Note: D’Wright on Celebrity Apprentice
By Matthew Cerrone - Jan 4, 2008 10:15 am

According to dozens of readers, David Wright made an appearance on last night’s premiere episode of Celebrity Apprentice on NBC.

Here is what happened, according to one reader…

“The teams were competing to make the most money from selling hot dogs in NYC, so some of them called some high-profile contacts to try to get them to come down and make donations.  One of the contestants is Jennie Finch, the softball pitcher, and she had David’s number and called him.  He came down and bought out the rest of the hot dogs the women’s team had in their cart.”

The episode will repeat on CNBC this Saturday, January 5, at 8 pm and 11 pm.

…though i have never watched a single episode of the show, i actually worked on Season Five of The Apprentice…it was a horrible, but entertaining experience…anyway, here is a clip from david’s appearance

…so, i guess david carries enough cash around with him to by two entire cart’s worth of hot dogs, which is weird…actually, the whole thing felt weird…is it me, or did it come across like he had no interest in being there, and just wanted to get out of dodge as quick as he could

    So much for my comments about David Wright not being a media whore. I guess I should expect it though, it is New York.

  3. napes22 says:

    Wait, is Wright short or is Jennie Finch really tall?

    Notice they never say how much David paid for the rest of the dogs. and it couldnt have been that much, since Marilu’s donations were $11,000 and they only had a total of $17,000 and they’d already taken in at least $3,000 in cash by the time David showed up.

    I’m just glad i had the show on, Not a big fan of The Apprentice, but there was nothing else on and i was waiting for ER,

    Jennie Finch is 6′ 1″, so I’m guessing either she was wearing shoes that made her taller or David was wearing flip flops or David is 6′ even.

    David made the absolutely best out of a very strange situation. He was essentially forced into a decision of selling hot dogs to strangers or just buying all the dogs himself and donating the match to charity. He’s a classy guy.

    And yes, much to my wife’s amusement, I have a man-crush on David Wright.

    Too bad she didn’t have Duaner Sanchez’s number.

  7. Mexworshipper says:

    I would guess that DW made the appearance because of who called him.

    Let’s face it, 99% of all men would go just about anywhere if they were asked to by a beautiful athletic woman (one that they haven’t hit yet).

    Another black eye for the organization… This guy should be on a secluded island getting drunk everyday until the season starts to get it out of his system… not appearing on hack television shows catering to the lowest common denominator…

  9. the_other_matt says:

    Not to break your bubble, but reality shows have writers and scripts (to a certain extent). So if you think DW just happened to be available and willing, think again.
