Gary Busey Thankfully Sticks to Acting on "The Celebrity Apprentice"

On last week's Celebrity Apprentice, Gary Busey proved that it doesn't necessarily take great leadership to score a victory. As long as there are enough other Type-A personalities on the team to pick up the slack, the person who should be guiding a big ticket marketing event can literally stop to bask in the sun for two hours in the middle of organizing. Executives really do get to have all the fun.

Rapper and Apprentice teammate Lil Jon called Busey a fine actor, but "a terrible project manager," and when he was picked as the project manager for Sunday's ACN videophone challenge, he made sure to have Busey stick to his day job.

José Canseco stole the show this episode (while also maintaining his own track record for putting in the minimum amount of effort), but Lil Jon did at least find a role perfect for Busey: the crazy old guy sitting in a purple couch. Other members of Team Backbone still find it hard to get Busey to focus, but when it came down to it, he plays someone's wacky father who's strangely giggly about videophone technology like a pro. It's as if being weird comes as second nature to him, and then in the end, Canseco and he were at least more integral to the team's latest victory.

Congratulations, Busey! Your nonsensical input will live to see another week of primetime television.

    • I love Gary Busey. As a nurse with a neuroscience background that has had many brain injury patients, he is an inspirational man and a gift. I think I am one of few people who get him. I wish his teammates had a better understanding of those who have sufferered brain injury.

    • This just goes to prove the Taoist theory of effortless effort...doing less than nothing. The truth is that all the various actions are not important. The BEING is important. And Garey is a master at that! All his little philosophy lessons and the way he lives are proof! The guy is a genius! Love him!
