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

by the way, check out Metstradamus, as john’s recap and opinion of wright’s performance is a must read

    Dwright is a pimp.

  2. napes22 says:

    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?

  4. mhochman says:

    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,

  5. Charlie says:

    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.

      Trust me Charlie, you’re not alone there…

      • dannyb says:

        Um, I think he is…

        • napes22 says:

          Agreed.

        • dannyb says:

          I have been fortunate enough to have been dating a girl who doesn’t think David Wright is that hot, which is a good thing, because we go to Saturday games together and I don’t have to look like a tool while my girlfriend wears a David Wright belly player t-shirt and goes bananas every time he gets up.

          Phew, that was a close one.

        • points guy says:

          Glad to see you take careful note of “girls who wear David Wright belly player t-shirts and go bananas every time he gets up.”

        • dannyb says:

          While some may question my vision (especially on the road), my beer googles, i mean vision at Shea on a summer afternoon is great. I especially like when they have the belly button rings. It screams…dirty.

        • napes22 says:

          Shea is a family park. Save that nonsense for Citifield!

  6. ridethesnake says:

    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).

  8. recoton1 says:

    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…

    • Vinnie says:

      Another moronic post by recolon1. You want him getting drunk all off season. That would be great for his physical conditioning.

    • napes22 says:

      Hey recolon1 – whats the name/number of your supervisor. I want to let him know how valuable you are to the company.

  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.

    • points guy says:

      not with the strike they don’t

      • napes22 says:

        Even the Donald?

      • the_other_matt says:

        this was filmed before the strike…. hence hot dogs being sold on the streets in NYC.

      • itsmetsforme says:

        silly points guy, no one “writes” that show. but i hope people realize that reality tv is staged and this is one step more believable than tila tequilla being a lesbian with natural boobs. obvious I know, but from some of the comments here…

        the only redeeming factor is David spends the entire time looking like he’s going to throttle his agent. He sure is a tiny guy.

        Ah well, good thing she didn’t have Mo Vaughn’s number.

  10. Ken Dynamo says:

    yeah, jennie finch is allright looking

  11. points guy says:

    Honestly, not a big Jenny Finch fan. She has a weird disproportionate look.

    Hottest female athlete? Hmmmm

    I’d go Crystl Bustos, now that’s an athlete.

    • I still think Jenny is pretty hot. She is hotter then Mrs.Benson and without the exploits

    • djbutler says:

      You’d kick Jenny Finch out of bed for eatin’ crackers would ya? I guess your rollin’ with the Hefner models, ‘eh points guy, makin’ it rain at Scores, are ya?

      • Lightweis says:

        I think he’s being sarcastic. Check out Crystl Bustos….I had a good laugh at that one.

        • anditsouttahere says:

          hahaa i know two professional softball players jennie finch and some chad cordero look alike, what are the odds thats who bustos was. that was a good laugh

        • Slob says:

          Chad Cordero lookalike. That’s cold, man.

    • 1DoggLJ says:

      Crystal Bustos is that huge cleanup hitter for the US softball team who hits the ball like 500 feet right? If so, haha.

  12. cver says:

    I could give a damn about this, except I don’t like Wright doing all of this stuff. I’d prefer that the guy concentrates on baseball. I know it’s just a dream of mine – him sleeping in his pajamas with his bat after having a warm glass of milk – the kid is in his early 20’s and has NYC and the world on a string – good for him. I just want to see him hot out of the gate this year. One good thing about the collapse is that I can at least hope that everyone (even though I don’t know if I expect this from Willie) will appreciate that every game truly counts and they’d better play like it.

    • Yeah, He should go take some swings on the coldest day of the year

    • darkstar73 says:

      yeah, if anyone needs their head straightened out, its David Wright, that kid is out of control, he needs a reality check and to refocus on baseball, what a horrible season he had!

      • cver says:

        Hey Mr. Star – Happy New Year. Well, I’ll admit that all of that “extra stuff” that he was doing didn’t really hurt him. I just personally would rather these guys have some sort of personal life in the offseason and stay a bit focused on the upcoming season. It’s cool – he’s a star and he’s enjoying it.

  13. Slob says:

    David Wright’s brain had this to say “Let me buy these people hot dogs so I can get this over with and take Jennie back to my place.”

  14. zen says:

    wright giving out out free hot dogs: a nice tribute to ricky henderson.

  15. MudvilleNine says:

    Did you guys happen to see that the ladies were going to sell the hot dogs and bottled water for $5000 a pop? Now why would they be selling them cheaper than at Shea?

  16. LOL, enough Duaner jokes. They crack me up.

    I have to see this when it reairs. Jennie is pretty awesome. Wasn’t she married to a pitcher who played for the Diamondbacks?

  17. NYMetz6986 says:

    so now wright and piazza have both been part of episodes of the apprentice…i dont really know what to say

  18. shlee says:

    According to Wikipedia, filming for Celebrity Apprentice began in October so regular season baseball was over.

    Course if the Mets had made the playoffs, Wright probably would have never been on Celebrity Apprentice.
