then make'

0:59:490:59:52

the audience not know which one had a disability.

0:59:520:59:54

'That's really what the National Inclusion Project is about.'

0:59:540:59:57

We're going to shake it

0:59:570:59:59

and you want to get the ball to go off the other side.

0:59:591:00:01

Wait. I'll tell you when.

1:00:011:00:02

You don't want it to come off on your side.

1:00:021:00:04

Are you ready? Go!

1:00:041:00:06

Don't let it come off on your side.

1:00:061:00:08

'As soon as I sat down and started playing'

1:00:081:00:10

with the kids, the stress from earlier in the day

1:00:101:00:13

completely went away, and I had a really nice time.

1:00:131:00:16

When I say three, hold your arms up as high as you can.

1:00:161:00:19

When I say four, let it go.

1:00:191:00:21

-Now, do you let it go when I say three? KIDS:

-No!

1:00:211:00:23

-Do you let it go after I say three? KIDS:

-Yes!

-No.

1:00:231:00:27

Let's practise. One, two, three.

1:00:271:00:31

Four.

1:00:321:00:34

Anthony!

1:00:341:00:35

'Clay has a degree in special ed,'

1:00:351:00:38

and it didn't take two seconds before he was

1:00:381:00:40

'in full teacher mode

1:00:401:00:43

'working with those kids, entertaining those kids.'

1:00:431:00:45

He was amazing.

1:00:451:00:47

Stop. Don't tell people they look like things. That's not nice.

1:00:471:00:50

You're not watching me. I need you to play along and not goof off.

1:00:501:00:54

Talia, none of that.

1:00:541:00:55

'Working with kids'

1:00:551:00:56

can lift your spirits,

1:00:561:00:58

'but trying to shoot this ad together was somewhat chaotic.'

1:00:581:01:01

Laugh, laugh, laugh! Pretend you're having fun.

1:01:011:01:04

OK, stop!

1:01:081:01:09

You look so good, Arsenio.

1:01:091:01:11

Can we frame up a little bit,

1:01:111:01:14

get the basketball out of there?

1:01:141:01:16

'Adam went out with Teresa'

1:01:161:01:17

and bought me a beaded jacket

1:01:171:01:20

'and a Michael Jackson glove and, like,'

1:01:201:01:22

a Rudy Ray Moore Dolomite wig.

1:01:221:01:24

I don't know how that figured into it,

1:01:241:01:26

but that's how my hair looked

1:01:261:01:27

'back then, and I threw it on.'

1:01:271:01:29

And action.

1:01:291:01:31

Hi, I'm Arsenio Hall.

1:01:311:01:33

Fortunately, we got rid of all the fashion and the hair from the '80s,

1:01:331:01:36

but unfortunately, we still have HIV and AIDS.

1:01:361:01:40

Here's a man that knows a lot more about it than I do. Earvin.

1:01:401:01:43

Good. I think we're good, Arsenio.

1:01:451:01:47

'We got everything shot.'

1:01:471:01:48

'As much as this comedy part is important to break the ice,'

1:01:481:01:51

it's very dangerous to do funny things

1:01:511:01:53

when you're talking about serious subjects,

1:01:531:01:55

'but I want to get their attention with humour.'

1:01:551:01:58

You know, make them smile.

1:01:581:01:59

And then I'll have Magic give them the facts,

1:01:591:02:02

'so I need the Magic Johnson stuff from the West Coast to come.'

1:02:021:02:06

Gary.

1:02:061:02:07

All right, so, Gary,

1:02:081:02:09

are you on your way to Mr Johnson's house?

1:02:091:02:12

OK, good.

1:02:141:02:15

So, um, you know what we want.

1:02:151:02:19

We're going to start with a basketball pass to Magic.

1:02:191:02:22

Just make sure that ball comes in from the front

1:02:221:02:25

and, you know, nobody's hands are in it.

1:02:251:02:28

A good, stiff chest pass, OK?

1:02:281:02:31

The one guy who I knew and trusted, who's sort of my creative guy,

1:02:311:02:36

was not able to go on the journey,

1:02:361:02:39

'so that just left me with my technical guys.'

1:02:391:02:42

-From camera right. Right, Arsenio?

-I threw it to camera right.

1:02:421:02:47

'We only need ten,'

1:02:471:02:48

12 seconds of Magic Johnson,

1:02:481:02:50

'but there was a lot of pieces to the puzzle.'

1:02:501:02:53

He threw it to camera right, so the guy who's going to catch it

1:02:531:02:57

is going to be on the right side of the camera.

1:02:571:02:59

I mean, the guy who's going to throw it

1:02:591:03:01

is going to be on the right side of the camera.

1:03:011:03:04

The whole ball gag flying in...

1:03:041:03:07

I know ball gag sounds very homoerotic,

1:03:071:03:09

but in this case, it was literally a ball gag.

1:03:091:03:12

'And we wanted continuity on the ball gag.'

1:03:121:03:16

It's coming from the right side of the camera, right? Yeah.

1:03:161:03:19

You know what? Actually, it'd be the left side.

1:03:191:03:23

Oh, who knows?

1:03:231:03:24

'Camera left or camera right. I don't know. Listen,'

1:03:241:03:28

I've been doing this for, like, 15 years.

1:03:281:03:30

I still can't figure out camera left versus camera right

1:03:301:03:33

or upstage versus downstage.

1:03:331:03:35

I don't know what direction that is.

1:03:351:03:36

Paul, when they throw the ball to Magic,

1:03:361:03:38

what side of the camera should they be on? Camera...?

1:03:381:03:42

The ball should go from...

1:03:421:03:44

Um, it should come in...

1:03:441:03:45

-It should come in from the left.

-It comes in frame left

1:03:451:03:48

and it'll leave frame left too.

1:03:481:03:51

Don't disappoint us.

1:03:511:03:52

OK, bye.

1:03:521:03:53

They're with Magic now.

1:03:561:03:58

Half the battle's over.

1:04:001:04:02

'So, Adam and I are going'

1:04:021:04:03

to head over to the editing bay

1:04:031:04:05

'so we can finish this PSA.'

1:04:051:04:06

-So, here's the plan.

-Yes.

1:04:061:04:08

We go to editing, you all go fundraise.

1:04:081:04:11

'I want Teresa, Lisa and Paul'

1:04:111:04:14

to go back to the hotel and don't hang up that phone...

1:04:141:04:17

We'll catch you guys later.

1:04:171:04:19

'..and get me money for the Magic Johnson Foundation'

1:04:191:04:21

cos I know Clay is working hard on his phone.

1:04:211:04:24

Thank you. Peace.

1:04:241:04:27

I'm following you, Debbie Gibson.

1:04:371:04:39

'We got to the rehearsal space to arrange all of the music

1:04:391:04:42

'because we have an entire show to put together.'

1:04:421:04:44

Our team is musical,

1:04:441:04:46

'so we're just going to serve it up in the finale'

1:04:461:04:48

and give them a show they'll never forget.

1:04:481:04:50

-There you are. I was coming to find you.

-Hi!

1:04:501:04:52

'Sky is my personal musical director when I tour,

1:04:521:04:55

'and I enlisted his help'

1:04:551:04:57

in working on the arrangements for our medleys

1:04:571:04:59

in the variety show today.

1:04:591:05:01

So, we go, "Ladies and gentlemen,

1:05:011:05:02

"welcome to The Whatever and Whatever Show Variety Hour."

1:05:021:05:05

Start with Baby Love.

1:05:051:05:07

# Baby love, my baby love... #

1:05:071:05:11

'The minute the music started to play, it was like'

1:05:111:05:15

I was completely in my element.

1:05:151:05:17

-That could be in the same key, I think.

-OK.

1:05:171:05:19

'Ah, this is what I do.'

1:05:191:05:20

I live and breathe music

1:05:201:05:22

'and arranging and parts and choreography

1:05:221:05:24

'and so I just felt at home.'

1:05:241:05:26

# Shake your love Just can't shake your love... #

1:05:261:05:30

'You know, it's been so long since Debbie's been on the show

1:05:301:05:33

'that I just forgot how amazing

1:05:331:05:35

'having to hear Shake Your Love every five minutes really is.'

1:05:351:05:38

# Shake your love I just can't shake your love. #

1:05:381:05:41

She loves to hear her sing probably more than anyone else does.

1:05:411:05:45

-It's Shake Your Love.

-Got it.

-These are complicated lyrics.

1:05:451:05:48

-Brace yourself. Ready?

-OK.

-It took me hours to write.

1:05:481:05:50

-"I just can't shake your love."

-That rhymes.

1:05:501:05:53

"Shake your love.

1:05:531:05:54

"I just can't shake your love."

1:05:541:05:58

-You sang it for

-BLEEP

-ever.

1:05:581:06:00

Somebody, kill me.

1:06:001:06:01

-SHE LAUGHS

-Oh, my God.

1:06:011:06:05

'It's hard because I want to just take over and get it all done,

1:06:051:06:09

'but at the same time, Debbie is, like,'

1:06:091:06:11

my elder in the music industry,

1:06:111:06:13

so I want to be respectful of her and not step on her toes,

1:06:131:06:15

'even if her area of music isn't really that hot any more.'

1:06:151:06:18

Bringing it back to the greatest musical decade of all time!

1:06:181:06:22

# Shake your love I just can't shake your love. #

1:06:221:06:26

-Hey, hey, hey.

-Hey.

-How are you?

1:06:281:06:31

-All right. How's it going? Anthony.

-Hey, hey, hey.

1:06:311:06:33

'So, we're here at the editing bay.'

1:06:331:06:35

We have the stuff we shot with my funny team

1:06:351:06:38

'and we're waiting for the footage from Magic

1:06:381:06:40

'to come to the East Coast,'

1:06:401:06:41

and then I get to edit it all together.

1:06:411:06:43

It's going to be great cos the stuff we shot here is so good.

1:06:431:06:46

All I need is a little bit of Magic.

1:06:461:06:48

-Let's work our order out.

-What do we want to see first?

1:06:481:06:51

I think Lisa's visual image is the...

1:06:511:06:53

-Yes, I would start with Lisa.

-OK.

1:06:531:06:55

'I'm Lisa Lampanelli, and this is me in the '80s.'

1:06:571:07:00

-You want this one?

-Absolutely.

-OK.

1:07:001:07:02

Um, let's go on to Teresa.

1:07:021:07:05

'I think Arsenio and I work well together.'

1:07:051:07:08

Editing the charity awareness ad was pretty good,

1:07:081:07:11

and we had a good editor,

1:07:111:07:12

'and Arsenio, he was trying to raise money

1:07:121:07:15

'while I was doing the direction.'

1:07:151:07:16

And then he'd chime in with a good call

1:07:161:07:18

every five minutes or so and

1:07:181:07:20

'it was copacetic.'

1:07:201:07:22

-I love that.

-Mm-hm.

1:07:221:07:24

Sitting here, I've raised another 20,000.

1:07:241:07:27

'While I'm editing, I continue to try to raise money.'

1:07:271:07:30

My close friends come through for me. I mean,

1:07:301:07:33

I've called Leno twice and he never says no.

1:07:331:07:37

'But there are other people who you think might help you,

1:07:371:07:40

'might be your friend - they run from you.'

1:07:401:07:42

But you know what I love about the people who have disappointed me

1:07:421:07:45

in the fundraising element of this?

1:07:451:07:47

-I ain't got to

-BLEEP

-with them no more.

1:07:471:07:50

'They let me off the hook'

1:07:501:07:52

-for the

-BLEEP

-friendship that we have.

1:07:521:07:53

I've got some people that I can go back and when they say,

1:07:531:07:56

"Hey, you know, I need you to..."

1:07:561:07:58

-"BLEEP

-you.

-BLEEP

-you." You know? I can do that now

1:07:581:08:02

'cos I am so glad I've been able to flush out who's who.'

1:08:021:08:05

ON TV: 'Can you tell which of these children has a disability?

1:08:081:08:11

'We all want to feel included -

1:08:111:08:13

'children with disabilities, children without disabilities.'

1:08:131:08:15

-Pretty good.

-I like that one. The "let's all play together"

1:08:151:08:18

from the one prior to it is my favourite.

1:08:181:08:20

-No, I...

-What up?

1:08:201:08:22

-Everything going well?

-So well. So well.

1:08:221:08:25

'While Dee and Penn and I are working on the editing,'

1:08:251:08:28

Aubrey and Debbie stop by to take a look at the video.

1:08:281:08:30

-Any luck at all?

-This person said no and this person is, like...

1:08:301:08:34

'On top of that, we have to be fundraising,

1:08:341:08:36

'so we have to be making phone calls'

1:08:361:08:38

and raising money and trying to sell these tickets

1:08:381:08:40

for as much money as possible.

1:08:401:08:42

You tell her that I don't want to come in second on another TV show,

1:08:421:08:46

so she needs to make it big.

1:08:461:08:48

I want to take the audio off that first one...

1:08:481:08:50

-Yeah, for the first one.

-..and use that as our template.

-OK.

1:08:501:08:53

-So, we'll start laying stuff in, all right?

-OK.

1:08:531:08:55

"Can you tell which one of these children has a disability?

1:08:551:08:59

"Neither can they." MUSIC BEGINS TO PLAY

1:08:591:09:01

Ooh, I kind of like that cos it comes in with that

1:09:011:09:03

as soon as I say, "The National inclusion Project."

1:09:031:09:05

OK. Four and 11.

1:09:051:09:08

'Dee has edited many, many different videos in his time,'

1:09:081:09:12

so I handed a lot of that authority over to Dee and Penn.

1:09:121:09:15

Watch this. This is the edit.

1:09:151:09:17

'Can you tell which of these children has a disability?

1:09:171:09:20

'Neither can they. The National Inclusion Project

1:09:201:09:22

'wants to leave the disabilities on the sidelines

1:09:221:09:25

'and let all children play together.

1:09:251:09:26

'I'm Clay Aiken, and we need your help

1:09:261:09:28

'to make it easier for children with disabilities to belong.'

1:09:281:09:31

Should there not be music up the whole first part?

1:09:311:09:33

I like the music up front, if we can keep it quiet.

1:09:331:09:35

I'm telling you, what happens is it hits you and it's like this.

1:09:351:09:38

And it doesn't have that...

1:09:381:09:39

Are you saying, "Should there be music upfront?"

1:09:391:09:42

-Maybe there shouldn't.

-There shouldn't? I like it there.

1:09:421:09:45

Listen to the music again.

1:09:451:09:46

'Debbie and I had a disagreement about where the music should be,

1:09:461:09:49

'when it should come in.'

1:09:491:09:50

These decisions sort of have to be mine

1:09:501:09:52

because nobody else is at risk

1:09:521:09:53

for being fired this week except for me.

1:09:531:09:55

It hit me like a Mack truck, and I didn't get any emotional impact yet.

1:09:551:09:59

The children are the music, to me, in the beginning,

1:09:591:10:02

and when you clutter it, it just...

1:10:021:10:04

Yeah, I got your point. I got your point.

1:10:041:10:07

I absolutely do respect Debbie.

1:10:071:10:08

'I did find myself not wanting to argue with her.'

1:10:081:10:11

I like the music up front. Listen to the music again.

1:10:181:10:21

I don't want to listen to the music, I want to just...

1:10:211:10:23

The music is not music. It's just a bit. It's a pad.

1:10:231:10:27

Where would you start the music?

1:10:271:10:29

It's just a pad at the beginning.

1:10:321:10:34

'Debbie is'

1:10:341:10:35

a very strong person, she's got a lot of creative ideas,

1:10:351:10:38

'but this is Clay's task'

1:10:381:10:40

and it's his game to lose right now.

1:10:401:10:44

So, it really, ultimately, comes down to him.

1:10:441:10:46

-I like the pad.

-I like the pad. I don't think it's busy.

1:10:461:10:50

-OK, I'll shut up now.

-I'm not saying that.

-No, no, no.

1:10:501:10:52

I mean, I'll just leave you with that

1:10:521:10:54

and then you do whatever, creatively, you want to do.

1:10:541:10:57

I do want the pad in there.

1:10:571:10:58

-Hello? ON PHONE:

-'Blanche here.'

1:11:001:11:03

Blanche, this is Leslie. How are you?

1:11:031:11:06

I got a phone call from Lisa Lampanelli.

1:11:061:11:07

'She introduced herself as Blanche and me as Leslie

1:11:071:11:10

'from our puppet improv performance a few weeks ago.'

1:11:101:11:13

-'I have a question for you.'

-I have an answer for you.

1:11:131:11:17

OK, you were so nice, Clay Aiken, AKA Blanche.

1:11:171:11:21

'Anyway, you were so fantastic to help me raise so much money

1:11:211:11:24

'for my gay men's health crisis charity

1:11:241:11:27

'that I feel I would like to reserve a ticket

1:11:271:11:30

'in my name to your gala tomorrow

1:11:301:11:33

'and I would like to bring you a cheque.'

1:11:331:11:35

-Holy crap. That's awesome, Lisa.

-That's just delightful.

1:11:351:11:38

-That was really nice.

-Are you going to send us a cheque?

1:11:381:11:40

-Is that what you're telling me?

-'I'm not going to send it.

1:11:401:11:43

'I'll either bring it or have them bring it for you,

1:11:431:11:46

'so you can expect me at your gala.'

1:11:461:11:48

Oh, we are thrilled. Thank you, Lisa.

1:11:481:11:50

'That was,'

1:11:501:11:51

really, one of the most amazing points

1:11:511:11:53

of this entire competition to me

1:11:531:11:55

'because Lisa's working for Arsenio

1:11:551:11:57

'and she was still going to make a donation to my charity.

1:11:571:12:00

-'So,

-BLEEP

-Arsenio.'

1:12:001:12:02

Can you use that?

1:12:021:12:04

I appreciate it. I've had just as much reward working with you,

1:12:041:12:07

-but I'll take your money anyway.

-'You got it, baby.

1:12:071:12:09

-'I'll see you guys tomorrow. Good luck.'

-Thanks. Bye.

1:12:091:12:12

I can send you the address of the location

1:12:121:12:14

and you can bring us a big cheque.

1:12:141:12:15

Clay, so, I got this guy.

1:12:151:12:17

He was like, "Can I give you the number tomorrow?"

1:12:171:12:20

And I said yes, but I was like,

1:12:201:12:22

"We're used to raising, like, 500,000 on this show."

1:12:221:12:26

So, hopefully, could be a big one.

1:12:261:12:29

I mean, he'll definitely not give anything under 10 grand.

1:12:291:12:34

-SHE LAUGHS

-Oh, my God.

1:12:341:12:36

Clay Aiken kissed me. I'm a Claymate.

1:12:361:12:39

-Oh, that's funny.

-Oh, my God.

1:12:391:12:41

Now we're playing with real money, folks.

1:12:411:12:43

'It's like, "Wow." And I think we not only'

1:12:431:12:45

are running this show pretty smoothly here,

1:12:451:12:47

but we're making money.

1:12:471:12:49

THEY LAUGH

1:12:491:12:54

ON TV: 'Hi, I'm Arsenio Hall.

1:12:571:12:59

'Fortunately, we got rid of the hair and the fashion from the '80s,

1:12:591:13:02

'but unfortunately, we still have HIV and AIDS.'

1:13:021:13:06

'Adam and I are in the editing facility.'

1:13:061:13:08

It looks great. Everybody's funny.

1:13:081:13:10

'Now, I've got to trim the fat and condense it

1:13:101:13:12

'cos it's only half of the overall piece,'

1:13:121:13:14

and I'm waiting for the Magic Johnson stuff

1:13:141:13:16

'that's going to be uploaded to me from the West Coast.'

1:13:161:13:18

So, all right, we don't have any Magic Johnson stuff.

1:13:181:13:22

Hello. What's up?

1:13:241:13:27

Cool. All right, thank you.

1:13:271:13:29

Apparently, it's still uploading.

1:13:301:13:31

They're trying to get in touch with whoever's sending it

1:13:311:13:34

to find out, you know, how big the file is,

1:13:341:13:36

how much longer we're looking at.

1:13:361:13:38

I mean, it's academic, right? It's sent?

1:13:381:13:41

-It's still in the process of being sent.

-Yeah, it's sending.

-Yeah.

1:13:411:13:44

But it's either going to take another four minutes

1:13:441:13:47

-or another 35 minutes.

-Yeah.

-But either way,

1:13:471:13:49

-we're waiting any way you look at it.

-Yeah.

-All right.

1:13:491:13:53

Getting comfortable now.

1:13:531:13:54

'Yeah, I had my guys'

1:13:541:13:55

out in LA film the Magic Johnson footage

1:13:551:13:59

'and I've never told Arsenio, but'

1:13:591:14:01

-they're not a professional crew.

-HE CHUCKLES

1:14:011:14:04

They're more audio guys. They're a little more podcast-related

1:14:041:14:07

than they are video-related,

1:14:071:14:08

'so I was nervous.

1:14:081:14:10

'I'm the type of person who's wired to feel more pressure

1:14:101:14:13

'if I'm watching someone else's back.'

1:14:131:14:17

'Here's a man who knows a lot about it. Earv.'

1:14:171:14:20

-Hey, Sky. I'm Clay.

-Clay, Sky.

-Nice to meet you.

1:14:261:14:29

I've heard a lot about you.

1:14:291:14:31

If she likes you, then it must be great.

1:14:311:14:33

'When we get to the studio,'

1:14:331:14:34

Debbie's personal music director is already there.

1:14:341:14:37

They've been working all day.

1:14:371:14:39

'So, I ask Debbie to just run through the medley

1:14:391:14:42

'exactly as they had written it so I could make changes myself.'

1:14:421:14:45

# Baby love My baby love

1:14:451:14:48

# I need you Oh, how I need you

1:14:481:14:52

-# Tell me what you

-I do wrong

1:14:521:14:55

# To make you stay away so long

1:14:551:14:58

-# Baby love

-Baby!

1:14:581:15:00

# Oh, baby! #

1:15:001:15:02

'It's funny to see Dee, who's this hard-core rocker,'

1:15:021:15:04

singing Baby Love. Kind of amazing. I don't know.

1:15:041:15:07

I think there's a new future

1:15:071:15:09

in romantic music for Dee.

1:15:091:15:11

# I can't offer you proof

1:15:111:15:14

# Of why we should never be apart

1:15:141:15:18

# And that is love... #

1:15:181:15:19

How about that? We could go into his right here.

1:15:191:15:23

I'm not going to make any notes until you've proposed a final thing.

1:15:231:15:26

I don't know. It could go any way. It just depends what you want.

1:15:261:15:29

I know, but I want you to propose it and then I can tell you.

1:15:291:15:32

I don't know enough of the songs to be able to make decisions right now.

1:15:321:15:35

-OK.

-So, you propose to me

1:15:351:15:36

-and then I'll tell you if you need to cut or add.

-I'll propose.

-OK.

1:15:361:15:39

'It was very tough for Debbie to start at the top

1:15:391:15:42

'and run all the way through without stopping and making changes,'

1:15:421:15:45

so it was a struggle for me to get everyone to start

1:15:451:15:48

and continue on through without stopping.

1:15:481:15:50

OK, start from the top of the ending.

1:15:501:15:53

-Clay's got to have it squeaky-clean.

-Tell me when you're ready.

1:15:531:15:56

-From the top.

-# Why won't you let me shake it? #

1:15:561:15:58

-Tell me when you're ready. From the top.

-OK.

-OK.

1:15:581:16:01

Clay was still doing his teeth-grinding thing

1:16:011:16:04

'and he was still uptight.

1:16:041:16:07

'Winning Celebrity Apprentice is fiercely important to him

1:16:071:16:10

'and he's driven and that's the mood you would expect him to be in.

1:16:101:16:15

'Although I've worked on projects'

1:16:151:16:17

where I was in control

1:16:171:16:19

and didn't have that mood and it seemed to me

1:16:191:16:22

'that things got done just as quickly and just as well.'

1:16:221:16:25

Just worry about the music right now.

1:16:251:16:27

I could push him out of the way and do Shake Your Love.

1:16:271:16:29

That's not the song,

1:16:291:16:30

-and I only care about the music right now.

-OK.

1:16:301:16:32

I want to hear from the first note to the last note.

1:16:321:16:34

-We're just thinking creatively.

-I don't want to.

1:16:341:16:37

I want to hear from the first note to the last note.

1:16:371:16:39

-I need to time it.

-OK.

-We don't have much time.

1:16:391:16:41

All right, but do you want me to do it

1:16:411:16:43

like I just did it last time or not?

1:16:431:16:44

I want you two to work out the music only and not the intro.

1:16:441:16:48

'I was a little frustrated with Clay'

1:16:481:16:50

in terms of the music cos I felt like Clay delegated that to me

1:16:501:16:53

'and then really started taking over. I was feeling'

1:16:531:16:57

pushed aside and confused as to what my role was.

1:16:571:16:59

'It makes me not want to support him.'

1:16:591:17:02

OK, let's start from the top cos then I want to time it.

1:17:021:17:04

I'm just trying to see if my cousin is...coming.

1:17:101:17:14

'So, I put in a call to my cousin'

1:17:141:17:16

Christine who's a decorative mural painter

1:17:161:17:19

'to check on the status of the sketch

1:17:191:17:21

'of what's going to go up on the wall

1:17:211:17:23

'for our carnival-themed event. It is'

1:17:231:17:25

coming together, but it's taking a little longer than she expected.

1:17:251:17:28

My cousin's feverishly working.

1:17:281:17:30

-Mm-hm.

-I asked her if she could come.

1:17:301:17:32

She said, honestly, her time is spent better sketching back there.

1:17:321:17:35

If I don't have a sketch tonight, there's nothing on the wall.

1:17:351:17:38

OK, here's the deal, by the way. I didn't, like...

1:17:381:17:42

She wasn't... She moved heaven and earth to do this.

1:17:421:17:45

I said last night that I wanted to see a sketch on paper

1:17:451:17:48

-before she did anything.

-I agree. I got you.

-OK.

-OK.

1:17:481:17:51

'I'm responsible for this room'

1:17:511:17:53

and I've got to make sure I believe

1:17:531:17:55

'in everyone's ability to do something.

1:17:551:17:57

'Obviously, I don't want something

1:17:571:17:59

'that looks like a child went up there with a crayon

1:17:591:18:02

'and just drew something,'

1:18:021:18:03

so paint will not go on the wall unless I've seen some sketches.

1:18:031:18:07

This is where real life and the show collide for me

1:18:071:18:11

because it's a family member that I asked to give up work this weekend

1:18:111:18:15

and to move heaven and earth and she's recruited about 15 people.

1:18:151:18:18

I did tell you last night that I wanted it.

1:18:181:18:20

-It's not like she had...

-But you also kind of put her in charge

1:18:201:18:23

-and said, "Make this space great."

-You're right. I did.

1:18:231:18:25

But I did say last night, verbatim,

1:18:251:18:28

"I want to see it before she commits to putting it up."

1:18:281:18:31

'Debbie's argument is that her cousin'

1:18:311:18:33

really rearranged her schedule

1:18:331:18:35

to be able to come here and do this for us.

1:18:351:18:37

And while I absolutely appreciate that,

1:18:371:18:39

I sort of don't care.

1:18:391:18:40

Clay, I talked to her today. She's...

1:18:401:18:42

If I don't see it, I don't want to do it.

1:18:421:18:44

-Honest to God.

-She's really legitimate.

1:18:441:18:46

I understand, but I am not putting anything on the walls of that room

1:18:461:18:50

unless I've seen what it's going to be.

1:18:501:18:51

'Clay would make an absolute mistake pulling the plug on the mural.

1:18:511:18:54

'When you ask someone to do something'

1:18:541:18:56

and you delegate them a task,

1:18:561:18:58

you have to just trust that they will get it done.

1:18:581:19:00

That's why we were brought back to help the project managers -

1:19:001:19:03

'so that we can take on some of the responsibility

1:19:031:19:05

'that's on their shoulders.'

1:19:051:19:07

-She's pulling the impossible together in 24 hours.

-Yeah.

1:19:071:19:09

And I was asked to do it by...

1:19:091:19:11

I'm going to cry right now because I put myself on the line with her

1:19:111:19:14

and she cancelled all kinds of stuff and I...

1:19:141:19:17

-Clay, you have to deal with this.

-I've dealt with it.

1:19:171:19:21

'Tomorrow is super important for Clay.

1:19:211:19:23

'I mean, it's the event.'

1:19:231:19:25

At this point, it's really imperative

1:19:251:19:27

'that Clay work well with everybody and get the most out of everybody,'

1:19:271:19:31

but Clay's not going to budge and Debbie is very upset.

1:19:311:19:34

I mean, she's practically in tears. And I understand on her end.

1:19:341:19:36

I said it last night. I've said it 17 times today.

1:19:361:19:39

-And we've tried to make it happen.

-Well, that's fine.

1:19:391:19:42

I appreciate that. Listen, I don't...

1:19:421:19:44

I'm not diminishing the fact that you worked on it,

1:19:441:19:47

but I'm not changing my opinion on it.

1:19:471:19:48

I'm not going to paint a wall in a space that I'm being judged on

1:19:481:19:52

if I don't know what's being painted.

1:19:521:19:54

But at some point, there's a trust factor.

1:19:541:19:56

It has nothing to do with me trusting you or trusting Aubrey.

1:19:561:19:59

It's that I've never met this person.

1:19:591:20:01

All right, listen, I'm calling her and seeing what she can get to you.

1:20:011:20:04

I'm not throwing this on you...

1:20:041:20:05

Please don't talk to me like a third-grader.

1:20:051:20:07

I'm not trying to talk to you like that, Debbie.

1:20:071:20:09

I'm doing the call. I'm doing the call.

1:20:091:20:12

'Things definitely got heated'

1:20:121:20:13

over the mural situation and I kind of wanted to curl up in a ball

1:20:131:20:16

'in a corner and cry

1:20:161:20:18

'because I felt like he wasn't trusting'

1:20:181:20:20

my professional opinions.

1:20:201:20:22

He's feeling insecure. It's the 11th hour.

1:20:221:20:25

He's being judged on this space.

1:20:251:20:26

He's nervous about what's being painted.

1:20:261:20:28

-He delegated this to us to do.

-I'm not nervous

1:20:281:20:31

cos, at the end of the day, no is all I have to say.

1:20:311:20:34

All right, you know what? I'm having a conversation.

1:20:341:20:36

Don't micromanage my conversation now.

1:20:361:20:38

I can't take that. I really can't.

1:20:381:20:40

'Clay was talking down to me'

1:20:421:20:44

and then he was, on top of that,

1:20:441:20:45

micromanaging the phone call I was making to my cousin.

1:20:451:20:48

'That was the final straw for me.'

1:20:481:20:50

I want to see what she's drawing on the wall.

1:20:501:20:52

That's the only thing that's going to make me convinced

1:20:521:20:54

that she can paint it on the wall.

1:20:541:20:56

'If that's the way the tides are turning at this point,

1:20:561:20:59

'I don't belong here.'

1:20:591:21:00

ON TV: 'Fortunately, we got rid of the hair

1:21:041:21:06

'and the fashion from the '80s.

'Unfortunately, we still have HIV and AIDS.

1:21:081:21:11

'Here's a man who knows a lot more about it than I do. Earv.'

1:21:111:21:15

Let's... Unless you have that Magic Johnson stuff.

1:21:151:21:19

If that stuff's not in...

1:21:191:21:21

Hey. Any update on that yet?

1:21:211:21:23

OK. All right, thank you.

1:21:251:21:27

-So, the file just finished downloading.

-OK.

1:21:281:21:32

'So, we realise that'

1:21:321:21:33

the footage from the West Coast is here. Thank goodness.

1:21:331:21:36

'We're going to look at it.

1:21:361:21:38

'There's an anticipatory delight right now.'

1:21:381:21:40

All right, check this out.

1:21:401:21:42

'Hey, Arsenio. Not a bad pass for a comedian.

1:21:421:21:46

'At the Magic Johnson Foundation, we address the social, health,

1:21:461:21:50

'education and technology needs of minorities across the country.'

1:21:501:21:54

Is that all sideways?

1:21:541:21:57

Cos this is impossible to cut.

1:21:571:21:59

'The Magic footage is in.'

1:21:591:22:01

I'm seeing Magic Johnson deliver information

1:22:011:22:05

about the Magic Johnson Foundation

1:22:051:22:07

'while the camera is focused on his earlobe.'

1:22:071:22:11

They better move that camera.

1:22:111:22:12

'There can only be'

1:22:141:22:15

one reason for it and that's...

1:22:151:22:17

'..that there has been a major miscommunication.'

1:22:181:22:21

Oh, my God.

1:22:211:22:22

When we said, "Camera left," we didn't...

1:22:221:22:24

-We didn't say, "Turn him to the left."

-No.

1:22:241:22:28

'Kids on scholarships...'

1:22:281:22:32

'We get the Magic video in and it's crap.

1:22:321:22:34

'It's shot from a weird angle.'

1:22:341:22:36

I'm feeling concerned that my guys let down Arsenio and

1:22:361:22:42

'we weren't going to be able to go back and get another shot at this.

1:22:421:22:45

'It was way too late in the day.'

1:22:451:22:47

I told them I needed a tight... I don't know why it's to the side.

1:22:471:22:51

'Wide' was 'side' over the cellphone?

1:22:511:22:53

HE IMITATES STATIC Can you hear me now?

1:22:531:22:56

-I smell a huge miscommunication.

-Yeah.

'There's nothing more important to the'

Magic Johnson Foundation charity awareness ad

1:23:031:23:06

than Magic Johnson, as I wrote it.
