Alec Baldwin Knows Not Of Pedestrian Things Like Inkjet Cartridges
On
last night’s episode of NBC’s newest pulse-pounding series,
Sorta-Celebrity Apprentice, Team Hydra and The Other Team found
themselves suddenly plunged into the high stakes world of inkjet
cartridge sales. Ask anyone who works at Staples, that sh*t is NO!
JOKE! For real. Anyway, as we’ve learned through the course of the
first three episodes, the real competition on this show has nothing to
do with who wins a given challenge, it’s all about which
Not-Really-That-Famous-Anymore Celebrity has the most number of famous
digits in their cellphone and is not afraid to use ’em. And last night,
Stephen Baldwin raised the ante somethin’ fierce by putting in a call
to the most famous person that he knows. And no, it wasn’t Billy
Baldwin.
It was Daniel Baldwin! No, just kidding, it was big
brother Alec, who is quickly becoming to NBC what Richard Dawson was to
ABC in the `70s — a consummate team player who’ll show up on any set
so long as the craft service table is kickin’. When Alec (who, btw, was
Bryll Creamed to the MAX) arrived, he acted like all big brothers do
and used the opportunity to get off a few potshots at younger brother
Stephen (example, “There’s no one more full of crap than Stephen”). But
he also proved to be a good sport, too, buying a dozen printer
cartridges at $1,000 per pop even though he has no idea how they work
or what exactly they do. Which is truly amazing, when you think about
it. Does the man not own a home computer and/or printer? Or is he just
rich enough to employ his own indentured Geek Squad on the premises?
File that one under questions to ask if MTV ever reignites their Cribs
franchise.
