KISS Frontman Gene Simmons, Self-Proclaimed 'King of All Women,' Gets Fired by Donald Trump after he Fails to Lead the Ladies Team to a Victory

January 18, 2008 (NBC) In last night's episode, KISS Front man Gene Simmons was the third celebrity fired by Donald Trump, after he failed to lead the women's team to a victory; the boardroom gets heated as he disagrees with Ivanka's assessment of his management of the task, but she beats him in the boardroom on this occasion having the final say...

...Each team was given the task of creating and operating a mobile printing station for Kodak.

For the fourth task, the remaining celebrities are challenged with the task to run a one-day Broadway ticket booth under the biggest time crunch thus far, and the celebrities work feverishly, hawking tickets on the street. The teams are given eight Broadway Shows to choose from as they try their best at negotiating which four each team would sell. Two celebrities begin the task on the wrong foot, with a bitter argument. Piers Morgan tries to increase sales by dressing up in a knight's costume to sell tickets to 'Spamalot.' In the end, the team that makes the most money from ticket sales wins, and one celebrity is fired on Thursday, January 24 (9:00 PM ET/PT).

In next week's episode, as the competition gets heated, David Hyde Pierce shows up in support of an old celebrity friend.

Trump's eyes and ears on the task are his daughter Ivanka and Vince McMahon (Chairman of The World Wrestling Entertainment).

Tiffany Fallon, Nadia Comaneci were the first two celebrities fired by Donald Trump. The remaining celebrity "candidates" competing for charity are: Trace Adkins, Carol Alt, Stephen Baldwin, Jennie Finch, Nely Galan, Marilu Henner, Lennox Lewis, Piers Morgan, Omarosa, Tito Ortiz, and Vincent Pastore.

"The Celebrity Apprentice" is produced by Mark Burnett Productions in association with Trump Productions LLC. Mark Burnett, Donald Trump are executive producers, Eden Gaha and Page Feldman are co-executive producers.
