Overall, John Rich had a great run on Celebrity Apprentice, playing fairly and keeping himself removed from the drama that erupted from time to time.

In this Today show video, John Rich talks about winning Celebrity Apprentice 2011 and how he believed his “body of work” on the series helped him win.

Read Donald Trump’s full statement about why he decided being president wasn’t for him:

“After considerable deliberation and reflection, I have decided not to pursue the office of the Presidency. This decision does not come easily or without regret; especially when my potential candidacy continues to be validated by ranking at the top of the Republican contenders in polls across the country. I maintain the strong conviction that if I were to run, I would be able to win the primary and ultimately, the general election. I have spent the past several months unofficially campaigning and recognize that running for public office cannot be done half heartedly. Ultimately, however, business is my greatest passion and I am not ready to leave the private sector.

I want to personally thank the millions of Americans who have joined the various Trump grassroots movements and written me letters and e-mails encouraging me to run. My gratitude for your faith and trust in me could never be expressed properly in words. So, I make you this promise: that I will continue to voice my opinions loudly and help to shape our politician’s thoughts. My ability to bring important economic and foreign policy issues to the forefront of the national dialogue is perhaps my greatest asset and one of the most valuable services I can provide to this country. I will continue to push our President and the country’s policy makers to address the dire challenges arising from our unsustainable debt structure and increasing lack of global competitiveness. Issues, including getting tough on China and other countries that are methodically and systematically taking advantage of the United States, were seldom mentioned before I brought them to the forefront of the country’s conversation. They are now being debated vigorously. I will also continue to push for job creation, an initiative that should be this country’s top priority and something that I know a lot about. I will not shy away from expressing the opinions that so many of you share yet don’t have a medium through which to articulate.

I look forward to supporting the candidate who is the most qualified to help us tackle our country’s most important issues and am hopeful that, when this person emerges, he or she will have the courage to take on the challenges of the Office and be the agent of change that this country so desperately needs.

Thank you and God Bless America!

Donald J. Trump”

That left John Rich and Marlee Matlin to work on Celebrity Apprentice’s finale task, a retro ad campaign for 7Up.

What did you think about Lil Jon and Meat Loaf getting fired? Lil Jon did himself in, it seemed, and Meat Loaf proved that he’s just too emotional when he started sobbing after The Donald told him he was fired.

Fallon, as Trump, says, “President Obama is so scared of me and so desperate for attention that he felt the need to hunt down and kill Osama bin Laden right in the middle of my show. Classic Obama move.”

Then, in true Trump fashion, he takes credit for the bin Laden kill: “The president clearly coordinated this secret CIA mission, assassination, and ensuing press conference specifically to cut off the end of my show, ‘The Celebrity Apprentice… So basically, I killed Osama bin Laden. So congratulations to me, Donald Trump.”

See the Obama birth certificate photo below…

Watch Donald Trump’s press conference video in New Hampshire to see Trump’s reaction to Obama’s birth certificate.

Trump says, “Honestly, I’m very proud that I was able to bring this to a point… nobody else was.”

So, yes… Obama was born in Hawaii. His mother was 18 and his father was 25.

Looks like Jackson is holding Star Jones 100% responsible as project manager. Were you surprised to see La Toya get fired this week?

LaToya Jackson also talks highly of Donald Trump’s plan to run for president.

Celebrity Apprentice fans wondered how long Gary Busey would last in this competition, given his… well… odd ways.

Gary Busey served as team Backbone’s project manager this week – the team were completely disorganized in planning a 20 minute cooking demonstration.

The Gary Busey elimination should make Meat Loaf very happy… but I’d say Meat will be the next to go.

Watch this Today show follow up video to see Cosby’s diss on Trump… Donald Trump released a statement in response to Bill Cosby:

“The other day on The Today Show, right after I was interviewed by Meredith Vieira, a terrific person and reporter, I happened to watch Bill Cosby who was on at the end of the show. While I have never been a fan of Cosby’s, I had always assumed he liked or respected me because every time I met him—the last time at the David Letterman show where I preceded him as a guest—he was always so nice, saying “let’s get together”—asking me out to dinner, and being polite to the point of offering to buy me a suit because he has a “great tailor.”

I wish he would be more honest, and if he doesn’t want me to run because he’s obviously an Obama fan, he should state the reasons and not come into my “green room” in front of numerous witnesses and treat me like his best friend, only to denigrate me when I’m not around. Sadly, he got more attention talking about me than he did on the merits of his own appearance—maybe he is not as dumb as I thought.”

Donald Trump says he can’t announce his run for president until Celebrity Apprentice is over.

Meredith Vieira asks Trump why he won’t get off the Obama birth certificate issue – and Trump gets pretty heated, saying, “He spent $2 million in legal fees trying to get away from this issue,” calling it “one of the greatest scams in the history of politics” if Obama was not born in this country.

Trump wraps things up by saying, “I love this country, but this country is going to hell. I would run a great, great country.”
