Posted by OC TV Fan on 12-13-04 at 01:51 PM
from our friends at NBCMV.COM who broke the final two spoiler last week we now learn that Regis will be hosting the live finale for his pal the "Trumpster" The finale is getting cheesier and cheesier by the minute, especially if there is a surprise return of Omorrosa.

DONALD TRUMP "HIRES" REGIS PHILBIN TO CO-HOST "THE APPRENTICE" CAST REUNION DURING NBC'S THREE HOUR FINALE ON DECEMBER 16 (8PM-11PM ET)

MUSIC LEGEND TONY BENNETT PLUS NBA STARS DIKEMBE MUTOMBO, MICHAEL FINLEY, HALL OF FAMER BOB LANIER FEATURED IN FINAL TASKS

NEW YORK -– December 13, 2004 – "Trumpster" and Regis will be together again during NBC's three hour "Apprentice" finale event on December 16 from 8pm-11pm ET. Regis will co-host a portion of the live telecast from Lincoln Center's Alice Tully Hall including the cast reunion. Either Jennifer Massey or Kelly Perdew will be appointed Donald Trump's next "Apprentice" during the broadcast.

"Regis Philbin has been one of my closest friends for more than 20 years. He is a legend in the business and I personally invited him to join me in hosting 'The Apprentice' three hour finale," said Donald Trump. "It will be great to incorporate his expertise at hosting live events and I know we are also going to have fun together."

"I'm very happy that NBC asked me to be a part of the 'Apprentice' finale," said Regis Philbin. "It's one of the biggest shows of the year and I'm honored to be with my pal Donald Trump, the hottest guy in the business. Me and the Trumpster, what a team."

Also featured in the taped portion of the finale are Tony Bennett, NBA Commissioner David Stern, Bob Lanier and 16 of the NBA's rising stars. Bennett throws a kink into Kelly's organization of The Genworth Trump Polo Cup with a last minute benefit performance while Jennifer struggles to wrangle 16 NBA stars for The Genworth Charity Basketball Classic and is missing a host for her event. "Fired" Apprenti John, Raj and Elizabeth worked for Kelly and Pamela, Chris and Stacy R. were hired by Jennifer.

The 16 NBA stars featured on "The Apprentice" are: Shandon Anderson, Jason Collins, Juan Dixon, Michael Finley, Drew Gooden, Larry Hughes, Mark Jackson, Brevin Knight, Corey Maggette, Amal McCaskill, Dikembe Mutombo, Morris Peterson, Tayshaun Prince, Kareem Rush, Amare Stoudemire and Dwayne Wade.

I agree. Regis is so over-exposed. I just wish he would go away for awhile.

Speaking of overexposed...

I read this morning that Regis will also be filling in for D!ck Clark on New Year's Eve, due to Clark's stroke.


Edited b/c apparently Mr. Clark's first name looks like this "#####" when typed correctly!

not good for what is real/or your soul!!

Sooo... a TV show like The Apprentice (or an entertainer like Regis Philbin, if that's what you meant) should be what is real & good for your soul?

I fail to see the point in your comparison with the Catholic Church. It is a TV show!


Mon Dieu, Mon Cherie... c'est magnifique!!!

Hmmm, looks like Chris Webber really DID pull out of the charity basketball event, as he is not listed with the NBA players...

Oh yes, YUCK!! on the Regis appearance. I just want to live my life without him in it.

<Regis

What is it with his popularity?! I find him insipidly egotistical and B-O-R-I-N-G.

Trump can't really hold his own for a 3-hour show. It was difficult for him last time when it was at the SNL studio, if you remember. He simply read cue cards in a very wooden fashion. So if nothing else, we have a chance to hear this:

Trump: Blah, B.S. explanation, Blah, blah, JENN, YOU'RE HIRED.
Regis: Is that your final answer?

LOL

I thought Regis looked hilarious in his makeup. I was laughing because he looked like he was painted like a clown.
