Like hell it won’t. She was one of the best parts of the show. :mad:

Bummer. She was my favorite person on the show.

Maybe someone will offer Carolyn a show-biz opportunity of her own. I’d vote for her over Katie Couric as the anchor of the CBS Evening News. And I bet she’d be an interesting addition to “Desperate Housewives.” She could even play a Goa’uld overlord on “Stargate: SG-1.” The possibilities are endless.

The rest of the quote:

> Her leave-taking will have no impact on the upcoming sixth season of “The Apprentice,” originating for the first time from Los Angeles, NBC said. Though production is completed, Kepcher was not part of the cast, which includes Trump children Ivanka and Donald Jr. It begins airing in January.

They already filmed the whole season without her. Therefore, her getting fired won’t actually affect anything at all.

Well poo. I swear I read the whole link. When I read that the show wouldn’t be affected, my eyes must have glossed over. Yeah that’s it. 😉

The donald must have thought she was stealing some of his thunder.
