Carolyn Kepcher FIRED!

One of the best parts of The Apprentice won’t be returning for the LA season:

August 31, 2006 — CAROLYN KEPCHER, Donald Trump’s co-star on “The Apprentice,” has heard him say “You’re fired!” for the last time – because this time he said it to her, sources told The Post.

The icy, 36-year-old blonde – who was running the Trump National Golf Club in Briarcliff in Westchester and helping supervise the Trump National in Bedminster, N.J. – was let go earlier this week.

“She became a prima donna,” said one insider. “Being on ‘The Apprentice’ went to her head. She was no longer focused on business. She was giving speeches for $25,000 and doing endorsements.”

Kepcher – who is married and has a son, Connor, 6, and a daughter Cassidy, 4 – had agents at ICM handling book and TV offers, and Westport Entertainment weighing speaking engagements and endorsements. She came out two years ago with a book, “Carolyn 101: Business Lessons from ‘The Apprentice’s’ Straight Shooter.”

Insiders say that when Trump tried to reach her recently, she was off on a trip to make a speech. Another time, while giving a tour of the pro shop at the Briarcliff club, she didn’t seem to know the prices on any of the merchandise.

Ouch… Ivanka is very good, but come on Donald… Carolyn? You let her go? I imagine people are gonna enjoy looking at Ivanka a lot more (I certainly will…) but Carolyn’s complete disassembly of incompetent Apprentice candidates made the show a classic.

I’m not pleased. Anyone else watch the show anymore? What do you think?

    I think Carolyn will be successful at whatever she does. It is too bad that the network did not fire “The Apprentice” from its lineup. What a boring show.

    It’s CAROLYN. I respect both Donald Trump and Carolyn Kepcher very much, but if I had to take a side on this, I’d pick Trump’s side. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll definitely miss seeing Carolyn on the next season’s The Apprentice, but I agree with Trump, she let it go to her head. I wish her the best of luck with all her future jobs, because she’ll have a bunch of good ones in the near future.

    I don’t think the Apprentice is worth watching without Carolyn and George! Please…Donalds kids…coaching 30-35 year olds..who’ve had more experience…outside of daddys world!

    Carolyn and George were a breath of fresh air..and it was great to be able to watch these 2 interact with the contestants…because they earned their positions with Trump, not by birthrite!

    donald, you could have talked to her and told her you were not happy with her new undertakingsand asked her to do it on her own time. i can see you not wanting her to take away from her duties at her job but she was great on the show…maybe just keep her on the show because i love the way she took the idiots down on the air…she was great, the best at it…..but fired???? no, no, no you were wrong…dead wrong…and whats up with martha…you know she is an ingreat, why would you ever have gotten involved with her???? now you 2 are going at it in the public, you both sound like idiots and are making people choose sides….wrong again…sit down with her and both shut your mouths to the press….
