0:00:02 > 0:00:04Previously on The Celebrity Apprentice,
0:00:04 > 0:00:07after boardroom fireworks between Aubrey O'Day and Arsenio Hall...
0:00:07 > 0:00:10She can't say anything that is not selfish.
0:00:10 > 0:00:11..Arsenio tried to make amends.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13No desire to hurt you.
0:00:13 > 0:00:17After the extent that Arsenio Hall went to to trash my name,
0:00:17 > 0:00:19do I really like him? No.
0:00:19 > 0:00:23Tasked with producing a commercial for Entertainment.com,
0:00:23 > 0:00:26the celebrities tested their skills behind the camera.
0:00:26 > 0:00:27Action.
0:00:27 > 0:00:30Lisa Lampanelli gave grudging respect to project manager
0:00:30 > 0:00:32Dayana Mendoza...
0:00:32 > 0:00:35- LISA:- Don't you think they're cute? - So cute.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38I think Dayana is less annoying when she is in charge.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41..and shifted her frustration on to Lou Ferrigno.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43- Two of these, four by seven. - No, two of these...
0:00:43 > 0:00:45'I get it, you are strong.'
0:00:45 > 0:00:47What else have you got, dude?
0:00:47 > 0:00:51While on Team Unanimous, Clay and Arsenio's bond grew stronger.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53- Oh,- BLEEP!- I got my- BLEEP- stuck.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Arsenio and I have become very good friends.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58'We just really worked well together.'
0:00:58 > 0:01:02The next day, the teams screened their commercials for the executive.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05- AUBREY:- 'We can do it any time, anyway, anywhere.'
0:01:05 > 0:01:06ZIPPER UNZIPS
0:01:06 > 0:01:09'If you are not doing anything, I was thinking maybe we could...'
0:01:09 > 0:01:11'I would love to.'
0:01:11 > 0:01:13In the boardroom, Lou's temper flared...
0:01:13 > 0:01:15Lisa is lucky not to be a man tonight
0:01:15 > 0:01:17because I would throw her right through that wall.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19..and Ivanka called out Aubrey.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22You are very polarising in a certain way and I think that is the
0:01:22 > 0:01:25type of thing that really alienates the rest of your team.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28When the results were announced, Team Unanimous took the win...
0:01:28 > 0:01:31Teresa, they liked yours more.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Oh.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36..leaving Dayana and Lisa united against Lou.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38He was never speaking up we were brainstorming,
0:01:38 > 0:01:41- he was just not creating. - I would fire Lou.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43And Mr Trump agreed.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Everybody on your team has said, you really didn't work.
0:01:46 > 0:01:47Lou, you are fired.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57Their boardroom is taking long.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59- You think?- You kidding me? Lisa is chewing him up.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01Lou will punch her right in the face.
0:02:01 > 0:02:02No, he won't. No, he won't.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04- He will throw her through the wall. - No, he won't.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09- Woo!- Wow.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12- That means... Yes.- We did it.
0:02:12 > 0:02:13- Good riddance.- "We did it"?
0:02:13 > 0:02:16You act like you've had some accomplishment of some kind.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19- Well, we did.- Yeah, but he's still a person.- Oh, Clay, you know what?
0:02:19 > 0:02:22- The little tactics you've been pulling this whole- BLEEP- time.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24- Don't even start with me. - Oh, God. You are right.
0:02:24 > 0:02:25I won't start with you.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27Great. I would keep it shut.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29- 'Clay made one of his - BLEEP- comments'
0:02:29 > 0:02:32and Lisa snapped on him.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36'And I love it because I can't stand Clay. She is the first person'
0:02:36 > 0:02:39here that's been able to shut Clay Aiken up.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42- So, Lou really wanted to be in this one?- No.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44Well, he never once mentioned it to us.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46He never once brought up to me anything about him
0:02:46 > 0:02:48being offended at language, anything like that.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51And he goes at it just joking around, but then in there,
0:02:51 > 0:02:52suddenly, he is Sally Sensitive with...
0:02:52 > 0:02:55- SOUTHERN AMERICAN ACCENT:- "Oh, I've never heard a curse word
0:02:55 > 0:02:57"in my life, Miss...Miss Daisy."
0:02:57 > 0:02:59'When it comes to Lisa's attitude, I'm not sure if it's'
0:02:59 > 0:03:02a result of having to go through so many losses
0:03:02 > 0:03:04or if so many losses are a result
0:03:04 > 0:03:07'of Lisa's attitude not being so great.'
0:03:07 > 0:03:11Maybe tomorrow, he will, like, let us have one of you guys.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13Oh, yeah. We are three now.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16- An unbalanced number now. - Because now it's three and five.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18'I'm hoping we switch it up and I'm really hoping'
0:03:18 > 0:03:19that Clay and Arsenio
0:03:19 > 0:03:21get put on different teams because
0:03:21 > 0:03:24they have a relationship.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26'Lord knows that Mr Trump split Lisa and I up. So, why not'
0:03:26 > 0:03:29split the two of them up and see how they hang without each other?
0:03:35 > 0:03:38# Money, money, money, money
0:03:39 > 0:03:40# Money!
0:03:40 > 0:03:43# Money, money, money, money
0:03:43 > 0:03:45# Money!
0:03:45 > 0:03:48# Some people got to have it
0:03:48 > 0:03:50# Ye-ah
0:03:50 > 0:03:53# Some people really need it
0:03:53 > 0:03:55# Hey, listen to me, y'all
0:03:55 > 0:03:57# Do things, do things, do things
0:03:57 > 0:03:59# Bad things with it
0:04:02 > 0:04:04# Dollar bills, y'all Come on
0:04:04 > 0:04:08# That mean, oh, mean
0:04:08 > 0:04:10# Mean green
0:04:10 > 0:04:13# Almighty dollar
0:04:13 > 0:04:17# You know that money...
0:04:17 > 0:04:22# Give me a nickel Brother, can you spare a dime?
0:04:22 > 0:04:27# Money can drive some people out of their minds
0:04:27 > 0:04:29# For the love of money
0:04:29 > 0:04:30# No good, no good
0:04:30 > 0:04:32# Money!
0:04:32 > 0:04:35# Money, money, money, money
0:04:35 > 0:04:36# Money! #
0:04:45 > 0:04:46- BOTH:- Hi!
0:04:47 > 0:04:49- How are you?- Good to see you.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53I won my task and the charity I'm playing for is NephCure Foundation.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56'NephCure is a charity that funds research
0:04:56 > 0:04:59'and educational programmes for incurable kidney disease.'
0:04:59 > 0:05:03Today, I'm meeting a very special little boy that I'm fighting for.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06His name is Matthew. How are you feeling? Good?
0:05:06 > 0:05:10Well, it's very hard. I get a lot of blood tests.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13I take a lot of pills. Sometimes it's hard to sleep.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16You know, you are a brave little boy for what you are doing
0:05:16 > 0:05:18and just be strong for Mummy and Daddy.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20I'm a mum of four
0:05:20 > 0:05:22and I couldn't imagine anything happening to one of my daughters.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25'Just imagining any child taking 15 pills a day,
0:05:25 > 0:05:27'it just breaks your heart.'
0:05:27 > 0:05:29I've been doing Celebrity Apprentice
0:05:29 > 0:05:32and I have been working really hard and guess for who.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34For you. Yeah.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37- And guess what.- What?- I won.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40- And you want to open it?- Yeah, I do.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Take a look in there and see what that says.
0:05:43 > 0:05:48Wow! That's 60,000 made out to the NephCure Foundation.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50'My son Matthew has a very rare kidney disease'
0:05:50 > 0:05:52called FSGS.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55FSGS has no cure. FSGS destroys
0:05:55 > 0:05:57'the body from the inside out.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59'And we're very lucky to have Teresa on our team.
0:05:59 > 0:06:00'Because this reality,
0:06:00 > 0:06:03'this miracle in finding a cure is now a true possibility.'
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Thank you for helping me save my kidneys.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08You're welcome.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19Good morning. How are you?
0:06:31 > 0:06:33- Good morning. ALL:- Morning, sir.
0:06:33 > 0:06:38We are standing in one of the great, great toy stores of the world.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40The legendary FAO Schwarz.
0:06:40 > 0:06:46FAO Schwarz is celebrating its 150th anniversary this year.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50I used to come here when I was very little with my father.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Great store.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56Now, we all hear that puppets are for kids,
0:06:56 > 0:07:00but today, we are going to be thinking about puppets for adults.
0:07:00 > 0:07:05Standing next to me is Brian Henson, the son of a real legend
0:07:05 > 0:07:08and a great guy, who I met, Jim Henson.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11A wonderful family, he is a wonderful man
0:07:11 > 0:07:13and he has got the same imagination.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Brian, tell them about the task.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19We perform a show called Stuffed And Unstrung, which is
0:07:19 > 0:07:23a live improv puppet show that is for adults.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26So, your task this week is going to be
0:07:26 > 0:07:30that you have to build two original Miskreant Puppet characters,
0:07:30 > 0:07:33working with our builders at the Jim Henson's Creature Shop.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37And then you will have to perform those puppets in front of a live
0:07:37 > 0:07:41audience, working with cast members from Stuffed And Unstrung.
0:07:41 > 0:07:46OK. My boardroom advisers will be Ivanka and Eric Trump.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49Good advisers. I really like them a lot, all right?
0:07:49 > 0:07:53Now, this task requires four people on each team.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56Now, your team, Lisa, is smaller, their team is larger.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58You know what that means.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00We're going to put somebody onto your team.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Who would you like... Dayana, who would you like of this team
0:08:02 > 0:08:04to be on your team?
0:08:06 > 0:08:10- Clay.- Who'd you like, Lisa? - Aubrey.- Good.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12- Who'd you like, Penn?- Um...
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Clay or Paul or Arsenio or Aubrey...
0:08:15 > 0:08:17LAUGHTER
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Well, I had already made a decision.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22I was just curious as to who you'd like. Clay, go.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25'We get Clay. I'm like,'
0:08:25 > 0:08:27- "He is a- BLEEP- sometimes."
0:08:27 > 0:08:28'OK, let's see.'
0:08:28 > 0:08:31Let's see if our little tiff from the other day is a problem.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33How do you feel about this, Clay?
0:08:33 > 0:08:35I... Listen, these three folks are very strong.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37And so, I think we're going to do a great job.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39You have four great people. All right?
0:08:39 > 0:08:42Eric, how will they be judged?
0:08:42 > 0:08:45Tomorrow, Brian and Patrick Bristow, co-creator
0:08:45 > 0:08:47and director of Stuffed And Unstrung,
0:08:47 > 0:08:48will judge your live performance
0:08:48 > 0:08:50and judge you on the following criteria -
0:08:50 > 0:08:54puppet design, the overall quality of your puppeteering
0:08:54 > 0:08:57and improv and your total live performance.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59All right. Pick a project manager. Go ahead.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01I'd like to do it. Yeah.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05- Do you mind if... - I don't care. I don't care.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Lisa, who's your project manager?
0:09:10 > 0:09:11- I am, sir.- Oh, Lisa.- Yeah.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13'It's really important that I step up for this one'
0:09:13 > 0:09:16because I am one of the only people who hasn't won a task
0:09:16 > 0:09:19'and gotten money for their charity. And I'm like, "Well, I'm going to'
0:09:19 > 0:09:22- "have to start writing checks if this- BLEEP- doesn't stop."
0:09:22 > 0:09:25- Go ahead.- Senior.- Paul.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27You're not a big puppeteer, I know that.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31- I'm going to be. - LAUGHTER
0:09:31 > 0:09:33'I just took it on the fly because nobody else
0:09:33 > 0:09:35'really wanted to take it.'
0:09:35 > 0:09:37It's not my thing at all, you know,
0:09:37 > 0:09:38'but it's kind of improv,
0:09:38 > 0:09:41'which in essence, you're not supposed to know what you're doing.'
0:09:41 > 0:09:44So, Paul, you and Lisa are project managers.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47The project manager of the winning team
0:09:47 > 0:09:51receives 20,000 for his or her charity.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54The losing team, somebody will be fired.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56Good luck. Do well. Thank you.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07LISA: Are you good with improv? Are you quick on your feet?
0:10:07 > 0:10:09I'm quick for the most part. I do know how to puppet, though.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13- Hand puppet, I did in church for years.- Really? Really?
0:10:13 > 0:10:16Everybody who does puppets did them in church.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18'I think that when I was on Unanimous, I had built'
0:10:18 > 0:10:20a pretty good relationship with Arsenio
0:10:20 > 0:10:22and he and I work well together.
0:10:22 > 0:10:23'I'm still new to Team Forte.
0:10:23 > 0:10:28'I don't know how people operate and hopefully, we will all get along.'
0:10:28 > 0:10:31Lisa, I want to tell you. I've done improv for a year and a half.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35I know, but I've done it for 22 years.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38I've done improv, too, maybe not as much as you guys, of course, but...
0:10:38 > 0:10:40I'm not saying that you haven't cos I'm... I mean...
0:10:40 > 0:10:44- I know, I know. - But sorry, one second.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47But my idea with it was also that we could do one character,
0:10:47 > 0:10:50which is the Latina, and I can do it.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52No, no, I know. I know.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55Let's just get a bunch of ideas together and see what's the best.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58It's kind of insulting that Dayana kind of presumes
0:10:58 > 0:11:00that she can do what we can do.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03'My concerns are that Dayana will bitch and moan'
0:11:03 > 0:11:05and I'll get in a big fight with her.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07Fingers crossed, it won't happen.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10We just may have a whole task without fighting.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12- Why don't we do that? - I'm all in favour of that.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15I say a task, too, without fighting here or in the boardroom
0:11:15 > 0:11:18- cos you weren't able to pull that off.- Nobody can ever pull that off.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Like, the worst thing you could do is make a green frog
0:11:26 > 0:11:28- when it comes to originality. - Right, right.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30- So, it has to be something... - Different.- Far and above.- Yeah.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33What about one that looks like you and one that looks like you?
0:11:33 > 0:11:36Like, with a long gown.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38You have the puppet-type look.
0:11:38 > 0:11:42Yeah, with the red hair. And you being...
0:11:43 > 0:11:45- ..make you black and her white and...- Yeah...
0:11:45 > 0:11:49- We get it, Teresa.- Jungle fever.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52- "You know, like, you black..." - LAUGHTER
0:11:52 > 0:11:55"You know, and she white, you know?"
0:11:55 > 0:11:58You're getting real creative up in here(!) Yeah, yeah.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00The whole jungle fever.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04'We've lost Clay and nobody in this group minus maybe Arsenio Hall
0:12:04 > 0:12:07'has experience being comedic performers'
0:12:07 > 0:12:10and I'm not even allowed to step up and take over
0:12:10 > 0:12:12because everyone else is just going
0:12:12 > 0:12:15- to look at me like I'm a- BLEEP- again.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18What's probably going to happen is we have to stay true
0:12:18 > 0:12:20to our character and then we're going to have the audience
0:12:20 > 0:12:24give us the location and problem that we have to get through.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28So, I have to start thinking about the smartest way to
0:12:28 > 0:12:31remain in this competition because my end goal is to be standing
0:12:31 > 0:12:33here at the end. And I won't be here at the end
0:12:33 > 0:12:36if I'm not a team player because that's really the only
0:12:36 > 0:12:38criticism anyone's had of me up to this point.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51Open Sesame.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55- Oh, look how cute. - Oh, my gosh!
0:12:55 > 0:12:56Look at her. See?
0:12:56 > 0:12:59The task this week is to create two original puppets...
0:12:59 > 0:13:01You think this one looks like Lisa? "Hi, Arsenio."
0:13:01 > 0:13:03'..and to perform with Henson's'
0:13:03 > 0:13:05Alternative improvisational group.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08- Look at this one.- You would get tired with that, wouldn't you?
0:13:08 > 0:13:09He is like Lou.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12- AS LOU:- "I can understand why Lisa doesn't like me."
0:13:15 > 0:13:17WHISPERS: Back's killing me.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19'My back went out this morning for some reason or other.'
0:13:19 > 0:13:21I didn't really do anything,
0:13:21 > 0:13:23but that happens occasionally.
0:13:23 > 0:13:27- I just hope my back is better.- Oh, yeah.- What happened to your back?
0:13:27 > 0:13:30It just goes out, you know?
0:13:30 > 0:13:31For no reason at all, sometimes.
0:13:31 > 0:13:35'I'm clearly worried about this. I am the project manager'
0:13:35 > 0:13:36and it's probably not good timing.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38Paul, I'm going to pull up the website
0:13:38 > 0:13:40for the Stuffed And Unstrung.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42ON LAPTOP: 'So, these bunnies are bad bunnies.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45'They're bad to the bone. What are the bad bunnies doing today
0:13:45 > 0:13:48- 'that is so terribly bad? - Home-ec class.
0:13:48 > 0:13:49'Home-ec class?
0:13:49 > 0:13:53'Hey, in the lollipop mix, instead of sugar, I put in salt.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55'That's evil.'
0:13:55 > 0:13:58So, these are audience members, he's the host and he is having
0:13:58 > 0:14:01the two actors here and that's what you see on the screen.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03You can either have Teresa be one of the actors
0:14:03 > 0:14:06or Teresa be the host.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09'Aubrey and I have locked horns before, but today, I wish'
0:14:09 > 0:14:13I could make a trophy and give it to Aubrey. She's come...so far.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15I know that I cannot be a puppet.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17I'll be like, "Duh..."
0:14:17 > 0:14:19'She allowed Paul to be the leader.'
0:14:19 > 0:14:22When she was needed, she stepped in and added.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25- Well, listen, Arsenio.- OK. - We need a sharp comedic mind
0:14:25 > 0:14:27- that can really...- With the puppet? - ..get the jokes going...
0:14:27 > 0:14:30- OK.- ..in the improvisation.- OK.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33The host is also important because that's the one who's leading us
0:14:33 > 0:14:35through, so it's like... Cos you and I know improv the best
0:14:35 > 0:14:39out of everyone here. So, we have to utilize where we would both best be.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41'Everybody knows she is incredibly smart
0:14:41 > 0:14:44'and incredibly creative and she's become'
0:14:44 > 0:14:47a really great TEAM player.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49And that's all I ever wanted from her.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52- I...I...- I think we need you with that mic.- Yeah.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55- So, you're the puppet.- Mm-hm.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57She's the puppet.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00OK, she's the host and I'll just coordinate everything,
0:15:00 > 0:15:02make sure everything is cool.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04So, we'll be all right.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07- I just want everybody to know that I took this job unknowingly...- Yeah.
0:15:07 > 0:15:11..without a clue. And I'm fine with that, you know what I mean?
0:15:11 > 0:15:13If... You know, I depend on you guys.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16I want to make sure that I feel comfortable with everything,
0:15:16 > 0:15:19- but I need a lot of feedback. - Right.- We'll get there.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23- Hi, guys. ALL:- Hi. - Hey, how are you guys?
0:15:23 > 0:15:25- How are you, sir? Good to see you, man.- So good to see you again.
0:15:25 > 0:15:29Brian Henson and Patrick come in to our war room and they start
0:15:29 > 0:15:31to inform us on the task,
0:15:31 > 0:15:34the world of puppets and the Henson way.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38Can we...kind of direct the audience to...
0:15:38 > 0:15:42Like, if we rehearse certain things to try and bring them into that?
0:15:42 > 0:15:45Safety is not something that is good in improv.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48Risk and being on the edge and trusting
0:15:48 > 0:15:52that you can fly by the seat of your pants and find something,
0:15:52 > 0:15:53that's a way to approach it.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Just find that place in you
0:15:55 > 0:15:59where you're not scared of looking ridiculous...
0:15:59 > 0:16:01'They said that the funniest things are'
0:16:01 > 0:16:03when you don't know...what you're even talking about
0:16:03 > 0:16:07and it just comes out of your mouth. So, I was like, "Oh, I like that."
0:16:07 > 0:16:11When you start talking without knowing what you're going to say, you are in the zone.
0:16:11 > 0:16:12The improv zone.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17Have you found that creating broader characters
0:16:17 > 0:16:21and puppets is better than creating very specific puppets?
0:16:21 > 0:16:24Cos they all seem, other than this rocker type of ape,
0:16:24 > 0:16:25they're all pretty general.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27You might want to make the characters general
0:16:27 > 0:16:30because they have to have radically different personalities.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32'Brian and Patrick gave us the direction'
0:16:32 > 0:16:34that broader characters would play a lot more roles
0:16:34 > 0:16:37and that those would be probably a little bit easier to use.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39You know, we want to tend towards more, obviously,
0:16:39 > 0:16:42not squeaky clean, but we don't want to offend anybody
0:16:42 > 0:16:45to go too blue. So, do you think that...?
0:16:45 > 0:16:48If you could take a choice where you're indicating a naughty
0:16:48 > 0:16:50thought, but you're not actually saying it,
0:16:50 > 0:16:55that's a classier choice and yet this is an adult show, so it's...
0:16:55 > 0:16:56A fine line there.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58I'm not that worried about being inappropriate because
0:16:58 > 0:17:00I know what inappropriate is.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02'I do inappropriate for a living, so I know the line'
0:17:02 > 0:17:04that these people want.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06How do you adjust for...
0:17:06 > 0:17:09wildly different heights on your puppeteers?
0:17:09 > 0:17:12That's a hard one cos you... How tall are you?
0:17:12 > 0:17:14- 6'7".- 6'7"!
0:17:14 > 0:17:16Usually come with a puppeteers average out at about 5'11".
0:17:16 > 0:17:19Maybe, we'll have to put me into a host.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21'We have Sasquatch on our team with tonnes of talent'
0:17:21 > 0:17:24and he can't use it with a puppet.
0:17:24 > 0:17:25Cool. Thank you very much.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27'But I've seen his show in Vegas
0:17:27 > 0:17:29'and he totally talks to the audience,'
0:17:29 > 0:17:30he is a great host.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33- DAYANA:- Have you decided already who you want to be puppeteering?
0:17:33 > 0:17:36Yeah, I think we're going to have to do it me and him.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39You're going to have to do host cos you're way too tall.
0:17:39 > 0:17:40And you'd like me to be...?
0:17:41 > 0:17:43'Dayana wants to be a part of the performance,
0:17:43 > 0:17:46'but it's not a chance I'm going to take. Are you kidding me?'
0:17:46 > 0:17:49'I've been doing comedy for over 21, 22 years.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52'Penn's been doing it for the last 75'
0:17:52 > 0:17:55and Dayana is not easily understood.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57And that's a shame, but I'm sorry.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00'It's not about always being in front of the camera.'
0:18:00 > 0:18:02You should start with which voices you feel you can do.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05Like, what voices you feel you could do?
0:18:05 > 0:18:08I want hear your Spanish chick. I want to hear it.
0:18:08 > 0:18:13EXAGGERATED ACCENT: Ay, papi. Ay, papi. Ay, Chihuahua.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16- That's Puerto Rican. - It has to be very generic.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18You know, this is not really how Latin people talk,
0:18:18 > 0:18:20but she does play with her pearls.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26'It's disrespectful. It's unprofessional,
0:18:26 > 0:18:29'but I just sat there waiting for my task.'
0:18:30 > 0:18:31That never came.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33So far, I don't have any specific task
0:18:33 > 0:18:36and I'd like to be involved and I just don't want to be sitting...
0:18:39 > 0:18:42'But you're the project manager, so I'll just do my job.'
0:18:42 > 0:18:44Just tell me that you don't want to give me anything.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46Puppet design is a big deal.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48I really wanted to participate.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51Participating, as we learned in the first task, isn't
0:18:51 > 0:18:53always about being on stage.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55'Lisa is not giving me anything, so she can go to'
0:18:55 > 0:18:57the boardroom and say, "Oh, she's useless.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00"She has no ideas. She doesn't know anything.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02- FAUX CRIES:- "Mr Trump..."
0:19:02 > 0:19:05- FAUX CRIES:- "I do everything."
0:19:06 > 0:19:07'Whatever.'
0:19:14 > 0:19:18- How you doing? Teresa.- Hi, guys. - Aubrey.- Hi, nice to meet you.
0:19:18 > 0:19:19We headed down to the workshop
0:19:19 > 0:19:21where you actually learn
0:19:21 > 0:19:22how to make puppets.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24You want to dive in and take a look at the stuff we have
0:19:24 > 0:19:26just to get inspired?
0:19:26 > 0:19:27'So, we've got two puppets.
0:19:27 > 0:19:32'One large, yellow hand puppet. One smaller, periwinkle-coloured'
0:19:32 > 0:19:33rod puppet.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36'It's just the shell of a puppet. No eyes, no mouth,'
0:19:36 > 0:19:38no genitalia. Nothing.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40You guys, you could even do like a mohawk or anything.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43You can literally, like, you can pick this out, cut it.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46Oh, yeah, that's an interesting... A bright colour mohawk.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48'The mohawk inspired Arsenio'
0:19:48 > 0:19:51and you know, I could totally see why he is bald.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Oh, that would be a cute mo, so let's keep that.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56Let's lock in on that. OK. Orange mohawk.
0:19:56 > 0:19:57'I think having puppets that you love'
0:19:57 > 0:20:00is really important because you are going to be,
0:20:00 > 0:20:03actually, playing the puppeteer with your puppet.
0:20:03 > 0:20:07'So, designing my puppet is, you know, a reflection of me.'
0:20:07 > 0:20:10I could give her boobs and make it a low-cut dress.
0:20:10 > 0:20:11That... I...
0:20:11 > 0:20:14Boobs on a puppet? Everything is better with boobs.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16- Let's find the colour of the dress.- OK.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22- Leave yourself...- A little...- a little on the side.- For the sewing.
0:20:22 > 0:20:23Yes, exactly.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28- My grandma taught me. - See, you already know.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31- PENN:- 'Dayana and I are making puppets.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34'The rod puppet was done almost entirely by Day with some
0:20:34 > 0:20:35'help from Lisa'
0:20:35 > 0:20:38and the live hand puppet was done mostly by me
0:20:38 > 0:20:40with some help from Clay.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42- How does he look to you? - I don't like the hair.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45You don't like the hair? He's got a soul patch.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47- Is he like a punk rocker? - A little bit, yeah.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50No.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52'We need to make the broadest puppets.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54'The ones that could be any type of voice'
0:20:54 > 0:20:56just in case whatever happens during the show.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59Dayana, what I'm going to do is start working with Clay
0:20:59 > 0:21:01- and the instructors on that stuff... - Go, yes.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05- So, can you make her pretty and expressive and gorgeous?- Yes.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08I give the orders about how my puppet should look,
0:21:08 > 0:21:12- 'so I'll let Dayana cut out the clothes and paste- BLEEP- on.'
0:21:12 > 0:21:16That's something that could be ocupado, por favor.
0:21:29 > 0:21:30He is cool.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33So, what's your guy's name? Perry?
0:21:33 > 0:21:37- I was calling him Perry Winkle. - Is that a rocker type name?
0:21:37 > 0:21:40- It's a colour. It's his colour. - I've got to name mine, too.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43Paul, what do you want to name her?
0:21:43 > 0:21:45You.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49Goldilocks? No, we have Goldilocks. Um...
0:21:50 > 0:21:53- What should we name mine? - What's the personality of your girl?
0:21:53 > 0:21:56Fabulous, over-the-top, glamorous.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00'It seemed to me like Teresa took a long time to figure out'
0:22:00 > 0:22:01the name for her puppet.
0:22:01 > 0:22:05Like, I like Beyonce. Like, that's a different name. Rihanna.
0:22:05 > 0:22:09That's a different name. We have to come up with a different name.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11'It was kind of like you wanted to shake her little bit and say,'
0:22:11 > 0:22:14"OK, it is just a puppet. Give it a name."
0:22:14 > 0:22:16- See... - Until you come up with another name,
0:22:16 > 0:22:19I'm going to call this girl Fabulina, OK?
0:22:19 > 0:22:22- SHE GASPS - Fabalina.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24'I wanted the perfect name for my puppet
0:22:24 > 0:22:26'and one of my cookbooks is Fabulicious.'
0:22:26 > 0:22:27Matter of fact, my third book
0:22:27 > 0:22:29Fabulicious! - Fast and Fit comes out in May.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31- I like Fabalina.- Fa-ba-li-na?
0:22:31 > 0:22:33Yeah. Thank you, honey.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35All right so, help me, guys.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38- Do you like this?- Yeah. - OK, so this is the dress?
0:22:38 > 0:22:41- Yes.- Don't let it go too crazy, Aubrey.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44'Basically, Teresa was inspired by everything tacky'
0:22:44 > 0:22:45on the table.
0:22:45 > 0:22:46If that's what you feel, Teresa,
0:22:46 > 0:22:49you're the one that has to use her and love her, you know?
0:22:49 > 0:22:51'Paul is our project manager,'
0:22:51 > 0:22:55but he is having an extra lazy attitude towards
0:22:55 > 0:22:57'where we want to go with these puppets
0:22:57 > 0:23:00'that Arsenio and Teresa are playing.'
0:23:00 > 0:23:01- Do you like that, Paul?- Awesome.
0:23:01 > 0:23:05'And I'm looking at our rocker and her hot mess, crazy Jersey lady
0:23:05 > 0:23:07'and they are not versatile.'
0:23:07 > 0:23:10- I love it! Do you like it?- I do.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12'But it's hard when you have been told,'
0:23:12 > 0:23:15"Simmer down and mind your place
0:23:15 > 0:23:17"and let other people do their jobs."
0:23:17 > 0:23:19- Do like that?- Yeah.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22'So, I'm nervous to voice any dissent because
0:23:22 > 0:23:24'I saw how my team attacked me in the last boardroom.'
0:23:24 > 0:23:26It's so fabulous.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33- I'm Clay.- I know. Nice to meet you, Clay.- What is your name?- Leslie.
0:23:33 > 0:23:34Hey, Leslie.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36'The puppeteers and the improv folks show up to teach us
0:23:36 > 0:23:38'a little bit about some'
0:23:38 > 0:23:39of the basics of improv.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43Improvisation is just everyday life with fake circumstances.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45Just think of it that way. It's not coming up with great ideas,
0:23:45 > 0:23:48it's not being a genius or having a quick line.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50It's just reacting to what fake circumstances you're given.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52'So, we figured out improvising'
0:23:52 > 0:23:55and then from that point, we started learning some of the basics
0:23:55 > 0:23:57of puppeteering, using generic puppets.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59Go ahead and bring your puppet up.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01Just try to look directly at the camera.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05Directly, so both eyes look like they're looking right down
0:24:05 > 0:24:06the barrel of the lens.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09'So, it takes a lot of practice just getting those puppets facing
0:24:09 > 0:24:10'the right direction.'
0:24:10 > 0:24:13Now, we are going to try looking over to our right.
0:24:13 > 0:24:17And then over to our left. And then try to go right back to camera.
0:24:18 > 0:24:19'Lisa and I have a nice rhythm going.'
0:24:19 > 0:24:21- Can you push forward, too?- Yeah.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23That's exactly, exactly it.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26- Push forward just a little bit... - Church.- Church.- Church.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Church puppeteer.
0:24:28 > 0:24:29Lisa, I know can be very feisty.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31'She has a lot of piss and vinegar in her,
0:24:31 > 0:24:34'but I don't really necessarily worry about it being directed at me
0:24:34 > 0:24:36'and I think we work together really well.'
0:24:36 > 0:24:39There you go. That's cute.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42HE BELCHES LAUGHTER
0:24:43 > 0:24:46Guys, after we are done doing this for a little bit longer,
0:24:46 > 0:24:49- you guys still have to learn how to work the puppets.- Mm-hm.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51I mean, that's going to take a minute.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54Understanding improv, especially since you haven't done it,
0:24:54 > 0:24:56you're going to want to really, you know?
0:24:56 > 0:24:58'We are sitting here wasting time creating these puppets.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01'It's really a job that should be delegated to one person,
0:25:01 > 0:25:03'but instead of doing that, Paul is sitting back,
0:25:03 > 0:25:05'wasting all kinds of time.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07'And at this point, we really need to move'
0:25:07 > 0:25:10toward working with our actual professionals
0:25:10 > 0:25:13and learning how to manipulate and manoeuvre the puppets. As well
0:25:13 > 0:25:17as me being able to work with the coach on how to be a great host.
0:25:17 > 0:25:21Hey, Paul, at some point, we are talking about that meeting...
0:25:21 > 0:25:24- Aubrey?- Yeah. - When do you want to do that?- Soon.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26'I'm kind of letting Arsenio mould him
0:25:26 > 0:25:29'because he tends to respect and listen to Arsenio more.'
0:25:29 > 0:25:31Right?
0:25:31 > 0:25:33- All?- Yeah.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35You know me.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37'I mean, we are circling the drain right now.'
0:25:37 > 0:25:40Our project manager is not stepping up and taking control of this team.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48ALL GREET
0:25:48 > 0:25:50Nice to meet you.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53'We get back to the war room and our puppeteers, basically, have been
0:25:53 > 0:25:55'sitting around waiting for us'
0:25:55 > 0:25:59and I'm trying to get everyone to jump right into and start working.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02I'm going to be doing the puppetry technique,
0:26:02 > 0:26:04Colleen is going to take you through improv.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07- So, which one of you is hosting? - I am.- OK. What I can do is while you
0:26:07 > 0:26:10- three are learning the puppeteers. - Give me the rundown.- I can teach you
0:26:10 > 0:26:13- the rundown on the hosting stuff. - Got it.- Do you want to do that?
0:26:13 > 0:26:18So, every time you say a syllable of the word, you open the mouth.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20Every time you say...
0:26:20 > 0:26:23Every time you say a syllable of the mouth... Wait.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26'I did feel a little overwhelmed at first and nervous because'
0:26:26 > 0:26:27there was a lot to learn.
0:26:27 > 0:26:31You know, like, when you are talking with the puppet, you know?
0:26:31 > 0:26:33Now I learned just to go like this.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36Four, five, six, seven...
0:26:36 > 0:26:39Good, so seven has two syllables.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41So, for seven, you'd do se-ven.
0:26:41 > 0:26:42Right, se-ven.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46Seven.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48So, try that again. Let's raise you up a little higher.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51'Teresa is having a hard time, but hey, you know, she will try'
0:26:51 > 0:26:53anything and she'll give 100%
0:26:53 > 0:26:55and she's so damn cute, you know?
0:26:55 > 0:26:58Three, four, five, six, seven.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00- And do two syllables on seven.- Oh.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03- Seven. Se-ven.- Yeah, there you go.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05Let's do some nursery rhymes.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07What's a nursery rhyme you know?
0:27:07 > 0:27:12Um, Humpty Dumpty... No, let's see what else. Um...
0:27:12 > 0:27:14Little Miss Muffet, sat on her tuffet?
0:27:14 > 0:27:17- No. What else?- Another one.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23Jack fell down, broke his head.
0:27:23 > 0:27:27- Or crown.- And Jill ran after him.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30Well, I don't know if that was, you know,
0:27:30 > 0:27:34faithful to the original text, but the puppeteering was good.
0:27:34 > 0:27:35'And bless her heart,'
0:27:35 > 0:27:38she is learning even more than puppetry.
0:27:38 > 0:27:42- Five, six, seven... - Seven has two syllables.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44- Thank you.- Se-ven. Se-ven.
0:27:46 > 0:27:50So, the other thing about hosting is, watch it like you are a fan.
0:27:50 > 0:27:54If something goes bad and you end up just sort of having to black it out
0:27:54 > 0:27:55and it's sort of a disaster,
0:27:55 > 0:27:59if you come out of it laughing, it's still fun.
0:27:59 > 0:28:00'As far as the overall performance,'
0:28:00 > 0:28:03which is a third of what we are being judged on,
0:28:03 > 0:28:07that responsibility mainly lays on my shoulders.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09You want to keep up the pace of the show.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11If you get this incredible laugh, but it hasn't gone,
0:28:11 > 0:28:15like five, six minutes, like you feel like it should,
0:28:15 > 0:28:16- end on a high.- OK.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19'You never know what will happen once you get on that stage,'
0:28:19 > 0:28:23but I usually impress myself.
0:28:23 > 0:28:24'So, I'm not worried.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26'I think others probably should be.'
0:28:32 > 0:28:33- PENN:- I'm multitasking.
0:28:33 > 0:28:37I'm sewing horns on a monster and I'm contemplating suicide,
0:28:37 > 0:28:40so those two things are being done simultaneously.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44- She's doing great.- I'm doing good?
0:28:44 > 0:28:46Yeah, you are doing really well.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49- Thank you.- You can come work with us any time.- I know!
0:28:49 > 0:28:52I'm like watching it come to life like over there. It looks great.
0:28:52 > 0:28:53Thank you.
0:28:53 > 0:28:55'The Henson people said that Day's fabrication'
0:28:55 > 0:28:58of the puppet was so good that they would hire her.
0:28:58 > 0:29:01'I have gotten zero job offers.'
0:29:01 > 0:29:05- Here just add about a half an inch to your pattern here.- Straight?
0:29:05 > 0:29:08- Straight back. Yeah, just... Yeah.- OK.- Yeah, that's it.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11'I know Lisa says that she is useless,
0:29:11 > 0:29:13'but I don't trust what people'
0:29:13 > 0:29:15say in the boardroom as fact.
0:29:15 > 0:29:17SHE BLOWS KISSES
0:29:17 > 0:29:18Very nice.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21Let's look at our little puppets!
0:29:21 > 0:29:25- Oh!- Oh, the eyebrows are great. - He's cute.
0:29:25 > 0:29:27- The eyebrows are great. - Hey, Eric. What's up?
0:29:27 > 0:29:29Hey, guys, how are you? Wow. Look at this.
0:29:29 > 0:29:31- Could you die?- How you doing?
0:29:31 > 0:29:33- How is the team?- Really good.
0:29:33 > 0:29:36'Eric showed up and he was, you know,'
0:29:36 > 0:29:37interested in our progress.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39So, who is doing what?
0:29:39 > 0:29:42Penn and Dayana have been really overseeing the puppets.
0:29:42 > 0:29:43We gave them some ideas.
0:29:43 > 0:29:47And Penn hosts the show and Clay and I have been working with
0:29:47 > 0:29:50the improv people to try and figure out how to do puppets.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52- How is Dayana doing? - She...did this.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57'Lisa was talking to Eric, trying to convince Eric
0:29:57 > 0:30:00'that everything's fine, bla-bla-bla-bla-bla'
0:30:00 > 0:30:03bla-bla-bla-bla-bla. I was just trying
0:30:03 > 0:30:05to make sure that my job was fine.
0:30:05 > 0:30:07So, is this your first time ever making puppets, Dayana?
0:30:07 > 0:30:10- My first time ever making puppets, Eric.- That's great.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15While everybody seemed very happy in the room,
0:30:15 > 0:30:17the one person who stood out was Dayana. She was very quiet,
0:30:17 > 0:30:20she was really focused on exactly what she was doing,
0:30:20 > 0:30:23almost in an awkward-type way.
0:30:23 > 0:30:25Are you guys comfortable with the new teams? Clay?
0:30:25 > 0:30:28Listen, I think it's great, everybody here is a team player,
0:30:28 > 0:30:31- there's not a weak spot. - Dayana, do you feel the same way?
0:30:31 > 0:30:32Yes.
0:30:34 > 0:30:35Good.
0:30:35 > 0:30:38I wonder if it's kind of that tension between her and Lisa,
0:30:38 > 0:30:40really, manifesting itself
0:30:40 > 0:30:42and if she's just uncomfortable being on this team.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48When I want to cut off the scene, all I'm going to do is a hand up.
0:30:48 > 0:30:52It's usually going to be on a big laugh or on a great line
0:30:52 > 0:30:56or if it's just dead in the water and we need to move on,
0:30:56 > 0:30:57then we go, "Hi..."
0:30:57 > 0:31:00- Look who's here, what's up? - Hi, guys, how's it going?
0:31:00 > 0:31:01Hey, Paul, how's it going?
0:31:01 > 0:31:04PAUL LAUGHS Uh-oh. Defeat.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06Yeah. The agony.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09Paul has a tough back happening today.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11- Oh, seriously?- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13- But you're doing OK?- Yeah.
0:31:13 > 0:31:16It hampers this.
0:31:16 > 0:31:17Yeah.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20Well, are you going to be one of the puppeteers?
0:31:20 > 0:31:21No, they are.
0:31:21 > 0:31:24- I would... Yeah, that's a good move.- Yeah.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27'I feel bad for Paul, under the circumstances,'
0:31:27 > 0:31:29I think he's doing pretty well, but, definitely,
0:31:29 > 0:31:31I've seen his energy level higher.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33So, building something like this.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35- That's not too bad upstairs. - So the building part's fine?
0:31:35 > 0:31:39- Yeah, and she's very creative.- Yeah. - Aubrey is really surprisingly...
0:31:39 > 0:31:41That's been a very consistent theme, Aubrey,
0:31:41 > 0:31:43that you're the creative...
0:31:43 > 0:31:45See, Aubrey is now afraid to say anyth...
0:31:45 > 0:31:47Yeah, I'm not saying anything.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50Aubrey has obviously internalised the feedback of the group.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53I just hope that it doesn't mean that she's so quiet
0:31:53 > 0:31:55she doesn't contribute to the creative vision.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57So, I think she's got to strike that balance
0:31:57 > 0:32:00between being deferential to the project manager,
0:32:00 > 0:32:02while still adding value through creativity,
0:32:02 > 0:32:05which is ultimately something she is quite good at.
0:32:12 > 0:32:15- Oh, yes!- Baby, you want to make...
0:32:15 > 0:32:17Come on, throw it into me darling!
0:32:17 > 0:32:19- That's great.- Do me, baby, do me. - That's beautiful.
0:32:19 > 0:32:22- Break that thing, I'll kill you. - Don't worry, I'll kill myself.
0:32:25 > 0:32:26I don't think so, am I?
0:32:26 > 0:32:28No, it's just him and me.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30As project manager, I would have been
0:32:30 > 0:32:33a little more open to Dayana working and maybe worked a little bit harder
0:32:33 > 0:32:35at finding something for her to do.
0:32:35 > 0:32:39'But it's tough having been with this group for only one week
0:32:39 > 0:32:41'to really understand the dynamic.'
0:32:41 > 0:32:44I see both sides of the coin.
0:32:44 > 0:32:46Good morning, how are you doing?
0:32:46 > 0:32:48Let me just try something right now,
0:32:48 > 0:32:51when I say, "Puppet up," you say, "Puppet up."
0:32:51 > 0:32:53You all ready? Puppet up!
0:32:53 > 0:32:56Penn jumps right in and decides to take on his hosting duties
0:32:56 > 0:32:58while Lisa and I are drilling our improv.
0:32:58 > 0:33:02Dayana kind of sat in the audience and watched.
0:33:02 > 0:33:05This is Lisa and this is Clay with dental care.
0:33:05 > 0:33:09Let me hear you say it. Puppet up!
0:33:09 > 0:33:13Blanche, you are just divine, what do we have to sell this evening?
0:33:13 > 0:33:15For two people who don't have teeth,
0:33:15 > 0:33:17we sure do know a lot about dental products.
0:33:17 > 0:33:21'I was very impressed with Clay's improvisational skills.'
0:33:21 > 0:33:23It's really terrific how well he uses his voice.
0:33:23 > 0:33:29Tyler here has a box of props that Lisa and Clay have not seen.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32Ooh, this is an old-fashioned toothbrush.
0:33:32 > 0:33:34'I think we've been having to think on our feet a lot
0:33:34 > 0:33:36'throughout this competition,'
0:33:36 > 0:33:38but with this task, especially for Lisa and I,
0:33:38 > 0:33:40'we've got to think on our toes.
0:33:40 > 0:33:42'And I think the concerns are just making sure'
0:33:42 > 0:33:44we've got our brains on tomorrow morning
0:33:44 > 0:33:47when it's time to do this presentation.
0:33:47 > 0:33:52Tonight, a snow storm in Hawaii has got so many people really damn cold.
0:33:52 > 0:33:56I am currently standing in Hawaii and getting blown.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58Let me talk to this eyewitness.
0:33:58 > 0:34:01'Everybody's rehearsing, I was just sitting there,'
0:34:01 > 0:34:04I don't even know what I'm doing tomorrow. Like, I have to...
0:34:04 > 0:34:07I have to be asking and asking and asking and asking.
0:34:07 > 0:34:09'Like, it's just another demonstration
0:34:09 > 0:34:12'of how Lisa's trying just to put me on the side.'
0:34:12 > 0:34:17It seems very important to find out if the vapid model people
0:34:17 > 0:34:19who normally sit on the beaches... What do they say?
0:34:19 > 0:34:23Will we still have vapid models and superficial people?
0:34:23 > 0:34:28It seems there'll never be an end to vapid stupidity in Hawaii.
0:34:28 > 0:34:30Hold on, I will ask an eyewitness.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32LAUGHTER
0:34:34 > 0:34:36The whole improv thing, there's so much stuff,
0:34:36 > 0:34:39so, I'm going to give you guys a very abbreviated, like,
0:34:39 > 0:34:40rules of improv.
0:34:40 > 0:34:43- OK.- OK.- There's things that help improvs go better.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46The number one one is - don't deny.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48Like, if someone says, "Your outfit's horrible."
0:34:48 > 0:34:49- Yes, my outfit is horrible.- OK.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52And if someone says, "You're clumsy," I want to see you trip.
0:34:52 > 0:34:55Like, you always go with someone's idea.
0:34:55 > 0:34:59'We learned all the things we needed to know about improv,'
0:34:59 > 0:35:03but to learn anyone's art in one day is an impossible task,
0:35:03 > 0:35:05so, we'd better practise,
0:35:05 > 0:35:07'you really can't get enough practice.'
0:35:07 > 0:35:11Look at me. I look fabulous.
0:35:11 > 0:35:12Oh, that looks great.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14'I'm a little nervous about tomorrow,'
0:35:14 > 0:35:17but I'm going to try my best and, you know, that's all I can do.
0:35:17 > 0:35:20'You know, at least I'm trying to be a team player.'
0:35:20 > 0:35:22'Paul, he's just...'
0:35:22 > 0:35:24I don't know what he's really doing
0:35:24 > 0:35:26and he's our project manager this week.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28But I think he'd rather be riding his motorcycle
0:35:28 > 0:35:31than being here and playing with puppets.
0:35:31 > 0:35:36Ladies and gentlemen, the story of F Scott Fitzgerald.
0:35:36 > 0:35:40Our story begins when his parents are trying to think of a name.
0:35:40 > 0:35:43'Arsenio Hall, not my favourite,'
0:35:43 > 0:35:45but Arsenio's character's cute.
0:35:45 > 0:35:47He's a comedian, he should be able to make people laugh
0:35:47 > 0:35:50'and Arsenio and I have to carry the brunt of the performance.'
0:35:50 > 0:35:53All right, so, this is an infomercial,
0:35:53 > 0:35:56let's do cleaning supplies, kitchen cleaning supplies.
0:35:56 > 0:35:57This item.
0:35:57 > 0:36:01This is to roll Parmesan cheese on a chicken cutlet.
0:36:01 > 0:36:04Yeah, and then after you're done, it cleans itself
0:36:04 > 0:36:06and that's how it's a cleaning item.
0:36:06 > 0:36:09Remember, we're selling cleaning supplies.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12'You could really feel the rolling of the eyes
0:36:12 > 0:36:15'every time Teresa just tries to act.'
0:36:15 > 0:36:18I mean, she doesn't even know what's happening in a scene,
0:36:18 > 0:36:20she doesn't know which character she is.
0:36:20 > 0:36:23This is my friend, her name's Tanya.
0:36:23 > 0:36:24Hi, Tanya.
0:36:24 > 0:36:27- Yeah, you're Tanya. - I'm Tanya. Wait.
0:36:27 > 0:36:29'Teresa's just trying her best,
0:36:29 > 0:36:32'which isn't going to be good enough, probably,
0:36:32 > 0:36:35'to win this task. And I'm the only one
0:36:35 > 0:36:39'that will try to save this with being the host.'
0:36:39 > 0:36:41Can you give us some kind of flavour of the fear
0:36:41 > 0:36:44these people are feeling, is there any special smell to this fear?
0:36:44 > 0:36:46How do you feel about your fear?
0:36:46 > 0:36:47Say an adjective.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50Monsters!
0:36:50 > 0:36:51She feels monsters.
0:36:53 > 0:36:56Obviously, the fear is affecting these people's speech centres,
0:36:56 > 0:36:57that's a very specific fear.
0:37:03 > 0:37:07Teresa, what this really is, it's a Rolodex exercise in comedy,
0:37:07 > 0:37:09when you hear a word, just play association
0:37:09 > 0:37:11and go through your Rolodex
0:37:11 > 0:37:14- and say something that's associated with that word, you know?- OK.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16'So, it's the day of the show'
0:37:16 > 0:37:19and we're in the van, on our way over to the theatre,
0:37:19 > 0:37:23'and I could tell we're all very nervous, but very excited.'
0:37:23 > 0:37:28OK, in the bucket, you just pulled out a pencil.
0:37:28 > 0:37:33A pencil? A pencil... Oh, my God.
0:37:33 > 0:37:35Um...a toothbrush...
0:37:35 > 0:37:38- A device used to keep in gas. - There you go.
0:37:38 > 0:37:41A device used to keep in gas. A pencil?
0:37:41 > 0:37:44How would a pencil be used to keep in gas?
0:37:44 > 0:37:47Cos you'd put it in the... What is that thing called?
0:37:47 > 0:37:50- The gas exhaust.- The exhaust. - See, now, I wouldn't know that.
0:37:50 > 0:37:54I'm thinking that a gas tank has got a bigger hole than that.
0:37:54 > 0:37:57So, gas exhaust has a little tiny hole like that?
0:37:57 > 0:37:58It's metaphorical.
0:37:58 > 0:38:01What Teresa has working for her is her bubbly, naive,
0:38:01 > 0:38:03childlike personality
0:38:03 > 0:38:04'and it's endearing and cute,
0:38:04 > 0:38:08'but other than that, she doesn't bring much to the table.'
0:38:08 > 0:38:11I thought you were talking about somebody's ass.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13ARSENIO LAUGHS
0:38:13 > 0:38:15No?
0:38:18 > 0:38:22When we did Medieval Times, did you guys have a big dressing room?
0:38:22 > 0:38:25- No, we had a locker room.- I know, yeah, that's what I mean, us too.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28And Debbie Gibson took a four-alarm dump...
0:38:28 > 0:38:30Now, I'm not talking out of school...
0:38:30 > 0:38:32'We go to our dressing room at the performance base'
0:38:32 > 0:38:34and we're just hanging out.
0:38:34 > 0:38:36I'm big on not
0:38:36 > 0:38:39'stressing and running stuff the day of,
0:38:39 > 0:38:41'because I think that's the death of improv,
0:38:41 > 0:38:42'to try to memorise something'
0:38:42 > 0:38:44and hope it looks spontaneous.
0:38:44 > 0:38:47Since Dayana is in black, could she stand over there
0:38:47 > 0:38:51and onstage, beside the puppets and just help people put theirs on?
0:38:51 > 0:38:53At least that way she doesn't look like she's not around?
0:38:53 > 0:38:57I offered to carry at least the case over,
0:38:57 > 0:39:00the objects for the wardrobe.
0:39:00 > 0:39:03Well, you're involved in the show because everybody's involved,
0:39:03 > 0:39:06just cos you're not onstage, doesn't mean you're not involved,
0:39:06 > 0:39:09- so, let's not have drama.- OK.- OK?
0:39:09 > 0:39:11It's always something, Dayana, isn't it?
0:39:11 > 0:39:13- I came to you to ask you, Lisa... - It wasn't enough?
0:39:13 > 0:39:16- Stop it. I came to you to ask you. - No, don't be, "Stop it."
0:39:16 > 0:39:18- There's...listen... - It's always something.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20Backstage is never good enough for you.
0:39:20 > 0:39:23'While we were in the dressing room, the discussion arose
0:39:23 > 0:39:26'about what Dayana should be doing during the performance, maybe'
0:39:26 > 0:39:29in an effort to keep Dayana from having to be backstage
0:39:29 > 0:39:32'all the time, she could hand the box of items to our assistants
0:39:32 > 0:39:34'from the troupe, but Lisa went'
0:39:34 > 0:39:36from zero to 60 in a second.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38What you're trying to do,
0:39:38 > 0:39:40- BLEEP- up the whole work. - I'm trying to help you
0:39:40 > 0:39:43- with the box onstage, I'm trying to be part of the team.- I...I...
0:39:43 > 0:39:45And if the box is involved in the situation,
0:39:45 > 0:39:48as part of the team I came to you, that's it.
0:39:48 > 0:39:51- How about this? Do whatever you- BLEEP- want.
0:39:51 > 0:39:52How's that?
0:39:52 > 0:39:55- I'm not going to...Lisa. - No, seriously, how does that sound?
0:39:55 > 0:39:58OK, ladies. Ladies, ladies, ladies, we've got to be happy and jolly.
0:39:58 > 0:40:01- It's always something.- We've got to be jolly, we've got to do puppets.
0:40:01 > 0:40:04- It's always if she's not on the- BLEEP- stage,
0:40:04 > 0:40:06- she wasn't- BLEEP- involved.- You've got to be in a good mood, so...
0:40:06 > 0:40:09Oh, I'll be in a good mood, cos I do this every night.
0:40:09 > 0:40:11We've got to go out there and do a comedy performance
0:40:11 > 0:40:15and I know Lisa is a professional and will be able to turn it on,
0:40:15 > 0:40:16'but I've got to do one too.'
0:40:16 > 0:40:18You know what?
0:40:18 > 0:40:20- You're a- BLEEP- pain in the ass.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22I had to a kind of create, out of my ass yesterday
0:40:22 > 0:40:23something for you to do.
0:40:23 > 0:40:26We could've freaking handled those puppets, believe me.
0:40:26 > 0:40:30- We could've glued some - BLEEP- make-up and some- BLEEP- glue
0:40:30 > 0:40:32- on that- BLEEP- puppet. - But you didn't.
0:40:32 > 0:40:33Yeah, but guess what?
0:40:33 > 0:40:36Cos we had to create something for you to do again.
0:40:36 > 0:40:39Lisa, you're the one deciding what you want me to do.
0:40:39 > 0:40:40I'm so not fighting with you, just shut up, OK?
0:40:40 > 0:40:43- You're the one deciding...- Shut up. - ..you're the project manager
0:40:43 > 0:40:45and I'm here to do what you want me to do.
0:40:45 > 0:40:49Just do whatever you want. Bring out the box. Do what you want.
0:40:51 > 0:40:54- Never is involved enough. - BLEEP- baby.
0:40:54 > 0:40:56- The- BLEEP.
0:40:56 > 0:40:59SHE CRIES
0:41:00 > 0:41:02It made me upset, cos all I do with Lisa is treat her better
0:41:02 > 0:41:05than she does...treats other people.
0:41:08 > 0:41:12And she still has no decency or respect.
0:41:14 > 0:41:15It's really sad to see.
0:41:17 > 0:41:18It's disappointing.
0:41:20 > 0:41:23And I've been dealing with her since we started playing.
0:41:25 > 0:41:27It's been fun.
0:41:29 > 0:41:33You guys just sit there and you act like everything's fine.
0:41:33 > 0:41:37- Is it all my responsibility to handle her every- BLEEP- task?!
0:41:37 > 0:41:40And no-one here can step in ever?
0:41:40 > 0:41:43What, are you morally against that?
0:41:43 > 0:41:46'I was blown away by the blow up in the dressing room.
0:41:46 > 0:41:47'You know, Lisa might be'
0:41:47 > 0:41:50jealous of Dayana. She's beautiful. I mean, screw beautiful,
0:41:50 > 0:41:52she's stunning.
0:41:52 > 0:41:54'And maybe that made Lisa feel threatened.
0:41:54 > 0:41:56'It's hard to really tell.'
0:41:56 > 0:41:59Always has to be the star, every time.
0:41:59 > 0:42:02I'm not going home cos some bitch can't stand being behind the camera.
0:42:04 > 0:42:06SHE SNIFFS
0:42:10 > 0:42:15Sometimes, jumping in to help those in need of back up, would be great.
0:42:18 > 0:42:22I'm not willing to be on a team where people can't ever step in.
0:42:22 > 0:42:23'Before the performance,'
0:42:23 > 0:42:25Lisa and Dayana
0:42:25 > 0:42:28'had a kind of battle. And I got up and left.'
0:42:28 > 0:42:30If you'd like me to talk to her, I will.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33Well, what would you like to happen on the stage first?
0:42:33 > 0:42:35I'll just tell her it won't happen. I mean, exactly what you said,
0:42:35 > 0:42:37I'll make sure that's the way it goes.
0:42:37 > 0:42:40'Lisa felt I should have backed her more,
0:42:40 > 0:42:42'but Lisa was loud and unpleasant
0:42:42 > 0:42:46'and when someone is yelling something,'
0:42:46 > 0:42:49I pull away and I'm quiet and I don't want to be part of it.
0:42:49 > 0:42:54- How are you doing?- I'm good. - Will you be OK?- Yeah.
0:42:54 > 0:42:57Well, I think you shouldn't carry the box on
0:42:57 > 0:43:00and I think we should just pull it together and let them do a good job.
0:43:00 > 0:43:02It's not even about the box.
0:43:02 > 0:43:05It's been always like that with Lisa, since I started playing.
0:43:05 > 0:43:08I've been always... And that's why I'm in the boardroom the whole time,
0:43:08 > 0:43:10cos I've been always pushed on the side.
0:43:10 > 0:43:13So they can say, "She didn't do anything, we don't need her."
0:43:13 > 0:43:16'Dayana complained to me a bit and I listened.
0:43:16 > 0:43:21'I often find that in situations where someone's very upset,
0:43:21 > 0:43:23'if you just shut up and look at them,'
0:43:23 > 0:43:25it's really the best thing to do.
0:43:25 > 0:43:27But I cannot just sit there and shout insults,
0:43:27 > 0:43:30so it is hurtful when people treat you like that
0:43:30 > 0:43:31and you just try to make them feel good.
0:43:31 > 0:43:34- SHE SIGHS - Whatever, it's been the same thing
0:43:34 > 0:43:36with her all the time.
0:43:36 > 0:43:39Sometimes not trying to solve things is the best way to solve things.
0:43:39 > 0:43:40Do you want to go back in the room
0:43:40 > 0:43:43or do you want to stay a little separate from Lisa?
0:43:43 > 0:43:46No, I'll go back. I mean, I'm still working with her.
0:43:46 > 0:43:47- We're still working.- OK.
0:44:05 > 0:44:08I was concerned after the fight that it might put a little bit'
0:44:08 > 0:44:11of a nasty damper on the energy and spirit the group had been
0:44:11 > 0:44:12working with thus far.
0:44:12 > 0:44:15'But by the time it was time for our performance, we really had gotten
0:44:15 > 0:44:17'our energy level back up
0:44:17 > 0:44:21'and I think we were all ready to jump out and just go for it.'
0:44:22 > 0:44:24How you doing?
0:44:24 > 0:44:26CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:44:27 > 0:44:30Welcome to Stuffed And Unstrung.
0:44:30 > 0:44:32First, we have Clay Aiken.
0:44:34 > 0:44:38And we have the Queen of Mean, Lisa Lampanelli.
0:44:43 > 0:44:45Penn's the grandfather of comedy.
0:44:45 > 0:44:48He's an awesome host. He just knows how to keep the ball rolling.
0:44:48 > 0:44:50Thank God he was too tall to do a puppet.
0:44:50 > 0:44:53First of all, I need somebody to yell out, you ready for this,
0:44:53 > 0:44:55a foreign country, I don't care what it is.
0:44:55 > 0:44:56- AUDIENCE MEMBER:- Iceland!
0:44:56 > 0:44:59I heard Iceland first, we'll go with Iceland
0:44:59 > 0:45:02And now, something that someone in Iceland might know about.
0:45:02 > 0:45:04AUDIENCE SHOUT SUGGESTIONS Ice fishing.
0:45:04 > 0:45:06Anything else a little bit more interesting?
0:45:06 > 0:45:09- AUDIENCE MEMBER:- Bjork. - So, Bjork's ice-fishing career.
0:45:10 > 0:45:11I say puppet up!
0:45:11 > 0:45:14- AUDIENCE:- Puppet up!- Let's go!
0:45:14 > 0:45:15AUDIENCE CHEER
0:45:15 > 0:45:18Hello, ladies and gentlemen, my name is Buster Mc-such-and-such
0:45:18 > 0:45:22and I'm here today with Helga Gebauensdottirs...dottir.
0:45:24 > 0:45:28Blieben zie bleiben bebloben de bleurgh.
0:45:28 > 0:45:30'The set up'
0:45:30 > 0:45:32for doing one of these puppet improv shows
0:45:32 > 0:45:33'is a completely different world.
0:45:33 > 0:45:35'We have to have the puppets above our head,
0:45:35 > 0:45:38'we've got to position them on the camera,
0:45:38 > 0:45:41'we're looking at the monitor to see where our puppets are.'
0:45:41 > 0:45:43I don't even know if I can say that. These people...
0:45:43 > 0:45:47One day while ice fishing, Bjork got tangled up in her line
0:45:47 > 0:45:50and was strangled and she had a swan wrapped around her neck.
0:45:54 > 0:45:56I definitely believe that Lisa and I
0:45:56 > 0:45:59went out there with no reservations, no apprehension
0:45:59 > 0:46:01and just went balls to the wall.
0:46:01 > 0:46:04'We really were able to play off each other pretty well.'
0:46:04 > 0:46:06You know those television biographies,
0:46:06 > 0:46:09we want to get someone from like at least 100 years ago.
0:46:09 > 0:46:11- AUDIENCE MEMBER:- Genghis Khan! - Genghis Khan!
0:46:15 > 0:46:19Genghis Khan, he is Asian
0:46:19 > 0:46:20and was mean.
0:46:23 > 0:46:26- Hello, hello.- Get out of my face,
0:46:26 > 0:46:27get away from me.
0:46:27 > 0:46:31I just wanted to tell you that dinner is ready, son.
0:46:31 > 0:46:32- Dinner is ready?- Dinner is ready.
0:46:32 > 0:46:34I will eat you! Get away from me!
0:46:35 > 0:46:41Genghis was mean, because for some inexplicable reason,
0:46:41 > 0:46:43he had an English accent.
0:46:45 > 0:46:47- ASIAN ACCENT:- 'I don't know how to do Asian.'
0:46:47 > 0:46:50I felt like I was doing this, I felt like I was talking like this,
0:46:50 > 0:46:51but I guess I was not.
0:46:51 > 0:46:55- ENGLISH ACCENT:- I've decided I'm going to invade England as well.
0:46:55 > 0:46:57They won't notice that you've invaded them,
0:46:57 > 0:46:59cos you sound like them.
0:47:05 > 0:47:09There was a joke that Clay did that was so funny
0:47:09 > 0:47:11and the time of the sketch had definitely gone long enough
0:47:11 > 0:47:13where I was like,
0:47:13 > 0:47:16"Oh, my God, Penn, like, wrap it up."
0:47:16 > 0:47:18- Learn from your mistakes. - Uh, uh, uh!
0:47:18 > 0:47:20The music is his only weakness.
0:47:20 > 0:47:22It almost looked like he was sitting back
0:47:22 > 0:47:24and enjoying himself watching it.
0:47:24 > 0:47:29'And I think he took too long to call the blackout on the scene.'
0:47:33 > 0:47:35This next one is just going to be an infomercial
0:47:35 > 0:47:39and it's for a collection of things that they're trying to sell

0:47:51 > 0:47:55Tonight, we're going to be selling some GOOD items for you.
0:47:55 > 0:47:59We've got some medicine and some medicinal products.
0:47:59 > 0:48:03We sure do, we sure do, what's the first product?
0:48:03 > 0:48:05Oooh, my goodness!
0:48:05 > 0:48:08Oh, Lord. Sometimes Blanche gets warts on her under areas
0:48:08 > 0:48:11and she can use this to clip them off.
0:48:11 > 0:48:14- See, you spread it out... - Absolutely true.
0:48:14 > 0:48:16Do it, do it, do it.
0:48:16 > 0:48:20Oh, fantastic. Oh, fantastic.
0:48:20 > 0:48:22Lisa and I tended to go a little bit
0:48:22 > 0:48:24blue when it came to the jokes.
0:48:24 > 0:48:27'Some things might not have been horribly appropriate.'
0:48:27 > 0:48:30Now, Blanche's bosoms are different sizes, as you can see.
0:48:30 > 0:48:33Yes, they are, actually, if you can see under my dress,
0:48:33 > 0:48:35they poke out the bottom.
0:48:35 > 0:48:40So, usually I take this, hoist them up and it's, "Hello, Navy!"

0:48:49 > 0:48:52Lisa Lampanelli, Clay Aiken.
0:48:52 > 0:48:55'They might be like, "Oh, my God, that's a little edgy."

0:49:02 > 0:49:06'I know a live audience, I know an audience that knows you killed
0:49:06 > 0:49:09'and, legitimately, we killed it.'
0:49:09 > 0:49:12Thank you so much, stay stuffed and unstrung.
0:49:12 > 0:49:14Take it easy.
0:49:25 > 0:49:28Get in here. Now, I have to bleep it, so it doesn't matter.
0:49:28 > 0:49:30- BLEEP- with each other. One, two, three.
0:49:30 > 0:49:32- ALL:- BLEEP- with each other.
0:49:32 > 0:49:34'Moments before our presentation,'
0:49:34 > 0:49:36for me, there was no pressure,
0:49:36 > 0:49:38because I was just sitting on the sidelines there,
0:49:38 > 0:49:41'but you could feel the energy in the air and you could feel
0:49:41 > 0:49:45'that these guys were ready to get out there and ready for the game.'

0:49:58 > 0:50:00a bunch of puppets behaving badly.
0:50:00 > 0:50:02Here's some language we do at the improv,

0:50:13 > 0:50:16the crowd responded really great to me,
0:50:16 > 0:50:18I could see everyone with big smiles on their face
0:50:18 > 0:50:21and so I felt really inspired to keep it going.
0:50:21 > 0:50:23All right, I'm looking for a specialty,
0:50:23 > 0:50:27we have someone here that is going to be an expert in a field.

0:51:06 > 0:51:09HE BURPS
0:51:09 > 0:51:10That's rude.
0:51:10 > 0:51:14Teeth, they drive us in our daily lives.
0:51:14 > 0:51:18They can drive you all the way around in a big circle.
0:51:18 > 0:51:21HE SPEAKS GIBBERISH
0:51:23 > 0:51:25We use them to eat things like tartare sauce.
0:51:27 > 0:51:29Arsenio is the best on our team
0:51:29 > 0:51:31at being comedic
0:51:31 > 0:51:34and having a quick wit and his Norwegian dentist
0:51:34 > 0:51:36was hilarious and the crowd loved it.
0:51:36 > 0:51:39All right, we're going to move on to a historical biography
0:51:39 > 0:51:40and I want all my actors. Puppet up!
0:51:40 > 0:51:42- AUDIENCE:- Puppet up!
0:51:42 > 0:51:45All right, everyone, we're looking for a historical figure
0:51:45 > 0:51:47that's been dead for over 100 years.
0:51:47 > 0:51:50- AUDIENCE MEMBER:- Johnny Appleseed. - Johnny Appleseed, all right.
0:51:50 > 0:51:53Let's get a huge round of applause, everyone.
0:51:56 > 0:51:57Good evening.
0:51:57 > 0:52:03Our story begins in an office, right near Bedford-Stuyvesant.
0:52:04 > 0:52:08Doctor, hi, the next patient is here to see you.
0:52:08 > 0:52:09Hi.
0:52:09 > 0:52:12- I'll leave you two alone. - I see something's troubling you.
0:52:12 > 0:52:16No, nothing's troubling me, what's troubling you?
0:52:16 > 0:52:17I'm here to see Johnny.
0:52:17 > 0:52:20I'm...I'm Johnny.
0:52:20 > 0:52:21You're not Johnny.
0:52:21 > 0:52:26'When Teresa first started out, she was hitting a lot of negatives.
0:52:26 > 0:52:29'In improv, the only answer is yes.'
0:52:29 > 0:52:32I mean, that's like number one, cardinal rule and she broke it,
0:52:32 > 0:52:33out the gate.
0:52:33 > 0:52:35Hi, Johnny Appleseed.
0:52:35 > 0:52:38I miss you really a lot.
0:52:38 > 0:52:40Your eyes, they're so beautiful.
0:52:40 > 0:52:42Thank you.
0:52:42 > 0:52:44And your eyes are so dark.
0:52:44 > 0:52:47Yes, like seeds.
0:52:49 > 0:52:50Way cool.
0:52:52 > 0:52:56- It's far out lingo like that that made me fall in love with you.- Oh.
0:52:57 > 0:53:01I was really nervous for Teresa, but she tends to get on a stage
0:53:01 > 0:53:03and win people over
0:53:03 > 0:53:04just with her voice
0:53:04 > 0:53:06and her ability to not know
0:53:06 > 0:53:08what's going on.
0:53:08 > 0:53:10Somehow she's fine-tuned that
0:53:10 > 0:53:13to actually be a selling point to a crowd.
0:53:13 > 0:53:16OK, we're going to move right over to an infomercial.
0:53:16 > 0:53:18So, we're looking for a product line.
0:53:18 > 0:53:21So, you guys have any suggestions?
0:53:21 > 0:53:22Something like cosmetics?
0:53:22 > 0:53:25Pantyhose, there we go. OK. Puppet up!
0:53:25 > 0:53:26- AUDIENCE:- Puppet up!
0:53:26 > 0:53:29All right, and a huge round of applause.
0:53:31 > 0:53:33We're selling pantyhose today.
0:53:33 > 0:53:35And we've got a lot of revolutionary products.
0:53:35 > 0:53:39- What's the first one?- Oh that.- Yeah.
0:53:39 > 0:53:41I use that when I wear Spanx.
0:53:41 > 0:53:43LAUGHTER
0:53:43 > 0:53:46Yeah, it gives you bulges in all the right areas.
0:53:46 > 0:53:49Yeah, I put it right underneath my chuckalina when I have to go pee.
0:53:49 > 0:53:51Yeah.
0:53:51 > 0:53:53- So, not only... - LAUGHTER
0:53:53 > 0:53:56During the performance, I wasn't nervous at all
0:53:56 > 0:53:57and I felt like the audience
0:53:57 > 0:53:58responded really well to me
0:53:58 > 0:54:00and I was hearing laughs.
0:54:00 > 0:54:02I feel like I'm an improv-ing pro.
0:54:02 > 0:54:05You might want to move over a little bit and give me some room.
0:54:05 > 0:54:06- OK.- There we go.
0:54:06 > 0:54:08Let's go to the next item.
0:54:08 > 0:54:10Look at that suction on the end.
0:54:10 > 0:54:13- It sucks all my fat out.- Yeah.
0:54:14 > 0:54:16- It's way better than Spanx.- Yeah.
0:54:19 > 0:54:23I tried my best to cut off each scene at the right time.
0:54:23 > 0:54:25It's definitely a talent.
0:54:25 > 0:54:28It's a really difficult job to know where the comedic timing is
0:54:28 > 0:54:30and know where something needs to end.
0:54:30 > 0:54:33All right, thank you everyone for coming to Stuffed And Unstrung.
0:54:33 > 0:54:36I want to call back up my cast of puppeteers.
0:54:36 > 0:54:39'I feel really good about Arsenio's performance,'
0:54:39 > 0:54:40Teresa ended up pulling it together.
0:54:40 > 0:54:43'I think I did a good job at being a team player.
0:54:43 > 0:54:45'It was an enjoyable experience.
0:54:45 > 0:54:47'So, I feel like we won, even if we didn't.'
0:54:47 > 0:54:50Thank you, guys, so much for coming out, we really love you guys.
0:54:55 > 0:54:57So, what are your general thoughts and impressions?
0:54:57 > 0:54:59Well, first of all, I have to say,
0:54:59 > 0:55:03I was very impressed with how much they accomplished in one day.
0:55:03 > 0:55:06What did you like and dislike about Unanimous?
0:55:06 > 0:55:09In terms of setting up the individual sketches,
0:55:09 > 0:55:11getting the suggestions from the audience,
0:55:11 > 0:55:14Aubrey did a really good job and she decided when the sketch ended...
0:55:14 > 0:55:16- To end the scenes. - ..that's a very important thing.
0:55:16 > 0:55:18- Great instinct.- She was good at that.- Great instincts.
0:55:18 > 0:55:22Arsenio, his performance was pretty doggone solid.
0:55:22 > 0:55:26Yeah, great comedic instincts, great rhythm and timing.
0:55:26 > 0:55:30Teresa, in terms of her improvising, she was breaking the rules a lot.
0:55:30 > 0:55:33Yeah, a lot of questions, denials, which, clearly,
0:55:33 > 0:55:34they were trained not to do.
0:55:34 > 0:55:37So, in comparison, what did you think of Lisa's team, Forte?
0:55:37 > 0:55:40Lisa's improvising was super strong,
0:55:40 > 0:55:43I expected real strong performing out of Lisa.
0:55:43 > 0:55:45Clay, I wasn't so sure, but he really attacked it.
0:55:45 > 0:55:48But there was one part where the material in the infomercial
0:55:48 > 0:55:51talked about sexual parts and things on sexual parts,
0:55:51 > 0:55:56probably they attacked it too directly
0:55:56 > 0:55:58and that's just a slight step too far.
0:55:58 > 0:56:00How about Penn cutting the scenes?
0:56:00 > 0:56:03I think most of his blackouts were good,
0:56:03 > 0:56:05he did miss the Genghis Khan one.
0:56:05 > 0:56:07The audience was loving it and it felt like the story was over.
0:56:07 > 0:56:09It's like, let's go out on that kind of upswing
0:56:09 > 0:56:11and I kind of looked over at him and I thought,
0:56:11 > 0:56:14- "He might've turned into an audience member." That can happen.- Yeah.
0:56:14 > 0:56:18So, after seeing the two different teams, the two different skits,
0:56:18 > 0:56:19what do you think, who's the winner?
0:56:19 > 0:56:24In terms of the overall show, when you add it all up,
0:56:24 > 0:56:28it was clear to us that the winner is...
0:56:51 > 0:56:55Dayana, how did you get along with Lisa?
0:56:55 > 0:56:57- Well, um... - LISA LAUGHS
0:56:58 > 0:57:01How everybody gets along with Lisa, I guess,
0:57:01 > 0:57:03- until she explodes.- Not easy.
0:57:03 > 0:57:07Do you think that Lisa was a good project manager or not particularly?
0:57:07 > 0:57:11- She was OK.- Not great? - Not great.- OK.
0:57:11 > 0:57:14So, Lisa, what did you think of Dayana?
0:57:16 > 0:57:19- Um, not much.- Not much, why?
0:57:19 > 0:57:22Because I kind of object to people who think that being
0:57:22 > 0:57:26behind the scenes is less important than being on camera or onstage.
0:57:26 > 0:57:29- And she thinks that? - I find it very offensive
0:57:29 > 0:57:31when people don't like their behind-the-scenes job,
0:57:31 > 0:57:33because that devalues the crew
0:57:33 > 0:57:35of every TV show and film that was ever made.
0:57:35 > 0:57:38So, I think it's very pushy and unprofessional
0:57:38 > 0:57:40to always want to be in front of the camera,
0:57:40 > 0:57:42especially when it's not appropriate.
0:57:42 > 0:57:44Dayana, did you want to be in the show?
0:57:44 > 0:57:48No, it was not about me trying to be in the show anyhow.
0:57:48 > 0:57:52Cos...since from the very beginning, I always respected her opinions
0:57:52 > 0:57:55- and I brought...- Do you really respect her opinions?- Er...
0:57:55 > 0:57:57Or are you just saying that because it's...
0:57:57 > 0:57:58No, she's the project manager
0:57:58 > 0:58:02and it's always her last word, so, whatever she decides, I will do it.
0:58:02 > 0:58:04Who were the puppeteers?
0:58:04 > 0:58:06Clay and Lisa.
0:58:06 > 0:58:10Oh. How come? How come Clay and Lisa? Why, Lisa?
0:58:10 > 0:58:14Because I've been on stage doing a lot of improv in my life
0:58:14 > 0:58:19for the past 22 years. Clay has a huge adaptability to improv,
0:58:19 > 0:58:22he was amazing and brilliant. And Penn is a showman,
0:58:22 > 0:58:24first and foremost, and he would be a great host.
0:58:24 > 0:58:27- Too big too puppeteer. - Yeah, he's actually too tall.
0:58:27 > 0:58:29- You are pretty big, I would say you're pretty big.- Yeah.
0:58:29 > 0:58:32Clay, how were you as a puppeteer? Did you enjoy it?
0:58:32 > 0:58:33I did. Too small to host, actually.
0:58:33 > 0:58:35- LISA LAUGHS - I did...
0:58:35 > 0:58:38You're actually not a small guy. You're not a small guy.
0:58:38 > 0:58:40Used to be.
0:58:40 > 0:58:41I had a really good time.
0:58:41 > 0:58:45I think that Lisa and I really had a nice rapport onstage together.
0:58:45 > 0:58:46She's the comedian.
0:58:46 > 0:58:49I had a little bit of puppeteering experience at church.
0:58:49 > 0:58:52What I got picked on for. And we really brought, you know,
0:58:52 > 0:58:54we brought our strengths to the table
0:58:54 > 0:58:55and worked together really well.
0:58:55 > 0:58:58It does seem, though, that Lisa made the right decision in terms...
0:58:58 > 0:59:00- That's fine. - ..of who to put out on the stage,
0:59:00 > 0:59:02given the skill set of the group.
0:59:02 > 0:59:04I mean, it doesn't seem like an odd decision for you to be
0:59:04 > 0:59:06behind the scenes, right, Dayana?
0:59:06 > 0:59:09No, and I didn't argue with that, but the point was not me
0:59:09 > 0:59:11trying to fight her with being onstage,
0:59:11 > 0:59:14it was with me trying to do a little more than just sitting there
0:59:14 > 0:59:16and just watching them rehearse.
0:59:16 > 0:59:18So, you really didn't use Dayana, would you say?
0:59:18 > 0:59:20I used her as much as possible.
0:59:20 > 0:59:22So why was she bad then if you didn't use her?
0:59:22 > 0:59:24- I mean, you don't use her... - No, I didn't say she was bad.- OK.
0:59:24 > 0:59:27I wasn't asked, by the way, yet, how I thought anyone did.
0:59:27 > 0:59:31What I said was we could use her in certain aspects,
0:59:31 > 0:59:33it's not my problem that people come here
0:59:33 > 0:59:35with a more limited skill set in performing than the others.
0:59:35 > 0:59:38- Did her accent hurt her for what...- Absolutely.
0:59:38 > 0:59:40- All right.- Yes, absolutely. - I can understand that.
0:59:40 > 0:59:44And comedy is really hard and it's a little insulting to think
0:59:44 > 0:59:46it's so easy that anyone can just step in and do it.
0:59:46 > 0:59:49And you pick the people who have the strengths that they have.
0:59:49 > 0:59:51Are you made a comedian or are you born a comedian?
0:59:51 > 0:59:54I think you're born one, but the practice is necessary,
0:59:54 > 0:59:57you can't headline Carnegie Hall, you know, after ten minutes.
0:59:57 > 1:00:01So, then, why are you so upset, or at least you look upset, why?
1:00:02 > 1:00:06- Because it's the level of aggress...um...- Aggression.
1:00:06 > 1:00:08Aggression, thank you, Mr Trump.
1:00:08 > 1:00:11Aggression and disrespect that she carries...
1:00:11 > 1:00:15in herself and she projects to others. And I don't think that
1:00:15 > 1:00:18in any business or in any profession, you should show
1:00:18 > 1:00:21any aggression or disrespect to your partners or your team.
1:00:21 > 1:00:22OK.
1:00:24 > 1:00:29- So, Lisa. If you lose...- Yes, sir. - ..who are you going to bring back?
1:00:33 > 1:00:34Tell me.
1:00:36 > 1:00:38I... I haven't decided if I'm bringing anyone back.
1:00:41 > 1:00:44- What does that mean? - I might not bring anyone back.- Why?
1:00:44 > 1:00:45I'm a comedian.
1:00:45 > 1:00:48I got into the business to make people happy
1:00:48 > 1:00:50and that's what I do every day.
1:00:50 > 1:00:54I did not get into this business to make girls cry.
1:00:54 > 1:00:59So, I may just bring myself in. I...am not...
1:00:59 > 1:01:04I'm not going to be a villain because I have strong opinions
1:01:04 > 1:01:07and I'm not decided what I'm going to do yet.
1:01:07 > 1:01:10- I'll respectfully say that to you, sir.- I understand that.
1:01:10 > 1:01:14- No, I understand that.- You're staying, Lisa.- No, because I'm...
1:01:14 > 1:01:16- Yes, you are.- I'm a comedian who...
1:01:16 > 1:01:19You know I say the most crazy things to people and nobody leaves upset.
1:01:19 > 1:01:21But I did not get into this business...
1:01:21 > 1:01:24That's why I'm sort of surprised by what you're saying because...
1:01:24 > 1:01:25Because in my business...
1:01:25 > 1:01:28I view you as a great comedian but sort of a villainous comedian.
1:01:28 > 1:01:30- And you really...- But no-one ever walks out or gets angry.
1:01:30 > 1:01:32And I'm not comfortable with that.
1:01:32 > 1:01:35I think you're going to go down as a much nicer
1:01:35 > 1:01:38and much different person than the world understands.
1:01:38 > 1:01:40- Well...- And I think that's good.
1:01:40 > 1:01:43I don't think there's anything bad with you showing the emotion.
1:01:43 > 1:01:46I really think that's very nice. OK?
1:01:47 > 1:01:49Penn, let me ask you this question.
1:01:49 > 1:01:52Do you need a certain tough side to be a comedian?
1:01:52 > 1:01:54I think it's the opposite. I think you have to...
1:01:54 > 1:01:56You have to act tough.
1:01:56 > 1:02:00Bravery is not an absence of fear, bravery is action in face of fear.
1:02:00 > 1:02:04And I think to be a tough comedian, you must keep going
1:02:04 > 1:02:06but that doesn't mean your heart doesn't get broken.
1:02:06 > 1:02:07Constantly.
1:02:08 > 1:02:10OK. Paul?
1:02:11 > 1:02:13- How are you, Paul? - Good. How are you?
1:02:13 > 1:02:16Tell me, why did you want to be project manager?
1:02:16 > 1:02:18Did you know anything about puppets? I don't think so.
1:02:18 > 1:02:20You know what? I don't really know...
1:02:20 > 1:02:23- Excuse my language, a- BLEEP- thing about puppets.
1:02:23 > 1:02:25- To be honest with you. - Nor do you really want to know.
1:02:25 > 1:02:30Or do I want to know. Or did I ever know. Um, but I think that...
1:02:30 > 1:02:33You know, I think it was a situation
1:02:33 > 1:02:37where nobody wanted to really take that position.
1:02:37 > 1:02:40OK. So do you think your team won?
1:02:40 > 1:02:44- Yes.- You think you really did well? - I think everybody did well.
1:02:44 > 1:02:47I think that these guys really stepped up to the plate
1:02:47 > 1:02:49on their performance.
1:02:49 > 1:02:51Did you have any weak player?
1:02:51 > 1:02:52PAUL SIGHS
1:02:52 > 1:02:55In other words, if you lose, are you going to bring somebody back
1:02:55 > 1:02:58- because they made a mistake? - Well, I have to do that. So I...
1:02:58 > 1:03:02(Man, I hate this. I hate this.)
1:03:02 > 1:03:03It doesn't get easier!
1:03:03 > 1:03:06No, you can say it. Go ahead, Paul. Who's your weak player?
1:03:08 > 1:03:11- I'm going to say Teresa.- Why?
1:03:11 > 1:03:12Phew!
1:03:12 > 1:03:15I think sometimes it takes her a long time to make up her mind.
1:03:15 > 1:03:20- For what, Paul?- Well, I guess the doll thing in the beginning.
1:03:20 > 1:03:23I think Arsenio was kind of asking you to step it up with
1:03:23 > 1:03:25the name part and it just seemed like it took you quite a while.
1:03:25 > 1:03:27Well, you know, names take me...
1:03:27 > 1:03:31To me, names are really important and what I ended up with, I loved.
1:03:31 > 1:03:34- Fabalina, her name was. And you know...- Good name.
1:03:34 > 1:03:38I did a good job for all four of my daughters' names.
1:03:38 > 1:03:40But you know, names are really important.
1:03:40 > 1:03:43So to me, I'm not going to just pick a name out of a hat.
1:03:43 > 1:03:48Interestingly, her daughter's name Milania was inspired by Melania.
1:03:48 > 1:03:50You named your daughter actually after my wife Melania?
1:03:50 > 1:03:53- But I spell it differently. - So how could I possibly fire her?
1:03:53 > 1:03:54- OTHERS LAUGH - But I spell it...
1:03:54 > 1:03:57That pretty much means she has to win, Arsenio, right?
1:03:57 > 1:03:59- She's going to go all the way. - I agree.- So that's very nice.
1:03:59 > 1:04:02One thing that's definitely worth noting is that Paul was
1:04:02 > 1:04:04very physically handicapped this challenge.
1:04:04 > 1:04:07It was rather incredible that he was able to get through it.
1:04:07 > 1:04:09I mean, he basically blew out his back.
1:04:09 > 1:04:12Did you blow it out or is it just wear and tear?
1:04:12 > 1:04:15I have a history of back problems.
1:04:15 > 1:04:17Really? Too much 'choppering'?
1:04:17 > 1:04:20Too much, you know, lifting steel. Too many accidents, you know.
1:04:20 > 1:04:22- Are you OK?- I'm better today.
1:04:22 > 1:04:24Yesterday, I couldn't stand up straight.
1:04:24 > 1:04:27Aubrey, how was Paul as project manager?
1:04:27 > 1:04:30Like Ivanka said, he had his back situation, which limited him.
1:04:30 > 1:04:32Did that affect his ability? Did that affect him?
1:04:32 > 1:04:33Well, because we really...
1:04:33 > 1:04:36You know, he would have been great obviously as a puppet,
1:04:36 > 1:04:38he knows that and he's got this great signature voice.
1:04:38 > 1:04:40So, he would have been such an asset
1:04:40 > 1:04:42but he couldn't even lift his arm over his head.
1:04:42 > 1:04:45- So that was a problem but that's just a personal injury.- Arsenio?
1:04:45 > 1:04:48- Yes, sir.- What did you think of Paul as project manager?
1:04:48 > 1:04:53Paul is a trooper. And the inspiration was that he didn't quit.
1:04:53 > 1:04:55So my thought was that,
1:04:55 > 1:04:58"You may not be able to do this but you can lead us."
1:04:58 > 1:04:59OK, good.
1:05:01 > 1:05:05So, Eric. Let me ask you. Brian and Patrick from Henson.
1:05:05 > 1:05:08- What did they think?- Well, Penn.
1:05:08 > 1:05:10They really thought you did an incredible job leading the show.
1:05:10 > 1:05:14You were a great host. They really thought you were magic up there.
1:05:14 > 1:05:16Lisa, Clay. They thought you guys did an incredible job.
1:05:16 > 1:05:19They never thought you'd be as assertive as you were.
1:05:19 > 1:05:22Front and centre, they really thought it was courageous
1:05:22 > 1:05:25and ultimately they really think it worked for you.
1:05:25 > 1:05:27They also thought the puppets were great, Dayana.
1:05:27 > 1:05:29And this is to your credit, they thought they were simple,
1:05:29 > 1:05:31clean and Brian even made a comment
1:05:31 > 1:05:34- that they would use them in their own show.- And Penn.
1:05:34 > 1:05:37- And so, I think that's a great- compliment. Thank you.
1:05:37 > 1:05:40The negatives. Penn, you missed a couple of cues.
1:05:40 > 1:05:43Ending too early and beginning too late.
1:05:43 > 1:05:46You know, stopping the show at the wrong time.
1:05:46 > 1:05:47They also thought one of the acts
1:05:47 > 1:05:49was a little bit too sexual in nature.
1:05:49 > 1:05:50That there were a couple of props
1:05:50 > 1:05:53and it just went a little bit too far, maybe crossed the line.
1:05:53 > 1:05:56- It was a very big negative for them. - Very interesting.
1:05:58 > 1:06:01So, Ivanka. What did they think of Paul's team?
1:06:01 > 1:06:03Well, in terms of the positives,
1:06:03 > 1:06:06they thought that Arsenio's puppetry was excellent.
1:06:06 > 1:06:08Um, and they thought you were very, very committed
1:06:08 > 1:06:10and particularly good on stage.
1:06:10 > 1:06:14In terms of Aubrey, they thought you just had great instincts as a host
1:06:14 > 1:06:17and you really understood it, timing was terrific.
1:06:17 > 1:06:20In terms of the negatives, they thought that the show,
1:06:20 > 1:06:23generally speaking, was just a little bit on the safe side.
1:06:23 > 1:06:27They thought the puppets were also a little bit too complex,
1:06:27 > 1:06:30so they didn't have a lot of versatility in between skits.
1:06:30 > 1:06:31And lastly, Teresa.
1:06:31 > 1:06:35They thought that you had some trouble with the rules of improv.
1:06:37 > 1:06:39OK.
1:06:39 > 1:06:41So, let's find out who won.
1:06:44 > 1:06:48Brian and Patrick thought you both worked really hard.
1:06:48 > 1:06:50There was a lot of artistry
1:06:50 > 1:06:53and they actually did love what you did, Dayana.
1:06:53 > 1:06:56They loved some of the things that your team did, Paul.
1:06:57 > 1:06:58But the fact is...
1:06:59 > 1:07:03..in the end, they felt that Lisa's team won.
1:07:03 > 1:07:09- You won 20,000 for your charity, Lisa.- Thank you.- Amazing job.
1:07:09 > 1:07:11- They really thought it was good. - Congratulations.
1:07:11 > 1:07:15- So I congratulate you. What is the charity?- Gay Men's Health Crisis.
1:07:16 > 1:07:18- Fantastic, great group.- Thank you.
1:07:18 > 1:07:20That's great, great people, they do a great job.
1:07:20 > 1:07:22Congratulations, 20,000.
1:07:22 > 1:07:25OK. Go back to your suite.
1:07:25 > 1:07:28- You can watch if you want on television.- Thank you.
1:07:28 > 1:07:29Thank you.
1:07:31 > 1:07:33- Good job, everybody.- Thank you.
1:07:33 > 1:07:37- Well, there you go. Congratulations. - I'm glad it ended positive.
1:07:37 > 1:07:42Paul's team, stay where you are. Sadly, somebody will be fired.
1:07:49 > 1:07:53- Congratulations, everybody. - Congratulations.- Forte!
1:07:53 > 1:07:56- Gay Men's Health Crisis. - Yay!- Gay men in general!
1:07:56 > 1:07:58Gay, gay, gay, gay! Everybody's gay.
1:08:00 > 1:08:04This is so exciting I won for GMHC. They're getting 20 Gs.
1:08:04 > 1:08:07I can't even believe I made them wait this long for a freaking win.
1:08:07 > 1:08:11I finally can show my face around the gay community once again!
1:08:11 > 1:08:15- Thank God we won.- I forgot how champagne tasted!
1:08:15 > 1:08:17SHE LAUGHS
1:08:17 > 1:08:19- You're right. - 'I'm so happy we won this task.
1:08:19 > 1:08:22'But Lisa changes the way she is so quickly.
1:08:22 > 1:08:23'It's not trustable.
1:08:23 > 1:08:25'I'm not sure what's going to happen'
1:08:25 > 1:08:28but I'm not going to let anybody throw me under the bus.
1:08:28 > 1:08:30- What do you do, just press power? - Yes, turn that on.
1:08:30 > 1:08:32I've never done this before
1:08:32 > 1:08:34seeing as we've only won twice out of 52 tasks!
1:08:34 > 1:08:35Let me show you how it's done.
1:08:37 > 1:08:39So, they thought the puppets were too complex.
1:08:39 > 1:08:41What do you think of that, Paul?
1:08:42 > 1:08:44Complex in design?
1:08:44 > 1:08:46- IVANKA:- There was too much going on
1:08:46 > 1:08:49so you couldn't have a lot of versatility between scenes.
1:08:49 > 1:08:52So those puppets, it was hard to make them play different personas.
1:08:52 > 1:08:56One was a rocker and the other one, you know, was that woman.
1:08:56 > 1:09:00What do you think, Arsenio? Do you see what they're saying?
1:09:00 > 1:09:03- Yes, absolutely.- Tell me why.
1:09:03 > 1:09:05The puppet I made was a rocker.
1:09:05 > 1:09:10And you can't put a rocker in a news studio or in a drugstore.
1:09:10 > 1:09:11That's true.
1:09:11 > 1:09:14So, I might have boxed myself in with making him a rocker.
1:09:14 > 1:09:16So do you think you should therefore be fired?
1:09:19 > 1:09:20No, I REALLY don't believe that.
1:09:21 > 1:09:23You don't think so?
1:09:23 > 1:09:27I gave my all and I don't see us doing as well if you remove me
1:09:27 > 1:09:30from the equation and I think that I get a few props for that.
1:09:30 > 1:09:34So, Arsenio. Who else is responsible for making the puppets?
1:09:34 > 1:09:38- You made one. Who else? - Teresa made the other.- I see.
1:09:38 > 1:09:40What do you think, Teresa?
1:09:40 > 1:09:42We all made the puppets.
1:09:42 > 1:09:46Like, we all gave our ideas on it and the final call was Paul's.
1:09:46 > 1:09:49What do you think of that, Paul? Whose fault is it?
1:09:53 > 1:09:56- It could be yours as project manager.- Oh, sure could.
1:09:56 > 1:10:01But you know, I kind of look at it as Arsenio had his baby.
1:10:01 > 1:10:03And she had hers to work with.
1:10:03 > 1:10:08So, even though there was some input from everybody,
1:10:08 > 1:10:12the most was from the individual that wanted to play that part.
1:10:12 > 1:10:15Whose fault was it that they were too complex?
1:10:15 > 1:10:17- Who would you blame for that? - I think that...
1:10:19 > 1:10:22..with Teresa and her puppet she was making,
1:10:22 > 1:10:27she just continued to add things onto her puppet.
1:10:27 > 1:10:30- Too much?- Too much. - We all had inputs, you know.
1:10:30 > 1:10:33Like, I didn't approve the fabric without Paul.
1:10:33 > 1:10:36Matter of fact, Paul was the one that picked out the fabric.
1:10:36 > 1:10:40- And we all, like, were...- Do you think Paul should be fired?- Yes.
1:10:41 > 1:10:44- Why?- I mean, I think the three of us were the ones that
1:10:44 > 1:10:47pretty much did everything, he didn't do anything.
1:10:47 > 1:10:50So if we're going to go there, Paul, and talking...
1:10:50 > 1:10:53And don't say about... You said that I don't move quickly.
1:10:53 > 1:10:54Let's not go there.
1:10:54 > 1:10:57Because if anybody doesn't move quickly, it sure is you.
1:10:58 > 1:11:03And Aubrey, you better back me up on this one. Because if not, then...
1:11:03 > 1:11:05Then we won't, you know...
1:11:06 > 1:11:10Paul... Paul was injured. This was not his field.
1:11:10 > 1:11:14So it was more difficult for him to contribute and Teresa...
1:11:14 > 1:11:17- Just this one? - And Teresa did contribute a lot.
1:11:17 > 1:11:19Like, he just sits there.
1:11:19 > 1:11:21That's such an understatement, it's ridiculous.
1:11:21 > 1:11:22Because I'm in business 40 years
1:11:22 > 1:11:25and I didn't get there by sitting on my ass.
1:11:25 > 1:11:26Well, they're not saying that, Paul.
1:11:26 > 1:11:30- They're talking about this task.- No. Yesterday, he even said,
1:11:30 > 1:11:32"I'd rather be riding my motorcycle than be here."
1:11:32 > 1:11:36- The whole day was- BLEEP- this, - BLEEP- that,- BLEEP- this,- BLEEP- that.
1:11:36 > 1:11:38Like, he didn't... We pretty much ran the whole show.
1:11:38 > 1:11:42- I mean, he would say "yes" and "good job".- Did you see that, Paul?
1:11:42 > 1:11:45- Never one time.- You might have said that.- Maybe once.
1:11:45 > 1:11:47- Aubrey, did he say that?- You know... - I can see you saying that.
1:11:47 > 1:11:49- I do say that. - I would have a hard time doing it.
1:11:49 > 1:11:52- I don't think that I said- BLEEP- this,- BLEEP- that.
1:11:52 > 1:11:54- You might have said it. - Well, I'm sure I did.
1:11:54 > 1:11:57- I'll bet you said it, I bet you said it.- I'll bet you were right.
1:11:57 > 1:11:59That's not very motivating for your team.
1:11:59 > 1:12:02- LISA:- How great is Ivanka? The way she knows exactly how to zero in.
1:12:02 > 1:12:04- She is classy smart as- BLEEP.
1:12:04 > 1:12:07- And pretty, that makes me mad! - OTHERS LAUGH
1:12:07 > 1:12:09No-one's prettier than you, Clay!
1:12:09 > 1:12:10Go ahead, Paul.
1:12:10 > 1:12:12I don't think it was in a negative way where...
1:12:12 > 1:12:15- You know, "What do you want to do?" - I love him, don't get me wrong,
1:12:15 > 1:12:18but he's throwing me under the bus, I've got to throw him under the bus.
1:12:18 > 1:12:21No, I'm not. I don't want to throw anybody under the bus.
1:12:21 > 1:12:23I like...all youse.
1:12:23 > 1:12:26I can't, you know... It's hard being in my position.
1:12:26 > 1:12:30- I worked really hard yesterday. - I didn't say you didn't work hard.
1:12:30 > 1:12:31Aubrey, let me ask you this.
1:12:31 > 1:12:36Who is the more valuable team member going forward? Teresa or Paul?
1:12:36 > 1:12:39I have a biased perspective with this answer
1:12:39 > 1:12:40because I've worked with Teresa more.
1:12:40 > 1:12:42So I haven't seen all of Paul's capabilities,
1:12:42 > 1:12:44I've seen all of Teresa's.
1:12:44 > 1:12:46Who would you rather go forward with?
1:12:46 > 1:12:49Here's the thing about Teresa. She has amazing heart.
1:12:49 > 1:12:52She does give 110%, she has...
1:12:52 > 1:12:54I don't even know how many freaking kids you have.
1:12:54 > 1:12:56- Four, five?- Four.- Four.
1:12:56 > 1:12:58And she goes home at night, takes care of the kids,
1:12:58 > 1:13:00comes back here every day.
1:13:00 > 1:13:01She has heart.
1:13:01 > 1:13:04And she has the stamina, more stamina than anyone in this room.
1:13:04 > 1:13:06I have to say that.
1:13:06 > 1:13:08This was not her forte.
1:13:08 > 1:13:11This is a thinking quick, on-your-feet type task.
1:13:11 > 1:13:13So you're saying she doesn't think quick?
1:13:15 > 1:13:17No, she thinks quick but with this specifically though,
1:13:17 > 1:13:20there was a lot of confusion as to the rules of improv
1:13:20 > 1:13:23and that's specifically what the executives did address.
1:13:23 > 1:13:25And one big rule in improv is that you should never...
1:13:25 > 1:13:27- Is she a good member of your team? - I love Teresa.
1:13:27 > 1:13:29Is she a good member of your team?
1:13:29 > 1:13:31Everyone has value on our team.
1:13:33 > 1:13:35All right, well, OK.
1:13:35 > 1:13:39Arsenio, who is the more valuable team member going forward?
1:13:39 > 1:13:40Teresa or Paul?
1:13:41 > 1:13:45- Well, obviously I would have to know what the tasks are.- OK, fair.
1:13:45 > 1:13:48But this guy is very smart. This guy is an engineer.
1:13:48 > 1:13:53When this guy says a millimetre between the fender and the tyre...
1:13:53 > 1:13:56- I know, I've seen his work.- It's that way. And it rubs otherwise.
1:13:56 > 1:13:59- I mean, he's a really bright guy. - So would you say Paul?
1:14:00 > 1:14:02He's a bright guy, yes.
1:14:03 > 1:14:07But is Paul, would you say, a leader or a follower
1:14:07 > 1:14:09at least with respect to this task?
1:14:12 > 1:14:15I think all he did was lead because he couldn't do anything else.
1:14:15 > 1:14:19So he really stepped up as a leader in lieu of being able to
1:14:19 > 1:14:21walk or move or...raise his puppet.
1:14:21 > 1:14:25Paul, I'm going to ask you something right now. Who is going to escape?
1:14:25 > 1:14:28Somebody tonight will not be fired of this group.
1:14:28 > 1:14:29Who is going to escape?
1:14:35 > 1:14:38- Arsenio.- Arsenio? But why?
1:14:39 > 1:14:41Because I think moving forward,
1:14:41 > 1:14:45he brings a lot of versatility to the table
1:14:45 > 1:14:49and I think that he's been a businessperson for a lot of years
1:14:49 > 1:14:53so he has a lot of that history and that's probably the main reason.
1:14:53 > 1:14:57OK, but he did do a puppet and they didn't exactly love it.
1:14:58 > 1:15:01- But you want to say Arsenio? - Yes.- OK.
1:15:01 > 1:15:05Arsenio, congratulations, very good. The rest of you go outside.
1:15:05 > 1:15:09We'll bring you right back. Somebody will be fired.
1:15:19 > 1:15:23Lisa, turn off your TV right now, please. Thank you.
1:15:23 > 1:15:26If he'd have brought Arsenio in, Arsenio would have backed him up
1:15:26 > 1:15:28and they'd have got rid of Teresa.
1:15:28 > 1:15:32Now nobody is on Paul's side because Aubrey already said she'd fire Paul.
1:15:32 > 1:15:35Maybe. Doesn't mean it's going to go down that way.
1:15:36 > 1:15:38Oh, well.
1:15:53 > 1:15:56- Eric, what do you think?- It's going to be a difficult decision.
1:15:56 > 1:15:58Going to be a tough one. What do you think?
1:15:58 > 1:16:02I think Paul, despite my respect for him, seems a little lacklustre.
1:16:02 > 1:16:06- He seems just a bit tired. - OK, we're going to soon find out.
1:16:06 > 1:16:08- Amanda, let them in.- Yes, sir.
1:16:08 > 1:16:11You can all go back into the boardroom now.
1:16:22 > 1:16:24Please sit down.
1:16:29 > 1:16:31Aubrey, why did Paul bring you back?
1:16:31 > 1:16:34I don't know but I think I get to play the Dayana card with this one.
1:16:34 > 1:16:38There is absolutely no reason for me to be in this room right now.
1:16:38 > 1:16:41The executives complimented me, I worked extremely hard.
1:16:41 > 1:16:45I didn't do anything that was a negative in anyone's eyes,
1:16:45 > 1:16:46especially the executives.
1:16:46 > 1:16:50Moving on, I am one of the strongest people here, if not the strongest.
1:16:50 > 1:16:53- And they didn't compliment Arsenio, they didn't like his work.- Right.
1:16:53 > 1:16:56Which is a little strange, that you would bring Aubrey back.
1:16:56 > 1:16:58- Well, he's...- So why did you bring Aubrey back?
1:16:58 > 1:17:01First of all, I think that she did a phenomenal job
1:17:01 > 1:17:03and I think that she...
1:17:03 > 1:17:06And they loved her work, and they didn't love what Arsenio did.
1:17:06 > 1:17:08So shouldn't he have been brought back, in retrospect?
1:17:10 > 1:17:12Are you trying to protect Arsenio for some reason?
1:17:12 > 1:17:14No, not at all, not at all.
1:17:14 > 1:17:16Listen, I have to make business decisions all the time
1:17:16 > 1:17:19and I have to analyse the situation and that's what I'm doing now.
1:17:19 > 1:17:23You asked me why I brought her back opposed to Arsenio.
1:17:23 > 1:17:27- I've been working with Arsenio for...- But here's the thing, look.
1:17:27 > 1:17:29- Go ahead.- It's not so complicated.
1:17:29 > 1:17:31They really thought she did a great job.
1:17:31 > 1:17:33Whether you like it or not,
1:17:33 > 1:17:35they didn't love the work that Arsenio did.
1:17:35 > 1:17:38So it would be more appropriate that he was brought back,
1:17:38 > 1:17:41- don't you think? - Well...if that's the case.
1:17:41 > 1:17:43- Well, that's the case. IVANKA:- That was the case.
1:17:43 > 1:17:45That was the criticism specifically.
1:17:45 > 1:17:47They thought he was great in terms of the puppetry
1:17:47 > 1:17:50but thought that his puppet was ill-designed.
1:17:50 > 1:17:52Aubrey, did Teresa have
1:17:52 > 1:17:54a lot of good ideas for the task or not really?
1:17:57 > 1:18:01Teresa puts all the ideas that she has in her head forward.
1:18:01 > 1:18:04Are they the best? No, not always.
1:18:04 > 1:18:07But she gives an effort every time
1:18:07 > 1:18:10by putting in everything that comes in her head.
1:18:10 > 1:18:12Teresa?
1:18:12 > 1:18:14This one was improv.
1:18:14 > 1:18:16So it's not like we had to come up with any ideas.
1:18:16 > 1:18:18Improv means you're going to have to come up with
1:18:18 > 1:18:20- a lot of ideas, I think. - Right, but...
1:18:20 > 1:18:23And that was your shortcoming, according to the executives.
1:18:23 > 1:18:26But it wasn't like, you know... I disagree with what Aubrey said
1:18:26 > 1:18:29because we lost five tasks out of two with the men.
1:18:29 > 1:18:33- I think she was complimenting you in a weird to sort of way!- I was.
1:18:33 > 1:18:36- You said...- She was saying that had no filter but that you contribute.
1:18:36 > 1:18:39- No, I contribute.- Well, I don't think it was a great compliment.
1:18:39 > 1:18:42- She also said that...- I didn't think it was a compliment either.
1:18:42 > 1:18:45..her ideas are like...she tries real hard, the ideas aren't great.
1:18:45 > 1:18:48- Yeah, I disagree.- I don't think it was a compliment, actually.
1:18:48 > 1:18:50It was a way of bringing up a positive and a negative.
1:18:50 > 1:18:53OK, so it wasn't a compliment, as far as I'm concerned.
1:18:54 > 1:18:56So, Aubrey. Your team lost.
1:18:57 > 1:19:02Paul's a great guy, we know it. But he's also the project manager.
1:19:02 > 1:19:04- Right.- Teresa is very good
1:19:04 > 1:19:07and as you say, good and bad and everything.
1:19:07 > 1:19:12If you're Donald Trump and it's your task to fire somebody,
1:19:12 > 1:19:14of these two, who would you fire?
1:19:21 > 1:19:24I'm going to say Paul and this is why.
1:19:27 > 1:19:31Teresa tried so hard to be good at something
1:19:31 > 1:19:33that she just isn't that great at.
1:19:33 > 1:19:37But she really tried and she really wanted to be good at it.
1:19:37 > 1:19:40And who she is and her perspective of life...
1:19:41 > 1:19:43..I don't think should harm her.
1:19:43 > 1:19:47We just have to find where to utilise it in its best ability.
1:19:47 > 1:19:49Utilising it is a project manager's job.
1:19:49 > 1:19:52- And by the way, she does have some very good talents.- She does.
1:19:52 > 1:19:54Do you agree with that, Paul?
1:19:54 > 1:19:56- Absolutely.- OK. So, go ahead, Aubrey.
1:19:58 > 1:20:01So as far as utilising people's talents,
1:20:01 > 1:20:04that's a project manager's job.
1:20:04 > 1:20:07It wasn't the most organised and also, I think Paul knows it.
1:20:07 > 1:20:10Just, you know, he didn't love this.
1:20:10 > 1:20:14And it wasn't something that he was very passionate about. And...
1:20:14 > 1:20:17- I think that's true.- Yeah. - And maybe that's why you lost.
1:20:19 > 1:20:22What do you think of Aubrey in general, Paul?
1:20:23 > 1:20:27Especially after this task, I think she's an incredible...
1:20:27 > 1:20:29She's artistic.
1:20:29 > 1:20:33I think I found out a lot more about her as far as she was
1:20:33 > 1:20:37a much better team player this time also.
1:20:37 > 1:20:40So, you would think then that if you were me,
1:20:40 > 1:20:41you would not be firing her?
1:20:44 > 1:20:46It would be between you and Teresa?
1:20:48 > 1:20:49Yes.
1:20:51 > 1:20:53Paul, you're the project manager.
1:20:53 > 1:20:56Would you say that you signed off on the work that was done
1:20:56 > 1:20:57and the task itself?
1:21:00 > 1:21:01Yes.
1:21:01 > 1:21:02And as project manager,
1:21:02 > 1:21:05it was really your responsibility to do that?
1:21:05 > 1:21:07Yes.
1:21:07 > 1:21:09And wouldn't you say that in retrospect
1:21:09 > 1:21:14and knowing after our discussion how good the executives
1:21:14 > 1:21:17thought of Aubrey, that you should have probably brought Arsenio back,
1:21:17 > 1:21:20even... I know you like him, I know you think he's...
1:21:20 > 1:21:23- I do too, I think he's good. - I don't agree with that.
1:21:23 > 1:21:26I didn't look at it that way. That I like him.
1:21:26 > 1:21:29- I didn't look at it that way.- That's good, you shouldn't.- Well, I didn't.
1:21:29 > 1:21:32- I can't do that.- But the fact it is they felt he didn't do great.
1:21:32 > 1:21:35And they did feel that Aubrey did great.
1:21:35 > 1:21:37Now, you may disagree with that,
1:21:37 > 1:21:40you may think he's ten times better than Aubrey or anybody else
1:21:40 > 1:21:43and I think you probably feel that he's better than Teresa.
1:21:45 > 1:21:48But the problem is that you're the project manager and you lost
1:21:48 > 1:21:49and you didn't bring Arsenio back.
1:21:49 > 1:21:51Paul, you're fired.
1:21:56 > 1:21:59- Thank you.- Thank you.- Thank you very much.- It's been an honour.
1:21:59 > 1:22:00Thank you. For me too.
1:22:10 > 1:22:13- Good luck. Whatever you do. - Thank you.- All right.
1:22:13 > 1:22:15- I'm out of here.- Thank you.
1:22:15 > 1:22:18- We love you, you're a class act, Paul Sr.- Thank you.- Bye.
1:22:23 > 1:22:24Hello, boss.
1:22:29 > 1:22:34Paul was a great player in his own way but this task was not for him.
1:22:34 > 1:22:38- Yeah, you could see that. I hate to see him go, though.- I do too.
1:22:38 > 1:22:40- Seems like a great man. - He will be missed.
1:23:15 > 1:23:16It's kind of weird being fired
1:23:16 > 1:23:19because I'm usually on the other end of the shoe there.
1:23:19 > 1:23:21You know, I'm the guy that's doing the firing.
1:23:21 > 1:23:26But you know, I've experienced being humbled in my life quite a bit,
1:23:26 > 1:23:28so nothing wrong with that.
1:23:28 > 1:23:31I thought it was a great experience working for Donald.
1:23:31 > 1:23:34I thought he was a pretty stand-up regular guy.
1:23:34 > 1:23:36So for me, it was an honour.
1:23:36 > 1:23:39Something different than I usually do and, you know,
1:23:39 > 1:23:41all good things come to an end.
