So, I have this thing I do whenever someone tells me a "knock knock" joke. Instead of saying "who's there?" I'll say something like "come in" or "hang on, I'll get it." It's worth it just to see the look of confusion on the person's face. Then last night I see this exchange between Marge and Charles, a character played by the episode's guest writer, Ricky Gervais:

Charles: Would you like to hear a joke?

Marge: As long as it's not a "knock knock" joke. I always ruin them by saying, "Come in!"

The New York Post is reporting today that the actual winner of The Apprentice: Martha Stewart was Bethenny and not Dawna. They changed the winner at the last minute, as Charles Koppelman's 6 year-old granddaugther told all of the cast members backstage that Martha was going to choose Bethenny, because Martha didn't like Dawna's fashion show. The judges decided to change the winner of the show because of the granddaughter's announcement. This sort of makes you wonder how real the entire process was. I mean, was Dawna the best candidate or not?

This is not a good thing.
