Last week, Mr Trump got down to business,

0:01:230:01:26

giving the celebrities their first task.

0:01:260:01:28

You are going to be running a delicatessen.

0:01:280:01:31

The winning team makes the most money in sales and tips.

0:01:310:01:35

On the women's team, everyone wanted their voices to be heard.

0:01:350:01:38

You guys, I have an idea. Guys.

0:01:380:01:40

This was eight people at once doing, like, "Rah-rah-rah-rah-rah!"

0:01:400:01:44

But Patricia Velasquez rose above the chatter

0:01:440:01:46

and stepped up as the women's first project manager.

0:01:460:01:50

On the men's team, project manager Paul Teutul Sr put everything

0:01:500:01:53

on the line, promising to bring in the lion's share of the fundraising.

0:01:530:01:57

-Half a mil.

-What'd you say?

0:01:570:01:59

On the day of the sales, the women's team was a member down.

0:01:590:02:03

Was everybody downstairs?

0:02:030:02:04

Victoria's not there which doesn't surprise me

0:02:040:02:06

cos she doesn't want anyone telling her what to do.

0:02:060:02:09

Both teams attracted a crowd.

0:02:090:02:11

What is going on out here?

0:02:110:02:12

But the women couldn't keep up with demand.

0:02:120:02:15

Oh, my God, look at the crowd.

0:02:150:02:16

And Debbie Gibson blamed Cheryl Tiegs.

0:02:160:02:19

Cheryl, we need to keep moving. Anything. Keep moving.

0:02:190:02:22

In the boardroom, Paul's big donor sealed the men's victory.

0:02:220:02:26

-The men's team raised a total of 367,120.

-Yeah!

0:02:260:02:32

SHE MOUTHS

0:02:320:02:33

Left to face Mr Trump, the women turned on each other.

0:02:330:02:37

I did feel like Cheryl didn't move as quick as everybody else.

0:02:370:02:41

Victoria was an hour late for the task day.

0:02:410:02:44

She was on her phone with personal business.

0:02:440:02:47

I would check in to my children, as any mother would.

0:02:470:02:49

But in the end Mr trump questioned Cheryl's stamina.

0:02:490:02:53

Do you feel you have the energy to go on and just kick ass?

0:02:530:02:57

I don't know if this is right for me, to be honest with you.

0:02:570:03:00

Cheryl, you're fired.

0:03:000:03:02

Who do you guys think's going to go?

0:03:100:03:13

-Hm, I think it's going to be Cheryl.

-Cheryl.

0:03:130:03:15

She just was not as quick as everybody else.

0:03:150:03:18

I think Victoria could also step up her game.

0:03:180:03:21

She knows everyone's onto her a little bit.

0:03:210:03:24

But you know what else, Debbie Gibson? You're very nice

0:03:240:03:27

but this whole thing about,

0:03:270:03:28

"I didn't make personal calls, only to my kids."

0:03:280:03:31

You know what? Don't make 'em to your kids during the day.

0:03:310:03:33

Yeah.

0:03:330:03:35

Here we are.

0:03:360:03:37

Oh, don't worry cos now I know who all y'all are.

0:03:390:03:42

-LAUGHTER

-It's on, baby.

0:03:420:03:45

This girl and I, it's on.

0:03:450:03:47

When Victoria walked back in the room

0:03:470:03:49

I was a little scared at first,

0:03:490:03:51

if I'm going to be totally real with you.

0:03:510:03:52

Cos I said that she did some phone calls, etc,

0:03:520:03:55

and did some other things wrong.

0:03:550:03:56

You all better watch out.

0:03:560:03:58

So, I gotta say a little prayer and hope Victoria won't kill me

0:03:580:04:01

in my sleep.

0:04:010:04:02

That's fine, it's on, don't worry about it, it's on.

0:04:050:04:07

-I just thought it was because...

-It was a gang-up.

-No, no, no.

0:04:070:04:11

-Oh, please.

-I didn't gang up.

-It doesn't bother me.

0:04:110:04:15

Believe me. Moving forward it's dog eat dog, it's take no prisoners.

0:04:150:04:18

Women are different like that cos every last one of yous are bitches.

0:04:180:04:22

-You're behaving like bitches.

-No, not at all.

0:04:220:04:24

-He asked me...

-You're good people but you're behaving like bitches

0:04:240:04:27

when it comes down to it and that's not good.

0:04:270:04:29

We're not banding together. We're not. It's going to be tough.

0:04:290:04:32

The road... Down the road is going to be real tough.

0:04:320:04:35

When you come through something like this you know you have to

0:04:350:04:38

watch your back and it's not about friendship,

0:04:380:04:41

it's got nothing to do with friendship.

0:04:410:04:42

Women will turn on you quicker than a jack rabbit.

0:04:420:04:46

OK, no problem. No, in fact, bring it on. Bring it on, I'm ready.

0:04:460:04:51

# Money, money, money, money

0:04:550:04:59

# Money!

0:04:590:05:00

# Money, money, money, money

0:05:000:05:03

# Money! #

0:05:040:05:05

-BOY:

-Well...he's floating away.

0:05:110:05:14

-Besides, it started trying to flap its wings.

-Oh, he did?

0:05:140:05:17

I'm the mother of an 11-year-old son

0:05:170:05:19

with ALL leukaemia

0:05:190:05:20

and he's getting his wish granted today.

0:05:200:05:23

You see the leaves, how pretty they are?

0:05:230:05:25

-Yeah.

-Gorgeous.

0:05:250:05:27

What are we looking at over here?

0:05:270:05:30

-Is your name Gabriel?

-Yeah.

-My name's Paul.

-Hi, Paul.

0:05:300:05:34

'I'm here to meet Gabriel. He's from California

0:05:340:05:36

'and he wanted to see New York'

0:05:360:05:38

and I am going to be presenting him

0:05:380:05:40

a cheque for the Make-A-Wish foundation.

0:05:400:05:42

So, I have an envelope here.

0:05:420:05:45

I was able to raise money for the Make-A-Wish foundation

0:05:450:05:49

and we have a cheque here

0:05:490:05:51

and I'm very proud of this.

0:05:510:05:53

-It's for 495,000.

-Wow!

0:05:530:05:57

And this money gives the opportunity

0:05:570:05:59

for more kids to make their wish also.

0:05:590:06:02

Thank you.

0:06:020:06:04

That foundation and the kids really touched my heart.

0:06:040:06:06

What do they got here?

0:06:060:06:08

'And it was an honour for me'

0:06:080:06:10

to hand them the cheque for half a million dollars.

0:06:100:06:12

'That's a wish come true.'

0:06:120:06:14

-There he is right here. See him right here?

-Yeah, I see him.

0:06:140:06:17

I would like all the people that get to have a Make-A-Wish

0:06:170:06:20

to have a fun time because they had to go through all this hard stuff

0:06:200:06:25

that I would do.

0:06:250:06:26

They deserve to have a wish, too.

0:06:260:06:28

FANFARE

0:06:450:06:47

-Good morning.

-ALL: Good morning.

0:06:520:06:55

Medieval Times, 40 years, great entertainment - jousting,

0:06:550:06:59

knights, all sorts of incredible things.

0:06:590:07:03

They've entertained so many millions of people over the years.

0:07:030:07:07

Really something exciting.

0:07:070:07:09

You will be creating a show for Medieval Times.

0:07:090:07:14

But first of all, you know the gentleman on my left.

0:07:140:07:17

He is a great, great guy.

0:07:170:07:19

James Lipton.

0:07:190:07:22

I've wanted to be in his show for years, Inside The Actors Studio.

0:07:220:07:26

James, it's great to have you. Do you have anything to say?

0:07:260:07:28

Well, you may be wondering why I qualify as an advisor?

0:07:280:07:32

It's because I happen to be a knight.

0:07:320:07:35

That's what this barrette signifies,

0:07:350:07:37

that I'm a Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres.

0:07:370:07:39

I am a knight of the Republic of France.

0:07:390:07:43

As a matter of fact, this is my suit of armour.

0:07:430:07:46

And my horse is outside.

0:07:460:07:49

So if any of you would care to joust...

0:07:490:07:53

the gauntlet has been thrown.

0:07:530:07:54

I would pay money to see James Lipton stuffed into that

0:07:540:07:58

suit of armour. Top dollar.

0:07:580:08:01

Don, explain exactly what is the task.

0:08:010:08:03

You'll be putting on a 12 to 15-minute show for Medieval Times.

0:08:030:08:07

You'll be judged on your creativity and overall presentation

0:08:070:08:10

and entertainment value by audience votes, so it's in their hands.

0:08:100:08:14

All right, who is your project manager? Please pick.

0:08:140:08:17

-The historical diverse knowledge you have of this era...

-Sure!

0:08:200:08:24

I think you're the...

0:08:240:08:26

Men's Team, who is your project manager?

0:08:300:08:31

-I believe it's me, Mr Trump.

-Penn.

0:08:310:08:34

I believe I was the best choice because I'm the only one who is...

0:08:340:08:38

HE LAUGHS

0:08:380:08:40

..who is from show business of that kind,

0:08:400:08:43

and doing a show is something I've done before.

0:08:430:08:46

OK, ladies, who is your project manager?

0:08:460:08:49

-Lisa.

-Lisa.

0:08:490:08:51

-Lisa!

-Yeah!

0:08:510:08:52

I'm on stage an hour and a half a night all by myself.

0:08:520:08:55

I can do a freaking medieval show with a horse and a sword

0:08:550:08:59

and seven other broads.

0:08:590:09:01

So, you ever hear of Lady Godiva?

0:09:010:09:03

She rode nude through the streets.

0:09:030:09:05

HE LAUGHS

0:09:050:09:07

I'll be honest, Dayana, if you did

0:09:070:09:09

-I don't think the men would even do the chore, right?

-No chance.

0:09:090:09:13

I will threaten to ride nude for money!

0:09:130:09:16

-It'll work.

-That'd be a good story.

-Nice.

0:09:160:09:19

Mr Trump mentioned, "Would you get naked?"

0:09:190:09:22

And Dayana said, "Yes, I would."

0:09:220:09:24

He spoon-fed that to her.

0:09:240:09:25

She gotta do it.

0:09:250:09:27

Now, Adam will not be with us.

0:09:270:09:29

He's agreed to host a wedding at his house in California.

0:09:290:09:33

Every once in a while things like this do happen.

0:09:330:09:36

The winning team is going to be getting 20,000 for your charity

0:09:360:09:41

and we're contributing another, through Medieval Times, 20,000.

0:09:410:09:46

So it's 40,000 to the winning project manager.

0:09:460:09:49

As always, the losing team will join me in the boardroom

0:09:490:09:52

and some celebrity, I'm sorry to say, will be fired.

0:09:520:09:56

Let's see what you can do. Showbiz. Good luck, everybody.

0:09:560:10:00

OK, listen. Guys, can you all hear us?

0:10:050:10:08

Yeah, we're listening.

0:10:080:10:10

I think it's a really good idea to be contemporary,

0:10:100:10:12

instead of taking some old story like King Lear.

0:10:120:10:16

-I agree. You know what I instantly thought...

-OK. OK, you know what?

0:10:160:10:19

..possible to do a rock thing.

0:10:190:10:22

First of all, this is to everybody - I love you all, you're all great

0:10:220:10:25

but there's going to be no interrupting this task.

0:10:250:10:30

Lisa has a short fuse.

0:10:300:10:31

She's tough. I wouldn't want to be on her bad side.

0:10:310:10:34

I had a sentence and a half out and I was already interrupted.

0:10:340:10:37

I'm so sorry. It's very hard without the visual.

0:10:370:10:40

I thought you had completed the thought.

0:10:400:10:42

-Let's just really be conscious of that.

-Great.

0:10:420:10:44

OK, Lisa, I had the idea of trying to be able to entertain that much people

0:10:440:10:48

-and all ages.

-Dayana, hold on.

-Just let Lisa finish.

0:10:480:10:52

How about when somebody's done with their thought you can say,

0:10:520:10:55

"I'm done." That way we know.

0:10:550:10:57

We do have to make sure that we have something creative and original -

0:10:570:11:01

for everyone, 12-year-old kids and adults. But Lisa is not listening.

0:11:010:11:06

OK, here's the deal.

0:11:060:11:07

Let's take something very current and spoof it in a medieval way.

0:11:070:11:11

And what's more current and what's more New Jersey than taking

0:11:110:11:15

The Real Housewives concept, doing Real Housewives Of Camelot?

0:11:150:11:18

I am one of the stars from The Real Housewives Of New Jersey

0:11:180:11:21

and right now one of the hottest shows

0:11:210:11:23

on TV is the New Jersey Housewives

0:11:230:11:26

so she wanted to make that our theme.

0:11:260:11:29

I was honoured because it is about the show that I'm on.

0:11:290:11:32

-What if the knight we're all fighting over is Trump?

-Yes.

0:11:320:11:35

Oh, my God, I will dress as Donald Trump, if you want to.

0:11:350:11:39

Work the hair.

0:11:390:11:40

-We'll kick those frickin' fire-breathing

-BLEEP

-in the nuts.

0:11:400:11:43

-Well said!

-'We'll talk to you in a few minutes, OK?'

-Bye-bye.

-Bye.

0:11:430:11:47

What could be interesting, this Snooki character came forward...

0:11:470:11:51

And we go, "Wrong show, bitch."

0:11:510:11:53

The poor housewives end up killing each other

0:11:530:11:55

and then Snooki's sitting there and she goes,

0:11:550:11:58

"Guess it's just you and me."

0:11:580:12:00

FANFARE

0:12:020:12:04

-You guys got it figured out?

-We got it pretty figured out.

0:12:190:12:21

We got some good jokes.

0:12:210:12:23

The task this week is to do a 15-minute show

0:12:230:12:26

at Medieval Times.

0:12:260:12:28

The team that creates the most original,

0:12:280:12:31

creative and entertaining show, as determined by audience vote, wins.

0:12:310:12:36

-Hello.

-Good morning.

-How are you?

-Good, how are you?

0:12:360:12:39

Leigh Cordner. I'm the creative director for Medieval Times.

0:12:390:12:42

I made available the best fight choreographers, horse trainers,

0:12:420:12:46

sound and light technicians

0:12:460:12:48

and knights that the organisation has to offer.

0:12:480:12:51

They're going to be standing by to assist you with fight choreography,

0:12:510:12:55

working and handling the horses,

0:12:550:12:57

-weapons, along with the rest of the team.

-OK.

0:12:570:13:00

Medieval Times is like being transported back to times

0:13:000:13:04

when there were horses and jousting and kings.

0:13:040:13:06

It's a wonderful production in sand in an arena.

0:13:060:13:10

I've been to Medieval Times more than I've been to LA strip clubs.

0:13:100:13:15

That's a lot!

0:13:150:13:17

The key to the success of the show for the last 28 years is action

0:13:180:13:21

and excitement.

0:13:210:13:23

What we like to do is recreate a moment in history with a nod to,

0:13:230:13:27

let's say, modern technology.

0:13:270:13:29

I have a question.

0:13:290:13:30

They come with their kids, correct?

0:13:320:13:34

Yes. They do. They come with their kids.

0:13:340:13:36

Children are very visual and our show is very visual.

0:13:360:13:40

When the all-ages thing came up I was kind of psyched

0:13:400:13:42

cos I wanted to prove to the world myself - cos I'm a dirty comic -

0:13:420:13:46

I want to do a whole show that doesn't have a curse in it.

0:13:460:13:50

Pleasure meeting you. Good luck.

0:13:500:13:52

Just in my mind I took it as a personal challenge -

0:13:520:13:54

let's make this thing clean but also funny, which is clearly possible.

0:13:540:13:58

Welcome to whatever, Real Housewives Of Camelot.

0:13:580:14:01

We bring out one housewife at a time.

0:14:010:14:04

Our concept is The Unreal Housewives Of Camelot.

0:14:040:14:08

All of us are playing housewives and we're vying for the affection

0:14:080:14:11

and attention of "the greatest man in all the land" Mr Trump.

0:14:110:14:15

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

0:14:150:14:18

She gives everyone the set-up of our show which is

0:14:180:14:21

The Real Housewives Of Camelot.

0:14:210:14:22

We set it up - boardroom, Donald Trump-style -

0:14:220:14:25

but with the setting of the Housewives.

0:14:250:14:27

-So then the girls...

-I'm sorry, it's so hard, we're frustrated.

0:14:270:14:31

We're going to do something like that involving the housewives

0:14:310:14:34

and fighting for love...

0:14:340:14:36

The Housewives is the biggest show on TV.

0:14:390:14:42

It has almost five million viewers.

0:14:420:14:45

-Let me finish.

-Let's hear this, guys.

0:14:450:14:48

Concept. No side conversations. Let her get it out.

0:14:480:14:51

-I might answer your question, just...

-OK.

0:14:510:14:53

OK, so over there in this corner, here is Teresa, du-du-du-du-du,

0:14:530:14:56

however you want to remix the names, whatever.

0:14:560:14:58

'Aubrey was definitely second in command on this task.'

0:14:580:15:02

Lisa seemed to defer to her almost a little too much.

0:15:020:15:06

So if this is the audience we're playing to, you'd have the table,

0:15:060:15:10

we like the table cos Teresa can flip it, she's famous for that.

0:15:100:15:12

Dayana, because he had suggested the nude thing,

0:15:120:15:15

if we put you in a nude body suit, you're going to be the girl

0:15:150:15:18

on the horse that's always the presentation of the new scene.

0:15:180:15:21

Are you OK wearing a nude body suit with flowers here and here?

0:15:210:15:24

-Don't worry.

-Awesome!

0:15:240:15:26

I'll do whatever my project manager assigns me to do

0:15:260:15:29

and if my project manager decides that wearing a nude body suit

0:15:290:15:32

is a good idea...

0:15:320:15:34

..I'll do it.

0:15:360:15:38

Tia's a really good actress and so is Patricia.

0:15:380:15:40

I should be the whore, she should be the queen.

0:15:400:15:43

I think Tia seems more of a whore.

0:15:430:15:45

LAUGHTER

0:15:450:15:47

I handed out the sexy roles, the glamorous roles, first.

0:15:470:15:51

Victoria would be reserved for the hardest job cos you need

0:15:510:15:55

a real tough-ass to run lights and sound.

0:15:550:15:59

What is Victoria going to do?

0:15:590:16:02

Victoria, she could be a stage director cos she's really tough

0:16:020:16:06

-and she'll say to that guy...

-Victoria should be queen!

0:16:060:16:09

She should be queen.

0:16:090:16:10

Why don't you just put me in the closet? Put me in the closet.

0:16:100:16:13

'Lisa turned to me and said,'

0:16:130:16:15

"I'm giving you one of the most important tasks

0:16:150:16:18

"as creative director."

0:16:180:16:19

-And I remember thinking to myself, bull

-BLEEP.

0:16:190:16:22

-Bull

-BLEEP.

0:16:220:16:24

I think everybody had a role except for me. I was left out of it.

0:16:240:16:27

This is the way it'll go, in very broad strokes.

0:16:300:16:33

It will go, you coming out alone...

0:16:330:16:37

-On a horse.

-With maybe some other horses around you.

0:16:370:16:40

Then battle between you two.

0:16:400:16:42

'The creative is essentially melodrama.'

0:16:420:16:45

Two men are fighting for the hand of the same woman.

0:16:450:16:48

Maiden enters.

0:16:480:16:50

Veil over the face. Hair down and all out.

0:16:500:16:53

My eyes look pretty good when they're all made up.

0:16:530:16:56

We got Dee Snider in drag and when the boy sees her up close

0:16:560:17:00

he decides instead to kill himself -

0:17:000:17:02

big and loud and fun.

0:17:020:17:03

I have... Listen to me.

0:17:030:17:05

I have a bike that has a saddle on it that's all white mesh.

0:17:050:17:09

-It's fitting to the tee.

-Perfect.

-It's fitting to the tee.

0:17:090:17:14

Perfect use of a motorcycle - it's very Medieval Times!

0:17:140:17:16

What I'm trying to do is underline where celebrities are.

0:17:160:17:19

I want every Clay Aiken fan to be thrilled about seeing Clay,

0:17:190:17:23

so we're having him sing.

0:17:230:17:25

I want every Star Trek fan to love seeing George.

0:17:250:17:28

I want every Arsenio fan to love seeing Arsenio.

0:17:280:17:33

-I'm just going to do this.

-OK.

0:17:330:17:35

I'm even uncomfortable with this position.

0:17:350:17:37

Arsenio and I will host.

0:17:370:17:39

Arsenio has a kind, generous nature.

0:17:390:17:43

He's very easy to work with.

0:17:430:17:45

It's very easy to look good when you're talking to Arsenio.

0:17:450:17:48

Can we put it on hold and possibly think of something else?

0:17:480:17:51

LAUGHTER

0:17:510:17:52

Hey, how you doing?

0:17:540:17:55

I'm very well. And yourself?

0:17:550:17:57

-Oops.

-Nice to meet you. I'm Erin.

0:17:570:17:59

OK, so what do we get to work with?

0:17:590:18:01

You basically have access to this rack here.

0:18:010:18:03

Once we decided on the idea

0:18:030:18:05

we got to go into the costume room

0:18:050:18:07

and there's no girl on Earth that doesn't like to play dress-up.

0:18:070:18:09

-That one's good for Teresa.

-Oh, that's great.

-This is perfect.

0:18:090:18:12

Patricia and Tia,

0:18:120:18:14

do either one of you feel strongly about which one plays the queen?

0:18:140:18:17

-I don't care.

-Then you should have more royal...

0:18:170:18:21

OVERLAPPING CHATTER

0:18:210:18:25

-Patricia...

-She needs a cape.

0:18:250:18:27

I need to eat lunch is what I need to do before I pass out.

0:18:270:18:30

I was like, "Are you kidding me? Did we not talk about this?"

0:18:300:18:34

Patricia... OVERLAPPING CHATTER

0:18:340:18:36

You want something that dangles off the horse

0:18:360:18:38

-cos it looks really pretty.

-We're going to put this together.

0:18:380:18:41

I'm not here to teach you how to not be an interrupting pain in my ass.

0:18:410:18:46

-God, you

-BLEEP

-guys, seriously.

0:18:460:18:48

It's like I say a sentence

0:18:490:18:51

and you THEN break into other conversations.

0:18:510:18:55

Don't do it!

0:18:570:18:58

You're asking me if you want me to...

0:18:580:19:00

No, it's not just you! Come on!

0:19:000:19:02

How old are we?!

0:19:020:19:04

'Lisa lost it.'

0:19:050:19:07

It became like a school class - "You stop, you shut up.

0:19:070:19:09

"This is how I manage." I'm sorry, that's not the way to treat people.

0:19:090:19:12

She was running the show like a tyrant will do.

0:19:120:19:15

So can we do this?

0:19:150:19:16

FANFARE

0:19:220:19:26

Remember, Clay, it was just last year in 1042...

0:19:260:19:31

He should have won but he did not win.

0:19:310:19:33

You may remember Ruben Sandwich of Studdard.

0:19:330:19:36

LAUGHTER

0:19:360:19:39

Hello, how are you, sir?

0:19:390:19:42

-Gentlemen.

-'Out of the corner of my eye I say James Lipton.'

0:19:420:19:45

James was great because I love James because I watch him on TV

0:19:450:19:47

all the time. He's like an icon.

0:19:470:19:49

I want to know why I was never invited to The Actors Studio.

0:19:490:19:52

LAUGHTER

0:19:520:19:53

An oversight!

0:19:530:19:56

It was Medieval Times and

0:19:560:19:57

James definitely gives off that sort of Shakespearian vibe.

0:19:570:20:02

-MIMICKING GEORGE:

-Oh, I'm going into my George Takei.

0:20:020:20:04

-How's it going?

-Really well. We're going to have a joust in the middle.

0:20:040:20:08

Those two are battling each other.

0:20:080:20:09

-He will win the hand of the fair maiden.

-Really?

0:20:090:20:12

And we've got a little cross-dressing going on, too,

0:20:120:20:15

so it's going to be exciting.

0:20:150:20:17

They are using a lot of comedy.

0:20:170:20:20

The risk is of being not funny when you want to be funny.

0:20:200:20:24

'We'll see how they do.'

0:20:240:20:25

So then we can just cross it and, like, grr!

0:20:270:20:30

-Go round to the right. And go round to the left.

-OK.

0:20:300:20:33

We have Teresa, the table-flipping housewife.

0:20:330:20:36

Keeping in mind that it is the audience that votes

0:20:360:20:39

who is the winner.

0:20:390:20:40

We are giving the people what they want. We're in New Jersey

0:20:400:20:43

and what's bigger than The Real Housewives Of New Jersey?

0:20:430:20:45

It's just going to bring the house down. We're playing to the crowd.

0:20:450:20:48

-I'm pressing charges.

-I'm pressing charges!

0:20:480:20:52

Cos that's what she did, she pressed charges.

0:20:520:20:54

Yeah. I'll see you in court.

0:20:540:20:56

I'll see you in court!

0:20:560:20:59

I'll see you in court!

0:20:590:21:00

I'm actually performing with real actresses

0:21:000:21:03

so I really learned a lot and it was an amazing experience.

0:21:030:21:06

What should I say when you're saying that?

0:21:060:21:08

Bring it on, wench!

0:21:080:21:10

Oh, yeah. That's what I'll say.

0:21:100:21:12

Bring it on, wench!

0:21:120:21:14

I had to actually learn lines and it's not something I'm used to.

0:21:140:21:18

Like, on my show it's a reality TV show, you know,

0:21:180:21:21

I don't need to learn lines.

0:21:210:21:23

One of us pulls out, like, a chicken cutlet or something.

0:21:230:21:26

"I knew those weren't real!"

0:21:260:21:27

Or you could dig in and go, "Oh, those are real."

0:21:280:21:32

They're real, right?

0:21:320:21:34

Yeah, they're real. They're real.

0:21:340:21:36

She pulled something off of me, I pull something off her.

0:21:360:21:39

They're implants...

0:21:390:21:41

-"Spotlight on Trump figure," right?

-Yeah.

0:21:410:21:45

We're trying to write the beats of the script down and write dialogue

0:21:450:21:48

-and Don Jr shows up.

-Hello, ladies.

0:21:480:21:50

Maybe he can answer our question.

0:21:500:21:53

-Oh, yeah.

-Is your father going to get offended

0:21:530:21:56

by me impersonating him in a wig?

0:21:560:22:00

No.

0:22:000:22:01

I think the boardroom may get tense but ultimately who wins is

0:22:010:22:05

still determined by the people in the audience.

0:22:050:22:07

-OK.

-You win them, even if it is too far, you can't get fired for it.

0:22:070:22:10

-That's true.

-Do you want to hear what we're doing?

-Let's hear it.

0:22:100:22:13

We're having the housewives compete for Donald's love

0:22:130:22:16

and it's going to be a fight to the end of who wins Donald.

0:22:160:22:18

We have tons of comedy. We're including the elements of Jersey.

0:22:180:22:22

we're playing to a more pop-culture, modern idea

0:22:220:22:25

-but still including the medieval time.

-OK.

0:22:250:22:27

'I think the women's concept's actually great. I think to utilise'

0:22:270:22:30

one of the Real Housewives here at Medieval Times in New Jersey

0:22:300:22:32

is sort of a no-brainer. But I think people also show up

0:22:320:22:35

to Medieval Times for some action. If they can combine the right mix

0:22:350:22:38

of the two of those things, they got a pretty good formula going.

0:22:380:22:41

-So, where's Victoria?

-At the store, shopping with Dayana. We figure

0:22:410:22:45

they both look like they like to spend money. Get them outta here.

0:22:450:22:48

There's a little tension, perhaps, with Victoria?

0:22:480:22:50

-I assigned actors and performers to play the women in the show.

-Yeah.

0:22:500:22:55

Well, PS, the most important job is stage manager,

0:22:550:22:57

and she doesn't get how important that is.

0:22:570:22:59

There was definitely some tension from Lisa with her and Victoria.

0:22:590:23:02

It's always going to be tough to get along with Victoria.

0:23:020:23:05

That's a very strong personality. Lisa got a strong personality.

0:23:050:23:07

It's going to be an interesting clash eventually.

0:23:070:23:10

I have no freakin' patience, so I just go,

0:23:100:23:12

"Shopping, for these broads, is much better."

0:23:120:23:14

We've got three different size swords, and they're real.

0:23:160:23:20

Before we could actually get down to business, we met with

0:23:200:23:22

stunt coordinators that teach you sword fighting for the performance.

0:23:220:23:25

Yah!

0:23:250:23:27

-Yah!

-Be careful.

0:23:270:23:29

Pay attention.

0:23:290:23:31

With Lou Ferrigno, what you see is what you get.

0:23:310:23:34

He's the Hulk, former Mr Universe.

0:23:340:23:36

In this task, Lou immediately saw that this is Medieval Times.

0:23:360:23:42

There were gladiators. There were fighters. There were knights.

0:23:420:23:45

They were powerful men. And he exemplifies the powerful man.

0:23:450:23:49

-En garde.

-Yah!

0:23:490:23:51

Swing level.

0:23:510:23:53

-He scares me, this

-BLEEP

-guy.

0:23:530:23:55

I'm going to go after him because, you know, this is a fight.

0:23:550:23:58

And we're two macho men.

0:23:580:24:00

-Yah!

-OK,

-BLEEP!

0:24:000:24:01

And I want to give a good performance. Like David and Goliath.

0:24:010:24:05

-Do it slow.

-That's not slow. What the

-BLEEP?

0:24:050:24:08

LAUGHTER

0:24:080:24:10

Wait a minute.

0:24:140:24:16

No, listen to me. I go one, two, three, four. I'm charging.

0:24:160:24:20

And then you can back up three steps.

0:24:200:24:23

There's more involved in this production than just the fight.

0:24:230:24:26

We needed to do other things and Lou wanted to continue practising.

0:24:260:24:30

I think Lou would have practised that damn fight for all day.

0:24:300:24:32

Now step back.

0:24:320:24:34

They get another one in a minute.

0:24:360:24:38

We gotta go now.

0:24:400:24:42

Sometimes it's difficult to pull Lou out of the narrow scope

0:24:420:24:46

that he's looking at and to have him look at the fact

0:24:460:24:49

that everybody else has something that's important going on.

0:24:490:24:52

SWORD CLANGS

0:24:520:24:53

-En garde.

-Strike. Up and over to the right.

0:24:540:24:58

Strike.

0:24:580:24:59

Strike to the head. Good.

0:24:590:25:00

Whoa.

0:25:000:25:02

Lisa, Victoria's our director, so maybe she could help you direct us

0:25:020:25:05

and everything with who should be doing what. We'd like to have

0:25:050:25:08

-Victoria come forward.

-Really, my strong point is not directing.

0:25:080:25:12

-OK, so, why don't...

-I just feel like I won't do you a good service.

0:25:120:25:16

No, we should take direction from you,

0:25:160:25:18

-and you could just... You want to try it?

-What you want to do is...

0:25:180:25:20

Listen, if Victoria doesn't think it's her strong point, fine.

0:25:200:25:23

Learn how to fight. You too, Tia, then we'll figure that out later.

0:25:230:25:26

But let's not waste these guys' time, OK?

0:25:260:25:28

For me, you know, I welcome learning new things throughout this process,

0:25:280:25:32

so I would have thought maybe Victoria would have been intrigued

0:25:320:25:35

by having to kind of learn, on the spot, the stage-direction role,

0:25:350:25:41

but she didn't really take to it.

0:25:410:25:43

Strike to your opponent's head.

0:25:430:25:45

-Good.

-Victoria has her Louis Vuitton bag while she's fighting.

0:25:450:25:48

-Are you

-BLEEP

-kidding me?

0:25:480:25:50

Victoria had her Louis Vuitton purse slung around her shoulder.

0:25:530:25:57

Now, I appreciate a messenger bag.

0:25:570:25:59

I wear a messenger bag all the time to cover up my left love handle.

0:25:590:26:03

But if there's any clear indication that you're not in the game,

0:26:030:26:06

it's carrying your purse while you're carrying a sword.

0:26:060:26:09

So I'm like, well, maybe she can help me

0:26:090:26:11

look up stuff or write things or something.

0:26:110:26:14

Do you want to start writing and I'll look up the Shakespearean...

0:26:140:26:19

-Lingo.

-..slang.

-Yeah, if Word will come up.

0:26:190:26:21

No, it's not "mid-evil." You've gotta spell it right.

0:26:240:26:27

'I look over and she's typing into one of the computers'

0:26:270:26:30

"mid" M-I-D,

0:26:300:26:33

dash "evil." E-V-I-L.

0:26:330:26:36

It's "medieval."

0:26:360:26:39

Spell it like it on the paper.

0:26:390:26:40

Basically, Victoria's wasting my time.

0:26:420:26:44

She can't even handle a simple task like using a computer.

0:26:440:26:47

The freaking stationery of Medieval Times is sitting right there

0:26:470:26:50

and you can't frickin' copy it. Bitch?

0:26:500:26:53

"This season on The Unreal Housewives Of Camelot,

0:27:020:27:05

"four ladies shall compete for the love of one man,

0:27:050:27:08

"yea, the most powerful man in all the kingdom - Sir Donald of Trump."

0:27:080:27:13

'I pretty much did not sleep last night.'

0:27:130:27:16

I wanted to be a part of this play. I wanted what everybody else got.

0:27:160:27:20

You have eight women, and you have one person that's given

0:27:200:27:24

absolutely nothing - no speaking parts, no roles,

0:27:240:27:27

no tasks, no nothing.

0:27:270:27:29

And I called Lisa this morning and said,

0:27:290:27:32

"You know what? Maybe I should go speak to Mr Trump

0:27:320:27:36

"and ask to play on the men's team. Maybe then I will be acknowledged,

0:27:360:27:41

"won't be invisible, and won't be put in the closet."

0:27:410:27:45

Um, Victoria, you're, like, the most important person today, because if

0:27:450:27:49

we F up our sound and lights...

0:27:490:27:50

Believe me, the guys aren't going to, with Penn in charge.

0:27:500:27:53

-So you're the man today.

-OK.

0:27:530:27:55

'Victoria said she was going to walk out and join the men's team'

0:27:550:27:58

cos she was hurt.

0:27:580:27:59

That's still a girl thing, and we're not allowed to be girls in here.

0:27:590:28:02

But I said, "You know what? I got to make this Victoria

0:28:020:28:05

"be gangster in that booth up there with that lighting guy

0:28:050:28:07

"and make it work." Yesterday might have not been a heavy day for you,

0:28:070:28:10

-but today's going to be really heavy.

-OK.

0:28:100:28:13

-What's up, brother?

-Good to see you, brother.

0:28:160:28:18

-This guy's the Hulk.

-How you been?

-How you doing, man?

-I'm Dee.

0:28:180:28:22

'When we arrived at Medieval Times,'

0:28:220:28:24

we went out to check out Paul Sr's really killer chopper.

0:28:240:28:28

Oh, man.

0:28:280:28:30

-Yeah!

-Good lord.

0:28:300:28:33

You only see the back tyre, which is a 300. It's like this big,

0:28:330:28:36

but already you're just like, "Man, this is a cool motorcycle."

0:28:360:28:39

ENGINE STARTS

0:28:390:28:42

The bike had a medieval theme with swords,

0:28:420:28:45

it had axes on it, had chainmail exhaust pipes.

0:28:450:28:49

Even the paint job was done like scales on a dragon.

0:28:490:28:52

It was so perfectly designed for Medieval Times.

0:28:520:28:56

The audience is going to get into this.

0:28:560:28:59

Have a nice day.

0:28:590:29:00

If we're at 8 to 13

0:29:030:29:05

I'll do two with Arsenio.

0:29:050:29:08

If we're lower than eight I'll do... Oh, my goodness.

0:29:080:29:11

Gentlemen.

0:29:110:29:12

Wow.

0:29:120:29:14

-You look perfect.

-I am staying in character.

0:29:140:29:17

Good, please.

0:29:170:29:19

-You're going to stay in it all day?

-I want to get used to it. The train.

0:29:190:29:22

George loved that costume.

0:29:220:29:25

He wore that costume like a five-year-old

0:29:250:29:27

with a Halloween costume they didn't ever want to take off.

0:29:270:29:30

Oh, we've got two hours.

0:29:300:29:33

The whole idea of a dress rehearsal

0:29:330:29:36

is to be able to handle your costume.

0:29:360:29:39

And so I think we should all be in our costume, and particularly Dee.

0:29:390:29:44

He's riding side-saddle. I hope that that doesn't throw him.

0:29:440:29:49

Should we call you Sir George the rest of the day?

0:29:490:29:52

You may call me that all the time.

0:29:520:29:54

LAUGHTER

0:29:540:29:56

Letteth the games begin!

0:29:580:30:00

Cue smoke.

0:30:020:30:04

Cue light on upper throne.

0:30:040:30:06

Up there.

0:30:060:30:07

We get into the dress rehearsal.

0:30:070:30:09

Victoria took over for a couple run-throughs, and I'm, like,

0:30:090:30:12

pretty confident.

0:30:120:30:14

I mean, I'm never confident in anybody.

0:30:150:30:18

I always think people are going to fall through.

0:30:180:30:20

-Lisa?

-Yes.

-One question.

0:30:200:30:22

When you move down from that throne up above and you're coming down...

0:30:220:30:25

It's on page...

0:30:250:30:27

-I have it. I think I have it, as you say...

-Page three.

0:30:270:30:31

-"Mr Trump..."

-Do you see it?

0:30:310:30:33

Is it where Mr Trump walks to the throne, stands on...

0:30:330:30:35

That's out, obviously. Um...

0:30:350:30:38

Do you guys have a current script?

0:30:400:30:42

That's what we're trying to figure out here.

0:30:420:30:44

The page should start, "This damsel has a song in her heart."

0:30:440:30:47

No, we don't have a current script. This is the one...

0:30:470:30:49

We don't have the current script. Where did that one come from?

0:30:490:30:52

Oh, my God. How do you print out the wrong one from the printer?

0:30:530:30:56

I don't get it. 'I don't like mistakes.'

0:30:560:30:59

God forbid those lights don't come on when they're supposed to

0:30:590:31:01

or the trumpets don't sound.

0:31:010:31:03

And I'm thinking I really should be the stage director, but I can't.

0:31:030:31:07

How much time do we got right now in the arena?

0:31:110:31:14

-We have, I believe, 50 minutes.

-OK. We should go right now.

0:31:140:31:20

-Well, the guy has to programme the stuff in.

-Let me say something.

0:31:200:31:22

I was talking right now, and I wanted to say we should go right now

0:31:220:31:25

and just run with it, guys. Lines, lights, and music without us here.

0:31:250:31:29

OK, what I was saying is we can't do that because they have to programme

0:31:290:31:32

everything right now.

0:31:320:31:33

-They asked us for ten minutes.

-Then we won't have time to do that.

0:31:330:31:37

'I consider myself a creative person, and Aubrey and Lisa,'

0:31:370:31:41

they are not giving me a chance to either

0:31:410:31:43

have an opinion, be listened, or do anything else.

0:31:430:31:47

And I keep trying to get involved, but they keep pushing me back.

0:31:470:31:51

So I'm just going to do my thing on my horse and look pretty,

0:31:510:31:55

cos that's all they want me to do, and that'll be it.

0:31:550:31:58

-If

-BLEEP

-Dayana doesn't stop complaining about every

-BLEEP

0:31:580:32:01

-thing... I can't

-BLEEP

-take her.

0:32:010:32:03

Guess what you're good at.

0:32:030:32:05

Sitting and looking good. That's it.

0:32:050:32:07

Oh! Oh! Oh!

0:32:110:32:15

-Is that great!

-God!

0:32:150:32:16

-You're aggressive, you're really aggressive.

-Darth Vader.

0:32:160:32:20

I don't like that joke.

0:32:210:32:23

Going into the dress rehearsal, I feel very confident.

0:32:230:32:26

I think the audience is going to like how we look.

0:32:260:32:28

I just can't wait, because I love performing.

0:32:280:32:31

Yeah, check one, two. One, two check.

0:32:310:32:34

-Is this

-BLEEP

-thing on?

0:32:340:32:35

Dee is used to wearing female clothes, professionally,

0:32:350:32:39

as Twisted Sister.

0:32:390:32:40

But as Lady Dee Dee,

0:32:400:32:43

he actually looked lovely.

0:32:430:32:46

Completely ready, Dee?

0:32:460:32:47

-Completely ready, Penn.

-OK, let's go, Michael!

0:32:470:32:50

-Lock and load, rock and roll!

-Ready. Go!

0:32:500:32:53

You guys will be up next. The horse comes flying first, though.

0:32:590:33:02

Please welcome the greenest knight of land,

0:33:020:33:06

the good and...

0:33:060:33:08

..incredible...

0:33:100:33:12

Sir Lou of Hulk.

0:33:120:33:14

-George...

-Enough of this...

-Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Wait, wait.

0:33:140:33:19

You understand that that line, "enough of these..."

0:33:190:33:21

I did it there, which I shouldn't. I should have done that here.

0:33:210:33:24

The problem with George not getting his script exactly right

0:33:240:33:27

is that I had written into the script very specific cues

0:33:270:33:30

for the lighting and sound department,

0:33:300:33:32

and they were very reliant on George hitting specific lines.

0:33:320:33:36

And now it is time for the final frontier.

0:33:360:33:40

-Not yet it isn't! It sure isn't.

-It is not?

-No, it's not.

0:33:400:33:43

-Oh, that's right.

-I have a little something I want to do first.

0:33:430:33:46

I jump on your act.

0:33:460:33:48

Yeah. George is not... Yeah.

0:33:480:33:51

-George, you're going to have to follow the script.

-I will.

0:33:510:33:55

Even if you have to hold it up, because the lighting...

0:33:550:33:58

It just happened there.

0:33:580:33:59

No, no, no, no. It's happened like four times.

0:33:590:34:02

'I think it was difficult for George to grasp'

0:34:020:34:04

we don't need you to get it perfect right now.

0:34:040:34:08

We need you to hit the marks so everybody else can do something.

0:34:080:34:11

-Are we going again?

-We sure are.

-Good.

0:34:110:34:14

-Everybody ready right away.

-All right, we get the leg over.

0:34:140:34:17

-Fix the cape on the other side, guys.

-As soon as George starts

0:34:170:34:20

-talking again, go for it.

-And now...

-Go, go.

0:34:200:34:22

-At last, at last. And now I'm...

-I broke a finger. Aah.

0:34:280:34:33

-You all right?

-You OK?

-I may have broken a finger.

0:34:340:34:38

# She's broke a nail Oh, how that sucks. #

0:34:380:34:41

No - finger. Finger! Finger!

0:34:410:34:43

-# She broke a finger Damn, that's worse. #

-Yep.

0:34:430:34:47

The horse was acting very skittish

0:34:470:34:50

and I lost my balance.

0:34:500:34:52

My finger, as I went down, caught underneath the saddle.

0:34:520:34:57

Is there a first aid? Find him.

0:34:570:35:00

Are we going to get a doctor or something?

0:35:000:35:02

Oh, red shirt right there.

0:35:020:35:04

No, not that one. Ring.

0:35:040:35:06

As I look at my hand, I know my finger's messed up.

0:35:060:35:10

And the EMT's telling me that I need to go to a hospital.

0:35:100:35:13

I don't know what we're going to do cos if I've got to leave,

0:35:130:35:16

we're screwed. It's showtime.

0:35:160:35:17

-Oh,

-BLEEP

-yeah.

0:35:170:35:20

-You all right, man?

-Not really.

0:35:200:35:23

-How's your finger?

-Feels... It's numb.

0:35:430:35:46

So I'll go and get it X-rayed.

0:35:460:35:48

'I've never had a broken finger. It was pretty excruciating,'

0:35:480:35:52

but I am not leaving the show.

0:35:520:35:54

I'll worry about it later. I'll go to the hospital later.

0:35:540:35:57

I'm ready to get back in the game, in my dress and tiara.

0:35:570:36:00

I think you look better as a woman than a man.

0:36:000:36:03

If you were on the women's team, you're at least tying a few of them.

0:36:030:36:06

LAUGHTER

0:36:060:36:09

Are we ready? All right. Let's do it.

0:36:180:36:20

My lords, my ladies, welcome to Medieval Times!

0:36:270:36:33

CHEERING

0:36:330:36:35

How you doing? My name is Penn Jillette

0:36:380:36:41

and this is my partner, Arsenio. We are Penn and Arsenio.

0:36:410:36:44

And are you ready to have some fun at Medieval Times, huh?!

0:36:440:36:48

CHEERING

0:36:480:36:50

My partner is used to a silent partner.

0:36:500:36:55

-But he's going to let me ask you this one question.

-Tell it! Tell it!

0:36:550:36:58

Art my hounds in the castle here tonight?

0:36:580:37:04

THEY WHOOP

0:37:040:37:05

'This is a cheesy melodrama. 'We stuck with broad comedy.'

0:37:050:37:10

I have children, you know, and a minute and a half is all they want

0:37:100:37:13

to watch of something.

0:37:130:37:14

Light something on fire. Bring out a motorcycle. Now there's horses.

0:37:140:37:19

Big and gross and loud and fast and fun.

0:37:190:37:22

What kind of chapstick do you use?

0:37:220:37:24

I use weapons-grade chap stick.

0:37:240:37:27

LAUGHTER

0:37:270:37:29

-George, take it away!

-The good and incredible...

0:37:290:37:34

Sir Lou of Hulk!

0:37:340:37:38

CHEERING

0:37:380:37:40

Even though we struggled throughout the dress rehearsals,

0:37:430:37:46

when we got down to brass tacks,

0:37:460:37:47

George picked up his script and he read from it.

0:37:470:37:49

He said, "I'm going to do it this way so that we don't have

0:37:490:37:52

-"any mess-ups."

-His adversary...

0:37:520:37:54

Sir Paul, the Orange County Senior.

0:37:540:37:59

ENGINE ROARS What's that sound?

0:37:590:38:02

What's that sound? That's not a horse!

0:38:020:38:04

That's not a horse!

0:38:090:38:11

Patiently waiting for the battle for her beauteous hand...

0:38:150:38:19

Lady Dee Dee

0:38:190:38:21

of Twisted Godiva.

0:38:210:38:25

Accompanied by her trusty troubadour,

0:38:250:38:29

Clay of Aiken!

0:38:290:38:33

# He-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-y

0:38:330:38:35

# Y-y-y-y-y-yeah, yeah

0:38:350:38:37

# Ye-a-a-a-a-ah! #

0:38:370:38:43

Our show is not supposed to have any real plot.

0:38:430:38:47

We're mostly putting together the fact that it's a celebrity team.

0:38:470:38:50

Whether that is the right choice, I don't know, but I hope that

0:38:500:38:54

if they like us, they'll like us.

0:38:540:38:56

Looks like he's winning! Looks like Lou's winning!

0:38:560:38:58

These are incredible athletes! Look at those guys!

0:38:580:39:01

His sword is down!

0:39:060:39:07

Oh! He threw sand in his eyes! Ah!

0:39:090:39:12

He's cut! He's cut! My guy's cut!

0:39:120:39:16

Sir Lou of Hulk,

0:39:190:39:21

you have won the hand

0:39:210:39:23

of the fairest maiden in all the land.

0:39:230:39:27

'But the old saying, a man has to do what a man has to do.'

0:39:310:39:34

You may now kiss your prize.

0:39:340:39:38

What's happening?!

0:39:430:39:45

-Oh!

-Lou has killed himself!

0:39:450:39:47

-He's down! He killed himself!

-Oh, my!

0:39:470:39:51

That's Dee Snider from Twisted Sister!

0:39:560:39:58

That's Clay Aiken of American Idol!

0:39:580:40:01

'We took a risk in doing the comedic thing,'

0:40:010:40:04

but I believe and I'm hoping,

0:40:040:40:06

by audience reaction, that it paid off.

0:40:060:40:08

But if we were to lose, I think that that could end up being a problem

0:40:080:40:12

for Penn, because this was very much a Penn Jillette project.

0:40:120:40:16

My name is Penn Jillette! That's Michael Andretti!

0:40:170:40:20

Enjoy the rest of the show! Thank you so much!

0:40:200:40:23

CHEERING

0:40:230:40:26

-OK, everybody get as ready as you can. Get on your horses.

-Here we go.

0:40:300:40:34

We were backstage. It was almost showtime.

0:40:340:40:36

And at that point, we were as ready as we were ever going to be.

0:40:360:40:39

All right, guys, you ready? You have your script, right?

0:40:410:40:44

CHEERING

0:40:460:40:48

Lights up.

0:40:570:40:58

While Dayana is led out on a horse, I had to narrate.

0:41:040:41:08

Supposed to wait for the trumpet.

0:41:080:41:11

Big trumpet.

0:41:110:41:12

And I'm waiting for the trumpet.

0:41:120:41:15

And for some reason, like, something's not happening, really.

0:41:190:41:22

So I had to create the trumpet sound in my own head cos it wasn't

0:41:220:41:26

coming from that freakin' sound booth.

0:41:260:41:28

SHE IMITATES FANFARE

0:41:280:41:30

Friends and countrymen,

0:41:300:41:32

I am Sir Donald of Trump, your king!

0:41:320:41:37

CHEERING

0:41:370:41:38

I am here with the most fearsome,

0:41:380:41:42

awe-inspiring creatures on the planet...

The Unreal Housewives Of Camelot!

0:41:460:41:51

Tonight, one of them shall win

0:41:510:41:54

the most coveted prize on the planet -

0:41:540:41:58

the gift of my love.

0:41:580:42:02

'During the performance itself, I caught a look at Don Jr'

0:42:020:42:06

out of my eye, and he was laughing and having a good time.

0:42:060:42:08

I said, "OK, everything's fine."

0:42:080:42:11

Archduchess Autotune,

0:42:110:42:13

what do you have that could win this competition for my heart?

0:42:130:42:17

# What I do bring is that I sing

0:42:170:42:21

# My voice so fair, it fills the air

0:42:210:42:24

# You have great h-a-a-a-a-air... #

0:42:240:42:28

Silence!

0:42:280:42:30

I can take no more.

0:42:300:42:32

CHEERING

0:42:320:42:36

En garde!

0:42:360:42:38

One thing our team really had going for it is the fact that there are

0:42:420:42:44

a bunch of beautiful women on the team.

0:42:440:42:47

THEY GRUNT

0:42:470:42:48

But I apparently used a little more sex appeal than I intended.

0:42:500:42:54

I may have showed the audience a little more than I wanted to.

0:42:540:42:58

Aah!

0:42:590:43:00

CHEERING

0:43:020:43:04

The show is super corny.

0:43:060:43:07

But Medieval Times audiences love a lot of excitement. They love action.

0:43:070:43:13

They're not going to sit bored when women grab swords and are duelling

0:43:130:43:16

and doing splits and backflips and stuff like that. There's no way.

0:43:160:43:20

Don't call me "honey", honey!

0:43:200:43:23

Is "wench" better? Here we go!

0:43:230:43:26

You sting me!

0:43:310:43:32

I have won the battle. Have I won your heart?

0:43:390:43:42

You have kicked some serious booty. However, you are disqualified.

0:43:420:43:48

-What?!

-You're fired!

0:43:480:43:51

-I can't be fired!

-You're fired!

0:43:510:43:54

SHE YELLS

0:43:540:43:57

I ended up flipping the table and they loved

0:43:570:44:00

that moment on the Real Housewives Of New Jersey.

0:44:000:44:02

And when I did it I was really, you know, upset and angry,

0:44:020:44:06

and there was, like, a lot of emotions.

0:44:060:44:08

So, you know, I felt like a real actress.

0:44:080:44:11

Alas, I am alone again.

0:44:110:44:15

Wah!

0:44:150:44:17

Oh, no! Jersey!

0:44:190:44:22

All right.

0:44:220:44:23

The character played by Aubrey comes out. It was sort of a spoof

0:44:230:44:27

-on the character from the Jersey Shore.

-Oh!

0:44:270:44:30

Bet you guys liked that one, huh?

0:44:320:44:35

It's iconic to have the Housewives,

0:44:350:44:37

iconic to have Jersey Shore references.

0:44:370:44:40

We played to Jersey.

0:44:400:44:42

Donald, you're my knight in shining armour.

0:44:420:44:45

-You're hired!

-Yay!

0:44:460:44:49

I'm feeling pretty good about the performance.

0:44:510:44:54

We had a bomb-ass script.

0:44:540:44:56

We had a really cute theme.

0:44:560:44:58

This is going to come down to the overall sentiment of the crowd

0:44:580:45:02

and what theme they liked better.

0:45:020:45:04

They're the ones who have all the say whether we live or die.

0:45:040:45:07

-Hello, Lisa.

-Hi.

-How did you do?

-I think we did really well.

0:45:330:45:37

-The finished product was amazing.

-What was the product?

0:45:370:45:40

We did a parody of The Real Housewives, so that was called

0:45:400:45:43

The Unreal Housewives Of Camelot. And we based it upon our own best

0:45:430:45:47

natural resource on our team, little Miss Teresa,

0:45:470:45:49

who is a Real Housewife of New Jersey.

0:45:490:45:52

-That's true. Any nudity?

-Absolutely.

0:45:520:45:55

-Who?

-Oh, well, come on. Please. Dayana.

0:45:550:45:59

Well, it could be almost anybody on this team.

0:45:590:46:02

Tia wasn't afraid to shake it when she came in on the horse.

0:46:020:46:05

She looked quite good. They all looked fetching, I must say.

0:46:050:46:08

-They really did. They were all gorgeous.

-We all showed boobies.

0:46:080:46:11

-Yeah. There were some boobies hanging out.

-That sells.

0:46:110:46:13

-It does.

-You think you won?

0:46:130:46:15

You know what? I learned last week, never underestimate your opponent.

0:46:150:46:18

Because honestly, who would have thought Paul would have a friend

0:46:180:46:21

with 300 grand? He can't even buy shirt sleeves. So you know what?

0:46:210:46:24

LAUGHTER

0:46:240:46:26

I figure, you know what? You can never say in this business.

0:46:260:46:29

-That's good.

-We're confident but not cocky.

-OK, good.

0:46:290:46:32

Victoria, what did you think of Lisa as project manager?

0:46:320:46:36

I think she was on... She's strict.

0:46:360:46:41

She is strict. She is strict.

0:46:410:46:43

-And, um, you know...

-Was she a good leader?

0:46:430:46:47

-Yeah.

-Did you agree with her ideas?

0:46:480:46:51

Well, it was different because I had different roles...

0:46:510:46:53

-Doesn't sound like a great endorsement.

-I know!

-No, no, no, no,

0:46:530:46:56

no, no. No, no, not at all. Not at all.

0:46:560:46:59

Um, I had a different role, so it didn't really matter at that point,

0:46:590:47:03

but everybody else seemed to, and she was, you know...

0:47:030:47:06

They all got great vibes from her and it worked. It all gelled.

0:47:060:47:10

Now, there was some tension between you and Lisa early on, Victoria.

0:47:100:47:13

Can you talk a little bit about that and what happened?

0:47:130:47:16

Um...

0:47:160:47:18

Where should we start? Where should we start?

0:47:220:47:25

Well, um, in the beginning of day one, it's rushed,

0:47:250:47:28

it's crazy, and the first thing I did was pick out which women

0:47:280:47:32

should play roles, acting roles.

0:47:320:47:34

And we'd be crazy not to put into the acting roles people who have

0:47:340:47:37

acted and who are serious performers.

0:47:370:47:39

We needed a singer, so that's Debbie. We picked actresses. That's fine.

0:47:390:47:44

And I think Victoria felt pushed aside, even though I literally...

0:47:440:47:48

By Lisa?

0:47:480:47:49

-I literally had chosen her to be stage manager.

-Victoria, by Lisa?

0:47:490:47:52

I felt that, like, everybody had a costume and a position

0:47:520:47:56

in that play and out on that stage, and I did not have anything,

0:47:560:48:00

any task, anything to do.

0:48:000:48:02

And I was really hurt. I was disappointed

0:48:020:48:05

cos I felt it wasn't setting a good precedent or atmosphere

0:48:050:48:10

for the other girls.

0:48:100:48:11

I almost felt like it was saying that, you know, I didn't matter.

0:48:110:48:14

So you're not one 100% happy.

0:48:140:48:16

-That's why you gave me the answer you gave me before.

-No. Uh, no.

0:48:160:48:19

I think she did a fabulous job. Not at all.

0:48:190:48:22

-We had our, you know...but we're square and...

-OK. Fine.

0:48:220:48:27

-So, Teresa, you played a housewife.

-Mm-hm.

0:48:270:48:31

Very appropriate, especially in New Jersey. So, how did that work out?

0:48:310:48:35

Um, you know what?

0:48:350:48:37

It was a challenge for me, because I had to play parts that on my show

0:48:370:48:41

when I, you know, what actually happened had, you know,

0:48:410:48:45

a lot of feelings behind it. I was angry. I was upset.

0:48:450:48:48

So, I had to remember those emotions and act on them.

0:48:480:48:51

-Aubrey, how did she do?

-She's great.

-You like her?

-Yes, I love her.

0:48:510:48:55

-She's different than I watched on television.

-Mm-hm.

0:48:550:48:58

I see her on the show, and it looks like the real deal, but so far,

0:48:580:49:01

-you're different.

-I only attack when I'm attacked.

0:49:010:49:04

-And you do attack when you're attacked.

-Yes.

-You certainly do.

0:49:040:49:09

-May I say something?

-Yes. Go ahead.

0:49:100:49:12

When I was asked to do this, I was very pleased,

0:49:120:49:15

especially when I heard the theme. I was extremely pleased,

0:49:150:49:18

and also because I have considerable affection for Donald.

0:49:180:49:21

But I always thought when I watched the show that this is a kind of

0:49:210:49:24

a playful gig, a show. You know, what you do in your off time

0:49:240:49:28

and that it was a casual - it isn't.

0:49:280:49:30

-No!

-There is nothing casual about it.

0:49:300:49:33

And what impressed me most was the conscientiousness,

0:49:330:49:36

the sincerity, and the fervour of all of you. I didn't expect that.

0:49:360:49:39

It was a total surprise. And I must say it made me respect this show

0:49:390:49:43

and it made me respect all of you people. Hats off to all of you.

0:49:430:49:46

-VARIOUS:

-Thank you!

0:49:460:49:48

And by the way, I really think that's a great comment, and it's

0:49:480:49:51

appropriate, and I think you've done an amazing job.

0:49:510:49:54

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

-OK.

0:49:540:49:56

-Dee, are you OK?

-Sort of. Yeah.

0:49:560:49:59

-I know you hurt your finger pretty badly.

-Yeah.

-How is it?

0:49:590:50:02

-Um, it's severely fractured.

-It is severely fractured.

0:50:020:50:07

-That's what I heard.

-I need to get a pin put in probably on Monday.

-Wow.

0:50:070:50:10

-You didn't count on that, huh?

-No, I didn't.

0:50:100:50:13

And then if you get fired tonight, that would be even worse.

0:50:130:50:16

Keep that in mind when you're considering that.

0:50:160:50:19

"We got good news and bad news, Dee.

0:50:190:50:21

"Surgery won't be a problem cos you won't be here."

0:50:210:50:23

No, that's called bad news and bad news. So, how is it?

0:50:230:50:26

Was it very painful when it happened?

0:50:260:50:28

Uh, it was pretty surreal when it happened.

0:50:280:50:30

When I came off the horse I looked

0:50:300:50:32

-and my finger was at a 45-degree angle.

-Really?

-Yeah.

0:50:320:50:37

-So, uh... Did you see this happen, Paul?

-No.

0:50:370:50:40

-Did anybody see it happen?

-I did.

-What did you think, George?

0:50:400:50:43

I was on the platform when Lady Dee Dee came out on her horse,

0:50:430:50:47

-and then suddenly...

-Oh.

0:50:470:50:50

..the horse reared and Dee slipped.

0:50:500:50:54

-Was it the horse's fault, would you say?

-No, no, no.

0:50:540:50:56

The horse heard something it wasn't familiar with.

0:50:560:50:59

-It was a tambourine.

-Oh. Who did that? Who was with the tambourine?

0:50:590:51:02

-That was me. That was me.

-He may have to sue you.

-The inside job!

0:51:020:51:06

-He may have to sue you.

-I bought the tambourine! So I did myself in.

0:51:060:51:10

Of course.

0:51:100:51:12

-So, the horse got spooked.

-It got spooked. And they taped it.

0:51:120:51:15

-So, did you perform even though you had a broken finger?

-Yeah.

-Wow.

0:51:150:51:18

-They just taped it.

-That's pretty good.

0:51:180:51:20

-So, that shows courage, Paul, right?

-Absolutely.

0:51:200:51:22

So, he had a broken finger, pretty badly.

0:51:220:51:24

-It's fractured, actually, right?

-Yeah, it snapped at the base.

-Wow.

0:51:240:51:28

-So, they think I may need a pin.

-Wow.

-Well, I hope you don't.

0:51:280:51:31

Don't listen to the doctor. Just let it heal. All right.

0:51:310:51:34

Paul, how did you like Penn as the project manager?

0:51:340:51:37

-Phenomenal.

-Whoa, that's a big statement. Michael?

-I totally agree.

0:51:400:51:44

-Why? Why, Michael?

-He was a leader.

0:51:440:51:46

I mean, he had control from the moment he took...

0:51:460:51:49

People are respecting this man.

0:51:490:51:50

-They're all respecting him.

-He's a great guy.

0:51:500:51:53

He's going to drop his partner pretty soon.

0:51:530:51:55

-You know, he's going to say, like, uh...

-It's already been announced in

0:51:550:51:58

-the Vegas papers that we've split up.

-No, no, I can see it.

0:51:580:52:01

Lou, what did you think of Penn?

0:52:010:52:03

-What did you think of your project manager?

-Excellent.

0:52:030:52:05

Very informative, a good leader. And we gave 110%, whatever he said.

0:52:050:52:09

-And the guy was great.

-Who is your star, Lou? Who do you think...

0:52:090:52:13

You have a group of eight great guys, including yourself.

0:52:130:52:17

-Who is your star?

-I would say the team was the star.

0:52:170:52:20

Was there any one person that was fabulous?

0:52:200:52:22

-It's hard to say, because...

-Really the project manager..

0:52:220:52:25

-He's a renaissance man with so many talents.

-Yeah.

0:52:250:52:29

A take-charge guy with great ideas.

0:52:290:52:32

And still, he's humble.

0:52:320:52:34

-Hey, hey, hey, now, wait a minute. Humble?

-Humble. Yes.

0:52:340:52:38

-Do you think you're humble?

-Uh, I have plenty to be humble about.

0:52:380:52:42

-Did you enjoy being project manager?

-Uh, yeah.

-Not easy, though, right?

0:52:420:52:45

No, it's not particularly easy, although this is a group that needs

0:52:450:52:49

no strong control.

0:52:490:52:52

You pretty much say something once, and it is done.

0:52:520:52:56

-That'll change. You know that.

-OK.

0:52:560:52:58

As you get to know each other and as you start to lose, that will change.

0:52:580:53:02

I can't see the future, but so far it's great.

0:53:020:53:05

All right, well, we'll see what happens. Now, let me ask you this.

0:53:050:53:08

If you lose, who are you going to bring back?

0:53:080:53:11

-I think I respect you enough not to dodge that question.

-Go ahead.

0:53:140:53:18

I'll say very quickly that no-one should come back. Everyone was great.

0:53:180:53:22

So you think if you lose you're just going to bring yourself back?

0:53:220:53:24

I do not think so. I'll play by the rules.

0:53:240:53:26

-Cos that would mean you'd get fired.

-Yeah, I know.

0:53:260:53:28

-And you don't want to do that.

-I'm not going to do that. No.

0:53:280:53:31

OK. So, who would you bring back?

0:53:310:53:33

Uh...

0:53:350:53:37

-..that would be Mr Ferrigno and Mr Takei.

-Ooh. Whoa.

0:53:400:53:44

Lou and George.

0:53:460:53:48

-Yes.

-I see. And why is that?

0:53:480:53:50

Because they are such phenomenal actors and such good stars,

0:53:500:53:54

and I'm not sure that every challenge we do will use those features,

0:53:540:53:57

and other people seem to be, uh...

0:53:570:54:00

have talents that I don't know about yet and may be more versatile.

0:54:000:54:03

Lou, what do you think of what Penn said?

0:54:030:54:06

I was a little bit surprised with your name and George's name,

0:54:060:54:08

to be honest. What do you think?

0:54:080:54:10

I think it was unfair he underestimated me

0:54:100:54:12

-because I feel I gave 110%.

-He certainly did.

0:54:120:54:15

Wait a minute. And I feel that...

0:54:150:54:17

You see, I came from nothing.

0:54:170:54:19

I killed myself my whole life. There's nothing I can't do.

0:54:190:54:22

And I give 110%.

0:54:220:54:23

-I feel it's an insult to all of us.

-It is. It is. I'm sorry about that.

0:54:230:54:28

You can say whatever you want.

0:54:280:54:30

-I will.

-You play a power trip on me and everyone. It's a power trip.

0:54:300:54:34

Penn has the impression because we're actors, George and I,

0:54:340:54:37

he doesn't realise that we have better work ethic, and I could

0:54:370:54:40

work twice as hard as he did. But he's wrong when he said

0:54:400:54:43

basically he's favouring the other people because he feels that

0:54:430:54:46

the fact that we don't know enough about business.

0:54:460:54:48

But one thing about myself I learned as I go along, I give 110%

0:54:480:54:51

-as a team effort, and I think you're wrong.

-I am.

-Yeah.

0:54:510:54:55

-I am wrong.

-Yeah.

0:54:550:54:57

It's an impossible choice to make,

0:54:570:54:59

-and I had to make it, and I did say...

-So will you take that back?

0:54:590:55:02

I would... I cannot take it back.

0:55:020:55:05

So you wouldn't take it back, so therefore you're not wrong.

0:55:050:55:08

-So you shouldn't say you're wrong.

-I, I, I...

-Ha!

0:55:080:55:11

He's saying, "I gave up millions of dollars to be abused like this."

0:55:110:55:14

I'm not being abused at all.

0:55:140:55:16

Ha! Clay?

0:55:160:55:17

What he said breaks my heart and he did a perfect job and he...

0:55:170:55:23

I still don't understand. Why did you bring him back?

0:55:230:55:25

Because you ask me who I would bring back if I had to.

0:55:250:55:28

I didn't think I was going to have to.

0:55:280:55:29

I think we have a very good chance of winning this.

0:55:290:55:32

And if we win, I'm sure Lou will be a complete team player.

0:55:320:55:36

-I'm sure he will completely forgive me.

-Lou, are you upset with him?

0:55:360:55:40

-Yeah.

-Why?

-Because he's not giving me a chance and giving George and I

0:55:400:55:43

a chance because he's wrong, because he feels

0:55:430:55:45

that, as actors, like, we're inferior.

0:55:450:55:48

He's a fabulous actor and a fabulous star

0:55:480:55:49

and I enjoyed every moment of it.

0:55:490:55:52

The Incredible Hunk!

0:55:520:55:54

Did you just say "The Incredible Hunk"?

0:55:540:55:56

Yeah, yeah!

0:55:560:55:57

Cos I heard that...

0:55:570:55:58

No, I said, "The Incredible Hulk", all right? Hulk!

0:55:580:56:01

I think you had a Freudian slip there.

0:56:010:56:03

No, but that was such a huge show.

0:56:030:56:05

But there is something beyond the body.

0:56:050:56:07

It had to do with the science, it had to do with the psychology.

0:56:070:56:09

And the truth, that's why I'm sorry for saying this, because I'm honest.

0:56:090:56:12

-I know.

-I'll say it right to your face. I'm not one of those guys

0:56:120:56:15

-BLEEP

-around pretending everything's all right.

-I know.

0:56:150:56:18

You're wrong because, for me, I work twice as hard as you do.

0:56:180:56:20

Lou, you can beat the crap out of him if you want. Are you concerned that he's a big guy?

0:56:200:56:24

-No.

-Not too much, right?

-I'm not a big guy.

0:56:240:56:27

I'm also a coward, so that makes it a little easier.

0:56:270:56:30

Yeah, but I just thought Lou's response was very strong.

0:56:300:56:32

So, tell me, George, what did you think of what Penn said about you?

0:56:340:56:39

-He picked you and Lou.

-My sense is different from Lou's.

0:56:390:56:41

-Go ahead.

-I, my admiration and respect for Penn

0:56:410:56:46

just grows and grows.

0:56:460:56:48

First of all, he's got a painfully difficult decision to make.

0:56:480:56:52

I agree. Do you think your team won?

0:56:520:56:54

-I am absolutely confident...

-Cos then it doesn't matter.

0:56:540:56:57

..this is a hypothetical question you're asking.

0:56:570:56:59

I thought he did as good a job...

0:56:590:57:01

Look, I'm demanding that he give me two.

0:57:010:57:03

So it's not like, "Oh, I'm not going to name them now, Mr Trump",

0:57:030:57:06

because then he probably gets fired, right? So I'm demanding.

0:57:060:57:09

I thought he did as nice a job, Lou, in all fairness,

0:57:090:57:11

as you possibly can do.

0:57:110:57:13

Me, I underlined that neither of them did anything wrong

0:57:130:57:17

and there were no mistakes whatsoever.

0:57:170:57:19

And it was a difficult hypothetical.

0:57:190:57:21

And I do think we'll win, and I hope,

0:57:210:57:24

if and when we win, that they'll be able to forgive me and move on.

0:57:240:57:28

OK. So, Arsenio, if you were me and your team loses, who would you fire?

0:57:290:57:36

-I don't think we're going to lose.

-That's OK.

0:57:360:57:39

But if we lose, fire the guy that created it and ran the whole show.

0:57:390:57:42

So you fire the project manager.

0:57:420:57:44

-Yeah, fire Spielberg with the ponytail over there.

-LAUGHTER

0:57:440:57:47

-How about we will fire the guy that fell off the horse?

-No!

0:57:470:57:50

Fire the guy with the tambourine!

0:57:500:57:53

LAUGHTER

0:57:530:57:54

I just love firing Dee because, look,

0:57:560:57:58

he broke his finger badly and then we fire him.

0:57:580:58:01

It's just a horrible night, right?

0:58:010:58:02

You know, just, it's life. Like that.

0:58:020:58:05

So, Lisa, if your team loses, tell me, who are you going to bring back?

0:58:070:58:13

This is hard, as it always is.

0:58:140:58:17

I'm a little bit on the fence about a couple of people.

0:58:170:58:21

Um, the one definitely going back is Victoria

0:58:210:58:24

because she let her emotions get in the way.

0:58:240:58:26

-She didn't wait for her assignment, which...

-Second time in a row.

0:58:260:58:30

Well, it was... To me, I run shows.

0:58:300:58:33

The most important job is stage director.

0:58:330:58:35

So I thought it would be great to grab the toughest

0:58:350:58:38

woman on the team, who could give orders...

0:58:380:58:40

And you think the toughest woman is who?

0:58:400:58:42

-Victoria.

-And you still believe she's the toughest woman?

0:58:420:58:45

-Um...

-What about Teresa? I've seen her. She's pretty tough.

0:58:450:58:47

Teresa was already in the show. She couldn't be the stage manager.

0:58:470:58:51

Were you happy with Teresa?

0:58:510:58:52

Oh, my God. I loved it. She was phenomenal.

0:58:520:58:54

You're doing very well, Teresa. I'm telling you, your career is over.

0:58:540:58:58

Yeah, so, because of various things, discipline and threats to quit the team etc...

0:58:580:59:05

-OK.

-..I'd bring back Victoria.

-Did Victoria threaten the team?

0:59:050:59:08

She didn't threaten the team, she threatened to quit the team.

0:59:080:59:11

And I thought that was inappropriate.

0:59:110:59:12

I asked her to be stage manager and her initial response was,

0:59:120:59:15

"I don't do that well."

0:59:150:59:17

-That's not true.

-Were there other people that saw that?

0:59:170:59:20

-Yes, a whole table full of people.

-Who's telling the truth?

0:59:200:59:24

Aubrey, you nodded, so...

0:59:240:59:26

Victoria did say that she didn't want to be director.

0:59:260:59:28

And she didn't feel that was where she was best placed.

0:59:280:59:31

I said, "I don't know what to do, if you'll tell me.

0:59:310:59:33

-You look very good tonight, Aubrey.

-Thank you.

-I have to say.

0:59:330:59:35

Do you mind if I say it here? Is that sexist?

0:59:350:59:37

I finally get a "pretty girl" comment?

0:59:370:59:39

-Yes!

-Penn, is that sexist?

0:59:390:59:40

I think, by definition, yes, but not necessarily wrong.

0:59:400:59:43

All right, well, OK.

0:59:430:59:45

So, Lisa, you're not a big fan of Victoria and the job she did, right?

0:59:450:59:50

As far as Victoria is concerned, the fact is,

0:59:500:59:53

I saved the toughest job for her and

0:59:530:59:55

yet she emotionally felt left out, and it's not my job to babysit you.

0:59:550:59:59

It's not my job to be coddling you. I like you as a person.

0:59:591:00:03

We'll hang out after we all leave this place,

1:00:031:00:05

but don't expect me to be your mother.

1:00:051:00:07

Whoa! Tough statement.

1:00:071:00:10

That was very tough. So you say Victoria. Who else?

1:00:111:00:16

-I felt, um, with Dayana, she didn't seem to have...

-Dayana?!

1:00:161:00:21

-..she, as a team player...

-Whoa! Dayana?!

1:00:211:00:23

..she didn't seem to have the skill set that it required to do

1:00:231:00:26

-anything in additional to shopping and general tasks.

-Whoa!

1:00:261:00:30

It's really funny, because I kept trying to give opinions

1:00:301:00:34

and nobody ever heard me, and I tried to keep my hands

1:00:341:00:38

as busy as possible, but she never allowed me to.

1:00:381:00:41

I was just told to be pretty on a horse.

1:00:411:00:44

-Can I say something?

-Go ahead.

1:00:461:00:49

I wanted to say before, you know, you announce,

1:00:491:00:51

and I think, if the other girls can give their opinion also, it was very

1:00:511:00:56

clear for us that, if we were to lose, it was because of the concept.

1:00:561:01:01

-And most of the people...

-And who came up with the concept?

1:01:011:01:04

-Two people came with the concept.

-Who?

1:01:041:01:06

The project manager and it was Aubrey.

1:01:061:01:08

Oh, Aubrey, you're going to get fired tonight.

1:01:081:01:11

-That's absolutely not true.

-I came up with the concept.

-You did?

1:01:111:01:15

And if that is the problem with the performance...

1:01:151:01:17

-But, bigger than that, everyone agreed with her.

-Excuse me.

1:01:171:01:21

-The second I mentioned the concept...

-Fangs coming out!

1:01:211:01:24

..there was a unanimous, "Oh, my God, that's great, using our natural resource of Teresa."

1:01:241:01:28

She loved the idea.

1:01:281:01:30

We never did. We never did.

1:01:301:01:31

When I got there that day, first of all, we had no say in that concept.

1:01:311:01:35

There were only two leaders. And I don't need a mother, by the way.

1:01:351:01:38

I don't need mothering from, certainly not you.

1:01:381:01:40

You did this week.

1:01:401:01:42

Mr Trump, she had a few meltdowns. It was a big nightmare.

1:01:431:01:47

-I did not care...

-Meltdown is threatening to quit the team.

1:01:471:01:51

Quitting the team, I said, "Perhaps, I have no task here.

1:01:511:01:53

"I don't belong here. Perhaps I should go play for the men."

1:01:531:01:56

-That's what I said, Lisa, and you know that.

-Here's the thing.

1:01:561:01:59

The theme of what's happening here is kind of what's happened in this task.

1:01:591:02:02

If you notice, there's five of us not saying much.

1:02:021:02:06

-What did happen was...

-Just one second. One more thing.

1:02:061:02:09

The creative director, by the way, in the end, was not me, Mr Trump.

1:02:091:02:12

It was given to Aubrey, OK?

1:02:121:02:13

It wasn't creative, it was stage.

1:02:131:02:15

It was given to Aubrey, and when I went back there...

1:02:151:02:17

Aubrey, are you two holding hands?

1:02:171:02:19

-Yeah.

-Why?

1:02:191:02:21

Because I think, of the two reality stars of this group,

1:02:211:02:23

we are saying the least. I think it's just so catty.

1:02:231:02:26

I hate all the, "Oh, I love you, girl, you're so great."

1:02:261:02:29

Then in the boardroom it's, "She, she, she," and "That, that, that."

1:02:291:02:32

You know I've seen that happen before.

1:02:321:02:34

It's business. You cannot take it emotionally.

1:02:341:02:36

It is business. You always say that it's not personal.

1:02:361:02:38

Here's the tricky part.

1:02:381:02:40

Teresa, you've seen this before, right?

1:02:401:02:42

-Yeah, we've seen it a lot.

-Gets worse and worse. Here's the thing.

1:02:421:02:45

-You may have won.

-Yeah, this is true. Because we should have.

1:02:451:02:47

Now, the audience was amazing

1:02:471:02:50

and much, much larger than we thought.

1:02:501:02:52

Now, James, how did the men do, and what did you think of the team?

1:02:521:02:57

I thought the men did very well.

1:02:571:02:59

I went home last night and I did what I do for a living -

1:02:591:03:01

-I made some blue cards, and, erm, and I wrote...

-That's a lot of notes.

1:03:011:03:06

We could be here for long. No, that's OK.

1:03:061:03:09

What are some of your thoughts, James?

1:03:091:03:11

I thought that the men's show had enormous energy

1:03:111:03:15

and it started with Penn and with Arsenio.

1:03:151:03:19

From the moment they came out, bang, there was

1:03:191:03:21

this energy that was really palpable and I admired that enormously.

1:03:211:03:26

I thought that the men's team played to their strengths and skills.

1:03:261:03:31

Penn ate fire, he juggled, he drove the action.

1:03:311:03:33

Arsenio fed constant comments.

1:03:331:03:35

Clay sang very well.

1:03:351:03:37

George used his classical training beautifully.

1:03:371:03:40

Lou used his physicality very well and then, at the end,

1:03:401:03:44

Penn did something that impressed me very much.

1:03:441:03:47

As you all passed and left the arena,

1:03:471:03:49

Penn identified every one of his cast to that audience,

1:03:491:03:53

who didn't necessarily know everything that was going on.

1:03:531:03:57

I liked that very much and that impressed me. Didn't surprise me.

1:03:571:04:01

-Thank you.

-And that, I think, is very important.

1:04:011:04:03

I enjoyed that. I thought that was great.

1:04:031:04:07

OK, so, James, what were the audience comments?

1:04:071:04:09

Audience comments, erm, "Funny and all-round entertaining.

1:04:091:04:12

"The men did a great job casting."

1:04:121:04:13

I agree.

1:04:131:04:15

"The men had great energy

1:04:151:04:16

"and did a great job getting the crowd involved."

1:04:161:04:18

-I couldn't agree more.

-OK.

1:04:181:04:20

That's very good. So, how many votes did the men get?

1:04:201:04:25

Well, Donald...

1:04:251:04:27

ladies and gentlemen...

1:04:271:04:29

the men's team received 558 votes.

1:04:291:04:33

That's very good. Good job, fellas.

1:04:351:04:37

Thank you.

1:04:371:04:38

Don, the women's team?

1:04:381:04:40

Well, some of the audience comments...

1:04:401:04:42

primarily, they loved incorporating the New Jersey Housewives.

1:04:421:04:45

They really thought that was incredible.

1:04:451:04:47

They loved seeing Teresa flip the table.

1:04:471:04:49

Actually, one person said that actually made her life complete.

1:04:491:04:52

LAUGHTER

1:04:521:04:53

It's a pretty bold statement.

1:04:531:04:55

-They really liked...

-Did you do that, Teresa?

1:04:551:04:57

-Yeah.

-You flipped a table?

1:04:571:04:59

-Oh, yeah.

-That's very cute. That's cute. I want to see this. Go ahead.

1:04:591:05:02

And the girls looked hot,

1:05:021:05:04

which was very much in the direction that you were channelled.

1:05:041:05:07

I think that's pretty good.

1:05:071:05:09

OK, so it's the moment of truth.

1:05:101:05:13

Don, tell me, how did the women's team do in terms of the votes?

1:05:131:05:17

All in all...

1:05:201:05:21

..they got 363 votes from the audience.

1:05:231:05:26

Which means the men's team wins.

1:05:261:05:27

-Thank you, Mr Trump.

-You win 20,000.

1:05:271:05:30

Plus...plus...

1:05:301:05:33

..as you know, Medieval Times is going to match that with another 20.

1:05:341:05:38

-So you win 40,000 for your charity.

-Congratulations, man.

1:05:381:05:42

What is your charity?

1:05:421:05:43

My charity is called Opportunity Village.

1:05:431:05:46

And it helps people with intellectual disabilities

1:05:461:05:49

to enter the workforce.

1:05:491:05:50

People with IQs maybe 70 to 90

1:05:501:05:53

and all they want to do is be part of society

1:05:531:05:56

and not be warehoused and not be forgotten.

1:05:561:05:58

OK, great. Fantastic.

1:05:581:06:00

-Again, congratulations, men's team.

-Thank you.

-Great job.

1:06:001:06:02

OK, go back to your suite. Enjoy it.

1:06:021:06:05

Have a good time. Turn on your television.

1:06:051:06:08

You can watch what happens with the women.

1:06:081:06:10

-Have fun.

-Congratulations. Great job. Lou, congratulations.

1:06:101:06:15

-Thank you. Very nice meeting you.

-You did a great job.

-Thank you.

1:06:151:06:18

-All of you did a great job.

-I'm very sorry. I'm very sorry.

1:06:181:06:21

-Survived again. Still winning.

-Women, stay here.

1:06:221:06:26

Sadly, one of you will be fired.

1:06:261:06:28

I wasn't sure whether Lou was acting.

1:06:321:06:35

-He was serious. He was serious.

-He's honest. Lou...

1:06:351:06:37

-What's the problem?

-No, no, no, no, no.

1:06:371:06:39

You know, I got to say something to all of you.

1:06:391:06:41

-We're a team here.

-We are.

1:06:411:06:43

I was insulted that you mentioned my name.

1:06:431:06:45

I worked twice as hard as you. I can work three times as hard as you.

1:06:451:06:47

OK, but the point is respect everyone.

1:06:471:06:50

-I'm a fighter. You underestimate me.

-You are.

1:06:501:06:52

-I'll fight to the

-BLEEP

-death.

-Absolutely.

1:06:521:06:54

Having to have a winning team and to do a good show

1:06:541:06:56

and then to have to name two people on that winning team

1:06:561:06:59

is completely heartbreaking.

1:06:591:07:01

I don't appreciate in the future that anybody does that again

1:07:011:07:04

because this is about a team.

1:07:041:07:05

-It's negativity. Got to be positive.

-Lou, I just want to say something.

1:07:051:07:08

-I'm just saying how I feel.

-Yes, and we respect that.

1:07:081:07:11

But we think that Penn handled it in a gentlemanly and kind way.

1:07:111:07:15

And if he had gone to me, I would have reacted like George did.

1:07:151:07:19

Lou did not deserve to be treated that way.

1:07:191:07:22

And George did not deserve to be treated that way.

1:07:221:07:24

I was playing by the rules, and I did what I thought was best,

1:07:241:07:28

and I have no idea if it was correct.

1:07:281:07:29

-I'm so sorry. And I do respect you.

-Right, no problem.

1:07:291:07:32

-Please, please, try to forgive me.

-OK. All right.

1:07:321:07:35

Can you forgive me?

1:07:351:07:36

-Yeah.

-Thank you.

-Hey, guys, let's watch the women.

1:07:371:07:40

Lisa, what happened?

1:07:431:07:45

I don't know.

1:07:461:07:47

I'm just glad to hear we didn't lose because of the concept of the show.

1:07:471:07:50

-Are you surprised?

-Um, no.

1:07:501:07:52

It could have gone either way, 50-50.

1:07:521:07:54

And it's unfortunate the way it turned out.

1:07:541:07:56

Don, why do you think they lost?

1:07:581:08:00

Well, I think it was a little bit too one-sided.

1:08:001:08:02

I think you appealed to the men in the crowd,

1:08:021:08:04

but it probably wasn't diverse enough for the audience,

1:08:041:08:08

which was, you know, at least a quarter to half children.

1:08:081:08:10

-Understood.

-So I think even the women got it. You know, they...

1:08:101:08:13

-Is that correct, Dayana?

-Thank you.

1:08:131:08:16

That's something that I tried to make a statement at the table...

1:08:161:08:19

So they don't appreciate a beautiful woman.

1:08:191:08:22

The four-year-old next to me, he liked the motorcycle.

1:08:221:08:24

He didn't like seeing Dayana on a horse,

1:08:241:08:26

which I thought was a major mistake on his part.

1:08:261:08:28

He'll regret that in the future, but...

1:08:281:08:30

-All right, so, Dayana, you felt you weren't utilised enough.

-No.

1:08:301:08:34

-Whose fault is that?

-It is totally the project manager's fault.

1:08:341:08:38

I...I gave her more ideas. I gave her tools.

1:08:381:08:42

I kept my hands busy 100% of the time,

1:08:421:08:45

and she herself told me,

1:08:451:08:46

"I don't need you to do this. I don't need you to do that.

1:08:461:08:49

"I don't need you to do this."

1:08:491:08:50

Tia, why are you nodding?

1:08:521:08:53

I... This whole process just...

1:08:531:08:57

This is the worst part of it,

1:08:571:08:58

because I thought we did an amazing job,

1:08:581:09:00

and I think everybody here was involved,

1:09:001:09:03

whether they were given a task or not.

1:09:031:09:05

I mean, Dayana was sewing and gluing

1:09:051:09:08

and buying the bras and spray-painting.

1:09:081:09:10

Patricia did an amazing fight.

1:09:101:09:12

She did double cartwheels. She did a backflip.

1:09:121:09:15

Victoria, although she wasn't given a task initially,

1:09:151:09:17

she went up and she was like,

1:09:171:09:19

"Let me help you go and shop for this stuff."

1:09:191:09:21

Do you think Victoria did a good job?

1:09:211:09:22

Absolutely. I think she sewed everything.

1:09:221:09:24

Because Lisa's not a huge fan...of Victoria.

1:09:241:09:26

-I'm a fan of Victoria.

-Not at all. She told me.

1:09:261:09:29

I'm not a fan of missed cues.

1:09:291:09:31

There was an uncomfortable silence

1:09:311:09:33

after the horse came out with Dayana on it.

1:09:331:09:36

That is because I was waiting backstage to announce,

1:09:361:09:38

and there's supposed to be a trumpet flourish.

1:09:381:09:40

Written in bold-face, highlighted, bold, 16-point type -

1:09:401:09:44

"trumpet flourish".

1:09:441:09:46

-It didn't happen.

-Aubrey, can you tell the truth?

1:09:461:09:48

Whose fault is that?

1:09:481:09:49

-Oh, it's always my fault.

-No, she was given...

1:09:491:09:51

I told her her whole job was the most important job of the whole task.

1:09:511:09:54

Victoria, do you think you should be fired?

1:09:541:09:57

No, because, Donald, I was on my hands and knees the entire day, OK?

1:09:571:10:01

Sewing costumes, doing hair.

1:10:011:10:03

-Don't stand there and tell me that I did nothing.

-Everyone did a job.

1:10:031:10:08

What happened was...

1:10:081:10:09

I think Debbie wants to say something.

1:10:091:10:11

-She hasn't been able to speak at all.

-Debbie, go ahead.

1:10:111:10:13

I'm going to be really, really candid.

1:10:131:10:17

I think Lisa was slightly overwhelmed cos she took on a lot.

1:10:171:10:20

She didn't realise that Aubrey was very vocal, and again, it's...

1:10:201:10:24

I think it's just a nuance thing with Aubrey.

1:10:241:10:26

She's young and excited.

1:10:261:10:28

But there's a nuance

1:10:281:10:29

to including the team in a little better way.

1:10:291:10:31

She asked me to do everything that I did.

1:10:311:10:33

It's a constructive criticism. It is not an attack.

1:10:331:10:36

I think that several people...

1:10:361:10:37

..their style of doing things...

1:10:391:10:40

Deborah, if you were me, who would you fire?

1:10:401:10:42

Your team lost. If you were me...

1:10:421:10:44

And I was very surprised to see Victoria,

1:10:441:10:46

who I've known for a long time, with the tears.

1:10:461:10:48

I've never seen that from you, Victoria.

1:10:481:10:50

You do have a heart.

1:10:501:10:52

-Oh, yeah, she does.

-You do have a heart.

1:10:521:10:54

-Of course she does.

-She's amazing.

-She's a great woman.

1:10:541:10:56

Why do you take that so hard, though?

1:10:561:10:58

Because...

1:10:581:11:00

This is teamwork.

1:11:041:11:06

This is about teamwork. We're a team.

1:11:061:11:08

I showed up there yesterday morning with the greatest attitude.

1:11:081:11:11

And, Donald, I did whatever it took,

1:11:111:11:14

from shovelling horse manure...

1:11:141:11:15

-Pinning the costumes and everything.

-..anything I could...

1:11:151:11:18

-She did?

-She was doing so much yesterday.

1:11:181:11:20

I made them look great and anything they wanted me to do,

1:11:201:11:23

-I would do, and the day before.

-Yesterday. Day one, nothing.

1:11:231:11:26

-Donald, she wasn't included the day before.

-It's not true.

1:11:261:11:28

She was included by being asked to be stage director.

1:11:281:11:31

-The day before, she did step up.

-Excuse me.

1:11:311:11:33

The most fantastic job, the most difficult job.

1:11:331:11:36

When I am out doing my shows on the road,

1:11:361:11:38

I have a guy upstairs, doing what she does,

1:11:381:11:40

that gets paid a lot of money to call those cues...

1:11:401:11:43

-You didn't give that to Aubrey.

-Excuse me.

1:11:431:11:44

There were several cues that were missed.

1:11:441:11:46

-Then she got it together...

-That screws with the show from the beginning.

1:11:461:11:50

And like I said, it's not the only reason we lost to the men.

1:11:501:11:54

But when there are mistakes,

1:11:541:11:56

it wasn't in the script that was written.

1:11:561:11:58

It was in stuff that was...

1:11:581:12:00

The ball was dropped by several people,

1:12:001:12:04

and that's not OK.

1:12:041:12:06

-Damn, Lisa!

-You know James Lipton is like,

1:12:061:12:08

-"What in the hell is this?!"

-Oh, my God!

1:12:081:12:10

They don't fight like this on Inside The Actors Studio.

1:12:101:12:13

-He's never seen anything like that.

-LAUGHTER

1:12:131:12:16

And, also, Mr Trump, I will tell you honestly,

1:12:161:12:18

I was raised by a really tough Italian mother,

1:12:181:12:20

and my management style isn't for everybody,

1:12:201:12:23

but it gets the job done.

1:12:231:12:25

And you know what? If I don't have time to listen

1:12:251:12:27

to eight women screaming at the same time,

1:12:271:12:30

which is what this group did all last week on Patricia's watch

1:12:301:12:33

and wasn't going to do on mine...

1:12:331:12:34

We were in a costume room at one point.

1:12:341:12:36

There was an outpouring of,

1:12:361:12:38

"Oh, my God, I look good in this, in this!"

1:12:381:12:40

-I'm like, "Calm down."

-Not true.

-Yes, it is!

-No, Lisa.

1:12:401:12:43

-Cursing out your team does not help.

-That is not true.

1:12:431:12:45

We went to see the costume person, and we did...

1:12:451:12:48

And no-one would let this woman talk.

1:12:481:12:50

Was everyone screaming, Aubrey, or not?

1:12:501:12:53

-Everyone was very loud in the costume area.

-Why?

1:12:551:12:57

Because there's all these beautiful costumes,

1:12:571:13:00

and everybody was excited about trying things on

1:13:001:13:03

and getting their costumes.

1:13:031:13:04

There was a lack of organisation in that room, it was difficult...

1:13:041:13:07

You blame that on your project manager?

1:13:071:13:09

-It should be.

-No, everybody's...

-I was the one who quieted them down.

1:13:091:13:12

It sounds like you're all guilty of just wanting to look better,

1:13:121:13:15

and it got a little girlie.

1:13:151:13:16

-Well, it has no point in business.

-I don't disagree.

1:13:161:13:20

If there was one thing that was done last week,

1:13:201:13:23

I made sure everybody had a task assigned,

1:13:231:13:25

and I made sure everybody was playing to their strengths.

1:13:251:13:28

She was a great project manager. She listened to everybody.

1:13:281:13:30

When I went to visit you yesterday, though...

1:13:301:13:33

-She didn't give us...

-..I didn't get to see Victoria

1:13:331:13:35

and I didn't get to see Dayana, because you guys were out shopping.

1:13:351:13:38

-Mm-hm.

-But it seemed like when I was there and talking with you guys and everyone else...

1:13:381:13:42

everyone else had a defined task. They knew what they were doing.

1:13:421:13:45

They got the direction. No-one voiced any complaints.

1:13:451:13:48

-We didn't get direction.

-That's not what you told me.

1:13:481:13:50

You were told to practise your sword-fighting,

1:13:501:13:53

-practise your lines...

-And we did.

-OK, OK, OK.

1:13:531:13:56

-Patricia.

-Yes, sir.

-Your team lost.

-Yes, unfortunately.

1:13:581:14:02

If you were me, who would you fire?

1:14:021:14:04

It's really hard to ask...say this question,

1:14:071:14:10

because I think Lisa is an amazing,

1:14:101:14:13

um...at...at following, but I think...

1:14:131:14:14

-That's usually the kill, Lisa. You know that.

-That's OK.

1:14:141:14:17

-No, no...

-Good luck.

-Not like that.

-Go ahead.

1:14:171:14:19

But Lisa has so much talent in the writing and the things,

1:14:191:14:24

and she does one thing that is very important.

1:14:241:14:26

Although she's in the middle of the craziness,

1:14:261:14:28

she's not intentional about it.

1:14:281:14:30

Who would you fire?

1:14:301:14:32

Victoria.

1:14:321:14:34

Oh, Victoria. Meh.

1:14:341:14:35

I thought you were getting all set to do the Lisa thing.

1:14:351:14:38

-You would fire Victoria.

-Yes.

-OK. Why Victoria?

1:14:381:14:42

Victoria stepped up the second day,

1:14:421:14:44

and I think that she should have come up from the beginning

1:14:441:14:47

and said, "I'm in. We've given me a second chance.

1:14:471:14:50

-"Whatever you want me to do."

-OK.

1:14:501:14:52

So, Aubrey, let me ask you this. If you were me, who would you fire?

1:14:521:14:58

I will say the least-utilised woman in this task, and that's Dayana.

1:14:581:15:03

-Man.

-I think she's so insecure.

1:15:031:15:05

I don't think she likes being not the prettiest one on the cast.

1:15:051:15:08

Are you saying that Dayana's prettier than Aubrey?

1:15:081:15:11

-I'm saying Victoria's prettier than Aubrey.

-Ooh!

1:15:111:15:14

LAUGHTER

1:15:141:15:16

OK, so, Dayana, if you were me, who would you fire?

1:15:191:15:25

Um...

1:15:251:15:27

Lisa, you're amazing, you're a great writer.

1:15:291:15:32

I enjoyed my time with you.

1:15:321:15:34

But, Lisa, you were the project manager.

1:15:341:15:36

-I agree.

-We didn't lose because of anything I did, sir.

1:15:381:15:40

And we had no vote in it.

1:15:401:15:42

The concept was complimented by the audience several times.

1:15:421:15:44

We're going to find out. You're going to pick two people.

1:15:441:15:47

-Fantastic.

-You'll bring them back to the boardroom.

1:15:471:15:49

Somebody will be fired. Who are the two you're bringing back?

1:15:491:15:52

I will take Victoria and Dayana.

1:15:571:16:01

OK. Everybody, right now, go outside.

1:16:021:16:06

You three, come back in a few minutes.

1:16:061:16:07

-Well, that wasn't smart, cos she knows Dayana's against her.

-Yeah.

1:16:131:16:16

You got one girl that'll kill you with her beauty

1:16:161:16:18

and another one that'll kill you with her family.

1:16:181:16:21

I've never felt more not needed or wanted in my life, ever.

1:16:231:16:27

And what bothers me is that that person

1:16:271:16:30

just can't step up and admit it.

1:16:301:16:31

SHE MOUTHS

1:16:321:16:34

How would you feel if everybody made you part of a show and...?

1:16:471:16:50

-And asked me to be the most important person there?

-Oh, God.

1:16:501:16:53

It's the most important role. That you can't see that...

1:16:531:16:55

Check your ego at the door. It's not about you.

1:16:551:16:57

-I did check my ego at the door.

-You didn't, you refused to do the work.

-Oh, I did.

1:16:571:17:01

I'm not arguing with you, because you're inarguable,

1:17:011:17:03

you have lies made up in your head.

1:17:031:17:05

-Oh, God, please, Lisa.

-So enjoy the delusion of your life.

1:17:051:17:07

Yeah.

1:17:071:17:09

-What do you think, Don?

-I think it's a tough call.

1:17:101:17:13

I think it's probably between Lisa and Victoria,

1:17:131:17:15

because I don't like when someone effectively quits

1:17:151:17:17

cos they don't like the job they've been assigned.

1:17:171:17:19

At the same time, the project manager still lost the task.

1:17:191:17:22

I think Dayana really has no business being in here.

1:17:221:17:24

Not easy.

1:17:241:17:26

Amanda, bring them back in.

1:17:261:17:28

Yes, sir.

1:17:281:17:29

-Mr Trump is ready for you.

-Thanks.

1:17:291:17:32

(Let's go.)

1:17:321:17:33

-So, Lisa, here you sit.

-Yeah.

1:17:501:17:52

Why did you bring Victoria back in?

1:17:521:17:54

First of all, asking her to step up to the most important job

1:17:561:18:00

on day one, she refused to do so

1:18:001:18:02

and threatened to walk out on the room.

1:18:021:18:04

-Is that true, Victoria?

-Secondly...

-No, it's not, Donald.

1:18:041:18:06

Well, we heard it from Aubrey. She agreed.

1:18:061:18:08

What had happened was she told me after I approached her

1:18:081:18:12

and said, "Well, what about me? What task do I have?"

1:18:121:18:14

She said, "I have no time for you. I have no time for this."

1:18:141:18:17

-No, Victoria.

-OK. Let me finish, please.

-No.

-Let me finish.

1:18:171:18:20

-Because the lies are flowing...

-Mr Trump...

-..and that is not appropriate in front of Mr Trump.

1:18:201:18:24

Oh, please. You know what happened?

1:18:241:18:26

Your task got away from you, and you want to blame everybody else, Lisa.

1:18:261:18:29

-Everybody else.

-No, that's not true. I asked her to do it.

1:18:291:18:32

She said, "I'm not good at that."

1:18:321:18:34

Now, I don't know if you've experienced an employee actually saying to you,

1:18:341:18:38

"No, Mr Trump, I'm not going to do that. I'm not good at it."

1:18:381:18:40

I think your employees know enough to say yes.

1:18:401:18:42

-But did Victoria quit?

-No, I did not. No, I did not.

1:18:421:18:45

She said, "I will just go and talk to Mr Trump and join the men's team",

1:18:451:18:48

-and I said, "That's inappropriate."

-I said, "I may as well go to the men's team, cos you're

1:18:481:18:52

"putting me in a closet. What is your problem?"

1:18:521:18:54

-That's what I said to her.

-Stage director is not a closet.

1:18:541:18:57

That's the most important job, as I know, running shows.

1:18:571:18:59

To add to the list, Mr Trump, I said...

1:18:591:19:02

After she refused to be stage manager,

1:19:021:19:05

She came back, and I said,

1:19:051:19:06

"Why don't you help me look up medieval terminology?"

1:19:061:19:09

So when I wrote the script, it could be in medieval language.

1:19:091:19:12

-And I didn't do it, right?

-No, you didn't.

1:19:121:19:14

-You spelled it, as a writer...

-I didn't do it?!

-Excuse me.

1:19:141:19:16

-I didn't do it?

-Yes! Yes!

1:19:161:19:19

You spelled it "M-I-D dash E-V-I-L". Are you a writer?

1:19:191:19:22

-Oh, please. Oh, please.

-That was no help to me, sir.

1:19:221:19:25

I apologise. Medieval Times stationery was sitting there.

1:19:251:19:28

And if you can't google a simple phrase... I grabbed the computer from her...

1:19:281:19:31

But you didn't lose for that reason, Lisa.

1:19:311:19:33

-Sir...

-You didn't lose for that reason.

1:19:331:19:35

I'm being blamed for underutilising her.

1:19:351:19:37

So I'm explaining why. You know how it is.

1:19:371:19:39

If you have employees who don't do the job, you have to wrest it

1:19:391:19:42

-away from them for time's sake.

-So you say Victoria did not do the job?

1:19:421:19:45

She did a terrible job, until day two.

1:19:451:19:48

But then that ended when it was time to call the lights and the sound.

1:19:481:19:53

It's showtime, baby. And those cues were completely off.

1:19:531:19:56

-And that is off-putting to an audience.

-Oh, yeah.

1:19:561:19:58

I do this for a living. I don't like shows that don't run perfectly.

1:19:581:20:01

-Why weren't you in there, then?

-Because I volunteered to stage direct, and everybody said...

1:20:011:20:06

-I told you I knew nothing about it.

-I once again had to impersonate you

1:20:061:20:09

and once again be the joke of the show.

1:20:091:20:11

So I am sorry, sir! And I am sorry to be emotional!

1:20:111:20:15

This is how she lost it twice, OK?

1:20:151:20:16

-Wait, Victoria. You did the same thing earlier.

-You did it too!

1:20:161:20:19

Right, but I wasn't leading the girls.

1:20:191:20:21

We didn't lose this task because we had our gimmicks.

1:20:211:20:23

-Everybody panicked.

-We lost this task

1:20:231:20:25

because I had somebody who threatened to quit.

1:20:251:20:28

-I have been in the business for 21 years.

-You're right.

1:20:281:20:31

-Everything was on me.

-And I have never had an employee say, "No".

1:20:311:20:35

And I am sorry I am emotional. I'm sorry I'm loud. But guess what?

1:20:351:20:40

Somehow, in a man's business, I've made it work!

1:20:401:20:43

I'm one of the top three women comedians today.

1:20:431:20:47

And I guarantee you, I go home, I wish them luck.

1:20:471:20:51

If the concept lost us the task or my temper did, God bless.

1:20:511:20:54

I would literally fall on my own sword,

1:20:541:20:57

as they would in Medieval Times.

1:20:571:20:58

But guess what? I wasn't the problem.

1:20:581:21:01

You don't think the concept is to blame?

1:21:011:21:03

No, according to your son...

1:21:031:21:04

Seemed to be one of the big winning points,

1:21:041:21:07

based on the audience.

1:21:071:21:08

Dayana, what happened?

1:21:081:21:11

What happened here...

1:21:111:21:13

Regarding them, the first day, Aubrey was there.

1:21:131:21:17

-I had no... Mr Trump, she did not want me there.

-Because she refused to do it.

-You did not want me.

1:21:171:21:21

-You said, "Aubrey." I was there.

-Mr Trump, I did not refuse to do it.

1:21:211:21:25

-She refused!

-I said I am a...

1:21:251:21:26

You said, "I don't want to do it."

1:21:261:21:28

I can swear to you on anything in the world,

1:21:281:21:31

I was given that position late that night

1:21:311:21:34

-at nine o'clock in the car ride home.

-I was there at two o'clock on the first day,

1:21:341:21:37

-so only a couple hours after you got the task.

-Right.

1:21:371:21:39

-And you weren't there. You had left already.

-Right.

-I was with Dayana.

1:21:391:21:42

And everyone in the room, all five members of the women's team

1:21:421:21:45

-who are not here right now...

-Right.

1:21:451:21:47

..all said that this had already transpired,

1:21:471:21:49

that you tried...Lisa tried to give you that position.

1:21:491:21:51

-You didn't want it.

-Right.

-You wanted to be an actress.

1:21:511:21:55

Chronologically, please, Don - that was day one, OK?

1:21:571:22:00

-I only...

-Well, that's what I'm saying.

1:22:001:22:01

My point is that I heard this, meaning I'm verifying Lisa's story

1:22:011:22:04

-based on five other members of the team...

-Day one. Day one.

1:22:041:22:07

..who are not in the room, on day one, which is...

1:22:071:22:09

Day one. Correct.

1:22:091:22:10

-Correct, but that's very early in the task.

-James... OK.

1:22:101:22:13

James, what do you have to say?

1:22:131:22:15

I would like to say to you

1:22:151:22:17

that one of the most important words in the English language,

1:22:171:22:20

which we try to instil into our students

1:22:201:22:22

at the Actors Studio drama school, of which I am the founding dean,

1:22:221:22:25

can be expressed in seven syllables.

1:22:251:22:27

I think Lisa possessed it in great abundance.

1:22:271:22:30

P-A-S-S-I-O-N.

1:22:321:22:39

-My hat's off to you for that. I'll tell you that.

-Thank you, sir.

1:22:401:22:43

-So what did you just say?

-Passion.

-Passion.

1:22:481:22:52

I will fight to the death to stay here,

1:22:521:22:54

-and I'm not kidding you.

-And so will I.

1:22:541:22:57

If you were me, what would you do?

1:22:571:22:59

First of all, thank God I'm not you -

1:23:001:23:04

with two exceptions.

1:23:041:23:05

I'm a pilot. I'd like your airplane.

1:23:051:23:07

And I'm in television. I'd like some of your ratings.

1:23:071:23:09

But apart from that, I think some of what's being said is important

1:23:091:23:13

and it's emotional, but it may not be the most pertinent thing here.

1:23:131:23:17

But whose fault is that, James, of these three?

1:23:171:23:20

-I have no idea.

-It's not Dayana's fault.

1:23:201:23:23

I mean, Dayana's like...

1:23:231:23:24

I think Lisa's mistake was perhaps bringing in Dayana,

1:23:241:23:26

who basically did what we basically told her to do

1:23:261:23:29

at the beginning of the task, which is look beautiful on a horse, so...

1:23:291:23:32

You said that was something...

1:23:321:23:33

Lisa should have actually brought someone who was an advocate.

1:23:331:23:36

Perhaps Aubrey should have been here.

1:23:361:23:38

-She would never do that.

-I actually would.

1:23:381:23:40

Victoria, don't presume to talk for me.

1:23:401:23:42

Even against...

1:23:421:23:43

Sadly, Dayana probably shouldn't be here.

1:23:431:23:45

She was underutilised, but I would have loved to hear,

1:23:451:23:47

"I can do this for you," instead of, "What can I do?"

1:23:471:23:51

-Honey, I said...

-Wait...no.

1:23:511:23:52

You have to bring up to me what your talent is, and I will say, "You can do that."

1:23:521:23:55

Lisa, you've got to understand on the table, when we were brainstorming,

1:23:551:23:58

most of the team started saying,

1:23:581:24:01

all of those things, I said.

1:24:011:24:04

-So now you're not allowed to tell me...

-I know.

1:24:041:24:06

..that you're telling me that I don't have anything else to give.

1:24:061:24:09

Dayana, that's why...

1:24:091:24:10

I was just sticking up for that you did not deserve to be fired

1:24:101:24:14

because you did not do...

1:24:141:24:15

-Dayana, let me ask you a question.

-..anything exceedingly wrong other than explain your talents.

1:24:151:24:19

-Hold it, Lisa.

-I'm sorry, sir. I'm sorry.

1:24:191:24:22

Let me ask you a question, Dayana.

1:24:221:24:24

Who do you think has more talent between these two women?

1:24:241:24:26

DAYANA SIGHS

1:24:261:24:29

Talking about two strong women, two very emotional women.

1:24:291:24:33

Going forward, who would you rather see on the team?

1:24:331:24:37

I think Lisa has been shown more and she has stepped up more,

1:24:441:24:48

and she has been trying to be here more than Victoria.

1:24:481:24:53

And you think she has more energy?

1:24:561:24:57

She has more energy.

1:25:001:25:01

I think she's got amazing energy.

1:25:041:25:06

Yeah.

1:25:061:25:07

The way I look at it,

1:25:071:25:09

and it's a very, very complex, difficult situation for me,

1:25:091:25:12

because I like all three of you very much.

1:25:121:25:14

But Dayana said that Lisa is the harder worker.

1:25:141:25:19

And I think you have confirmed that.

1:25:191:25:21

Victoria, you were late with many of the signals

1:25:221:25:25

and many of the events, and it did probably cause the show

1:25:251:25:29

not to go on very smoothly.

1:25:291:25:31

-Would you agree with that?

-Yes, sir, I would.

1:25:311:25:34

And the thing I'm most concerned about is

1:25:341:25:37

that there's no question in my mind

1:25:371:25:39

that you said you were thinking about quitting, Victoria,

1:25:391:25:42

which I hate, because I hate even the thought of quitting.

1:25:421:25:45

-I'm not a quitter.

-You thought about it.

1:25:451:25:46

You didn't quit. You're never going to quit. But you did think about it.

1:25:461:25:49

And when you add everything all up,

1:25:491:25:52

Victoria, you're fired.

1:25:521:25:53

All right, go ahead. Thank you.

1:25:591:26:01

-Thank you, sir.

-Thank you.

1:26:011:26:03

Bye, Victoria.

1:26:181:26:20

Give me a hug.

1:26:201:26:21

Wow, that was very tough.

1:26:371:26:39

I do not envy you.

1:26:391:26:41

What I just witnessed in that boardroom terribly shocked me.

1:27:151:27:20

To make me take full responsibility for my team losing

1:27:201:27:23

was such a laugh, because I had absolutely no task.

1:27:231:27:28

What Lisa said in there was absolute, abject lies.

1:27:301:27:34

So... But you know what?

1:27:341:27:36

My attitude is Lisa has to live with that, not me.

1:27:361:27:38

She may have succeeded now, but it will come back to haunt her.
