Ever since he was arrested on federal corruption charges in December of 2008, former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich has vowed to fight the charges and unveil the truth. But how to fight the constant cracks about his now-famous hairdo? Get on camera with a guy with hair that's even more ridiculed.
That might not exactly be the reason Blagojevich decided to participate in this season of The Celebrity Apprentice-- he's on the show to benefit a charity that fights pediatric cancer-- but he and the show's boss Donald Trump do make quite the pair. I got the opportunity to talk to Blagojevich last fall, the day before this season began filming, when everyone had a game plan to win and no one had started fighting yet. He talked about the differences between his Celebrity Apprentice co-stars-- a collection of athletes, actors, comedians and TV personalities-- and politics, and described his game plan for staying out the notorious fights that happen every season of the show. Check out our ten-minute video interview below, and watch the former Governor every Sunday on NBC on The Celebrity Apprentice. |
