Scott Hamilton talks ‘Celebrity Apprentice’

celebrity_apprentice_groupOlympic figure skater Scott Hamilton is going for the gold this fall on NBC’s “The Celebrity Apprentice” but he’s afraid his competitive streak might get the best of him.

“I saw what happened the year before with a lot of people getting so caught up physically and mentally,” Hamilton said recently from his Nashville home. “My biggest fear was that I’d somehow get caught up in the game and misrepresent myself, my faith and my family.”

Among the 16 celebrities pitted against each other to do business tasks to raise money for a charity of their choice are former NBA bad boy Dennis Rodman, country music’s Clint Black, TV personalities Khloe Kardashian and Joan Rivers, former NFL star Herschel Walker, and comics Andrew Dice Clay and Tom Green.

“What they’re asking these celebrities to do is next to impossible,” he said. “You’ve got 24 hours to come up with something that would normally take a professional agency months and millions of dollars to do.”

Hamilton chose the Cleveland Clinic as the beneficiary of his efforts.

“Everybody asks, ‘What’s your strategy?’” he said. “The only strategy I have is to win every task.”

“The Celebrity Apprentice” premieres Sunday on NBC.
