Did you learn anything new about yourself from this experience?
thanks suzy… where are you from? we may use your question for Clay
Did you create any lasting friendships with the other contestants or was it all business?
What was your favorite/least favorite part of the Celebrity Apprentice experience?
Who was the bossiest contestant ? The best team player ?
Clay, when will you release some newer pictures of yourself so people will stop using the old pictures that no longer look like you?
For Seth….Curious why you would use ancient pictures of Clay. Some of those pictures are at least 4 years old. Even I can find newer pictures. Why can’t you?
Hi Fred… great question. The answer is we are legally allowed to use a limited number of pictures provided. What a bummer, right?
Are you legally only allowed to use old pictures that don’t even look like him?
From Canby, OR: What do you think is the greatest misperception people have about you? Why?
What was your impression of the Donald? His daughter? His son?
How did you handle being honest with a contestant even if you knew it would hurt thier feelings by your answer, for instance if they were lazy, but they were also someone you respected as a friend.
What did you find to be the most challenging part of Celebrity Apprentice? The individual tasks or working with your teammates? Was there anybody on your team you found it impossible to work with?
Clay…I love your new single, Bring Back My Love. Will there be more new songs this year?
With so much interest in you now more than ever, Internationally as well as in the U.S, Do you think you will ever break out into other countries?More specifically the U.K
Who were you most surprised to find yourself getting along/working well with?
Starke, FL
Favorite challenge on the show? Were you intimidated at the boardroom meetings?
Clay, did you enjoy being on Celebrity Apprentice more, less, or about the same as your time on American Idol?
from San Diego, California
Hi Clay,
What is the name of your charity?
(I hope you win.)
Ask Dee and Clay to do an imPromptu duet. That would be interesting and fun.
For Clay and Dee,
You both come from very different backgrounds in so many different ways. What were you surprised to find you had in common?
GOOD QUESTION!!!
What new things have you learned about yourself while taking part in the Celebrity Apprentice? And can you see yourself incorporating these new things in your daily life?
Do you enjoy New York City? Would you ever consider moving to the city?
ALSO…Please send out your new pictures. These old ones need to be replaced
Clay, what was the most rewarding aspect of working on Celebrity Apprentice?
From Twin Falls, Idaho
Do you feel that you had ample opportunity to raise awareness about the National Inclusion Project and its mission?
Clay, do you still want to host your own talk show?
Clay, what happens to songs that you’ve recorded but don’t make it onto the albums? Are there any specific songs you’ve recorded that you still hope to release?
Clay, I am surprised a person of your vocal talent has not had radio success. Do you feel RCA or Simon Cowell had anything to do with radio not playing your singles?
Excellent question, I too just do not get why Clay does not get heard anywhere in the world. I live in South Africa, what chance have I got, of ever seeing Clay here “LIVE”
Great question. I have often wondered the very same thing.
Dee, When do you expect your Broadway/Heavy Metal CD to be released?
Tougher judge to face…Simon or The Donald
Clay, your new single Bring Back My Love is beautiful. Will this be a single from a forthcoming album?
Also, since your fans enjoy raising funds for The National Inclusion Project, for example wrapping gifts at Christmas, would you consider joining them during a fundraiser?
What advice would you offer to future contestants of Celebrity Apprentice? Was any helpful advice given to you by previous contestants?
Did you do your own hair for this show or were you “helped”???????
Clay, do you have any creative ideas to help promote your new single Bring Back My Love? Maybe a few appearances at radio stations across the country while Celebrity Apprentice airs?
and since the question disappeared, it can be deleted..just leave my other 2 THANK YOU!
Clay…any chance we might see you on Broadway soon. I loved you in Spamalot.
Hey Clay, Will you be going on another UNICEF trip anytime in the near future?
After 8 years how does it feel being back on “reality” TV and in another competition?
Does Clay know that many of his fans have added Dee and Arsenio to their Twitter Feed, searches, etc? #benicetoClay
Clay, do you plan any creative ways to promote your new single Bring Back My Love?
Maybe visit radio stations across the country while Celebrity Apprentice airs?
from Tina S in Cincinnati, Ohio
I hope he gets the promotion he deserves and I hope this question gets answered.
Joy from South Carolina: Clay, Was it an easy or hard decision to participate in Celebrity Apprentice? Why or why not? Would you make the same decision today?
Thanks!
From Baltimore, MD – Clay, you are always so comfortable and confident on TV, but I have a strong feeling it was very nerve-racking for you in the boardroom. Did you get nervous?
What one asset that you possess most helped you on Celebrity Apprentice?
What is one skill that you were suprised to learn that you had during filming? How will you continue to use that skill in your future business endevors?
Clay – Did you do anything during the filming of Celebrity Apprentice (that we will see on TV) that has the potential to embarrass your family or close friends? Come on now – be honest.
What is one skill that you were surprised to learn that you had during filming? How will you continue to use that skill in your future business endeavors?
Were there any fellow contestants that you had a pre-conceived or media based opinion about going into the show? If so, how did they live up to, or change that opinion once you began working with them?
Clay;
1. were your intimidated by anyone on the Celebrity Apprentice?
2. did you find it easy to be pushy and/or in charge?
It has been 9 years since you have been on reality television. Are there any skills or assets in particular that you learned on your American Idol journey that you feel helped you or gave you an advantage in this reality competition?
Also an excellent question!
For both Dee & Clay. Celebrity Apprentice involves working on behalf of a charitable organization. Do you feel that the national exposure is just as important as any money that may be raised? What was your thought process in selecting your individual charities?
I have always thought of you as a rather tenacious individual (in a good way). Do you feel that this characteristic was of benefit to you in Celebrity Apprentice. I know in the podcast, Adam called it “chutzpah” (sp?) …. but somehow tenacity fits you better. I know he meant it in a good way too
Do you think you will ever make another Music Video? If not why?
Do you think your fans will be surprised by the “Clay Aiken” that they see on Celebrity Apprentice?
Clay, this is your second Reality TV show. Will you be on any more, or does that depend on the outcome of Celebrity Apprentice?
Clay, was being on Celebrity Apprentice more fun, or hard work?
Clay, I really enjoy listening to your new song, Bring Back My Love. On Amazon, it is listed twice.
Is one of the listings going to turn into a full CD of songs with this same production? This is your best yet.
Did any of your past job experiences (before Idol) help you with any of the tasks on Celebrity Apprentice? Would you participate in any other Celebrity Reality shows for your charity? Ex: Celebrity Jeopardy, Celebrity Wheel of Fortune, Celebrity Survivor/Amazing Race, Dancing With the Stars, Celebrity Fear Factor. What network shows would you like to guest star in on a regular basis (not just one episode)? Ex: Harry’s Law, The Firm, Law & Order, a regular correspondent on the Today Show, Parenthood, Days of our Lives, the new NBC show Smash, Criminal Minds, or 30 Rock (again).
Hi Clay! Did you find the Boardroom easier or harder than the American Idol judging?
Dee and Clay — any chance you’ll sing together during (or even after) the show? #whatfun
Hey Clay! What made you decide to participate on Celebrity Apprentice? And how is it different or similar to your American Idol experience?
Good luck, we’re all rooting for you!
Clay, having experienced Celebrity Apprentice and going through the fun and STRESS of it all. Would you recommend it to any of your Celebrity friends? Thanks!
Hi Clay!!
My question is of these three tv experiences which did you like best and why!? (hah it’s lime a test)
1) American Idol
2) Your Christmas special (bad fan, forgot the name of it)
3) Celebrity Apprentice
Thanks and I cannot wait to see you in action!! Woot what a great winter this will be!
Hi Clay!!

Clay:
What are the chances of us seeing a good old fashioned, pepsi machine banging, hissy fit!?!
Dee:
How the heck is your hand!? Will it be or is it 100% Will we see what happened to it on the show?! #deemate4life.
After your experience on the show do you feel you will keep in contact with any of your new celebrity friends?
Clay and Dee, what surprised you the most about each while working together on the Apprentice?
Clay, however far you got on Celebrity Apprentice and however many boardrooms you lived thru, how did Donald Trump stack up to Simon Cowell in the scare factor?
Did anyone tell you that you are much taller than they thought? (K know that some other male contestants are REALLY tall.)
Clay, I’m a North Carolina native and just last year I joined the U.S. Army. I have just been stationed at Ft. Wainwright, AK. Do you think you’ll ever make Fairbanks a touring location in the future?
For Clay and/or Dee, If you could have had one of the female contestants on the men’s team, who would have wanted and why?
Good question!
If you were to create your own Celebrity Apprentice challenge, what would you have the contestants do? And who in this season would most likely win your challenge? (besides you, of course, since that’s probably a given… or is it?
Had you watched Celebrity Apprentice before your appearance and ,if so, has your opinion of the show changed, now that you’ve been a contestant?
did you talk politics with Donald Trump?
For both Dee and Clay….
1). Of all the contestants on Celebrity Apprentice, which one surprised you the most, personality-wise?
2). During this experience, is there anything that you learned about yourself that surprised you?
Since Celebrity Apprentice is taped in advance, and obviously you know how far you got in the contest, but we don’t (and I guess you are sworn to silence)….just wondering did you ever think altho of course you want to win for your charity, that you also want to win to once and for all eliminate the constant “Clay Aiken, runner up” description whenever you are introduced or discussed.
Clay, would you rather perform on Broadway or be a regular in the tv series and would you like to play a villian which would be somewhat out of character for you. Right?
JMO, but I don’t think questions about Celebrity Apprentice can be answered at this time.
Clay, I really love your new single Bring Back My Love — is there a chance you would do a video to support it? thanks.
That would be great! I hope you do!
I really enjoy your Christmas music. Any chance you will record another holiday album and tour to support it? It isn’t Christmas without carols by Clay Aiken
Clay, I’ve seen lots of tweets of people commenting about adorable Parker is. Is it possible that in the very near future your fans will be able to get a glance of him. Also is there a follow up Cd to that beautiful single “Bring Back My Love”?
Since you are not a morning person, how did you manage to get up each day and get going?
Clay, had you watched Celebrity Apprentice prior to going on the show?
Do you expect to gain any business savvy from this experience?
Clay.. what has been most rewarding in your role as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador of Education?
Did you do anything in preparation for being on Celebrity Apprentice? I heard Piers Morgan say that he read every book Donald Trump had written.
Re: Your experience of participating in Celebrity Apprentice: What was the most challenging? The easiest? The most surprising? The most frustrating? The most rewarding? The most fun? The least fun?
Celebrity Apprentice seems to require quite a bit of quick decisions. Would you describe your real life decision making processes as likewise going with your first instinctive solution or do you change your mind back and forth before making a move?
How mentally and physically demanding was Celebrity Apprentice? Was it 50/50 or did you find it more one than the other?
Clay, when will you start tweeting?
Does Parker get along well with Raleigh and Durham?
Do you think you will host and sing on Saturday Night Live extremely soon? Will the great, new song “Bring Back My Love” receive the radio airplay it truly deserves? It is a fabulous song.
Clay, tell us something interesting about Dee and vice versa, Dee please tell us something interesting about Clay.
Please also tell us about the charities that you both are playing for.
BTW, THANK YOU SETH FROM NBC BUZZ!
Clay: Would love to see you on Jimmy Kimmel Live again. You and he were really funny together. Any chance you could do another Valentine’s show with him? I still laugh at the candy heart song you sang. You have been missed!!
Clay;
What is your next project, hopefully it will be a CD and concerts to go with it.
Clay…were you able to use any of the attitude and blunt truth that you might have learned from Simon Cowell, to your advantage in the boardroom. You know how he could look you straight in the eye and tell you that you did a horrible job….were you able to adapt that?
Hi Clay, What project was the most challenging for you and did you discover anything new about yourself from completing it?
Clay, would you advise other celebrities with charitable affiliations to do Apprentice in the future?
How hard for you was the decision to participate in Celebrity Apprentice, and do you know who you are competing with/against before you sign on the dotted line?
Clay, here are several questions:
You have often said you are not really a competitive person. Did you enjoy the competition of “Celebrity Apprentice”? Were you able to discover anything you didn’t realize about your own competitive spirit?
Of all the tasks your team was given, which was your least favorite?
What was the funniest thing that happened to you during the filming of this competition?
Of all the contestants on the show, whose personality is most similar to yours?
During your down time, what were some of the things you did for rest and relaxation?
You seem like a person that likes to be in charge did you find it hard to be directed in the challenges.
Did you find it challenging working on the assigned activities with a group of people that you barely knew. In a situation like this did you learn to trust and make friends quickly to keep ahead of the other contestants.
Looking forward to the show and will be cheering for you.
do you think that growing up in an internet/technology time gave you an advantage over some the other contestants that are older than you?
Clay, how far in advance of taping Celebrity Apprentice did you know you would be on the show?
How did you manage the short sleep hours and heavy schedule day after day? Was it just a matter
of getting used to it or was it a struggle? Is your Mom still being sedated to be able to sleep
in anticipation of your antics on the show?
Clay, since you have expressed a desire to do a t.v talk show, has this only increased your desire?
Clay and Dee;
What was your most challenging task on this show? physically /mentally or strategically?
from Tina in Cincinnati, Ohio
To Clay and Dee,
Would you consider trading hair/clothing/musical singing styles for a day and see what happens? That could be fun!
Clay,
How intimidating was it to sit across from Donald Trump in the boardroom and respond to his questions? Also, which celebrity did you find it hardest to work and communicate with, and which did you find the easiest to relate to and work with?
Well, Clay, now that you have done so many amazing things, are you considering participating in the Amazing Race? I thought at one time you mentioned that you would like that challenge!!! Sue M.
From Japan
as a project manager who should raise a lot of money, do you ever consider to call Simon cowell asking him to be your source of danation?
In your experience on Celebrity Apprentice, did you feel that ANYONE was fired unfairly?
