Andrew Dice Clay lived up to his reputation as one to never hold back his thoughts, no matter how inappropriate they may be, causing the comedian and former Dice Undisputed star to become the first candidate fired by Donald Trump during last night's NBC broadcast of The Celebrity Apprentice's second-season premiere.

The Celebrity Apprentice's second-season premiere episode began with The Donald arriving at the USS Intrepid -- a retired Navy battleship located in midtown Manhattan -- on a private helicopter to meet with the 16 celebrities that, like the show's first installment, would be competing on the behalf of their favorite charitable causes instead of a position working in Trump's organization.

The female team -- consisting of LPGA golfer Natalie Gulbis; professional poker player Annie Duke; Deal or No Deal suitcase model Claudia Jordan; Keeping up with the Kardashians star Khloe Kardashian; comedienne Joan Rivers and her daughter, former I'm a Celebrity - Get Me Out of Here! contestant Melissa Rivers; actress/model and former Fear Factor contestant Brande Roderick; and TLC music group member Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins -- wasted no time in naming Joan as the project manager because of her status as the oldest member on the team. "I'm the only one in there without a tampon in my pocketbook so they just deferred to me," she quipped later.

After tossing around team names such as "Phoenix," and "Ballbusters," the team took a liking to Annie's suggestion that they name themselves "Athena," after the Greek Goddess of wisdom and the "more disciplined side of war." The male team -- consisting of Andrew; country singer Clint Black; comedian Tom Green; Olympic figure skating champion and former Skating with Celebrities judge Scott Hamilton; former Monster Garage star Jesse James; R&B singer Brian McKnight; retired NBA basketball player and former Celebrity Mole Yucatan winner Dennis Rodman; and retired NFL football player Herschel Walker -- were somewhat less organized in their decision-making.

After tossing around team names such as "VIP Enterprises" and "FUBAR," the men decided to shift gears and name a project manager, a responsibility Herschel volunteered to take on. He then chose "Kings Of The Universe," or KOTU, as the team name. During the decision making process, Scott expressed early concern in Andrew's ability to function on the team and questioned his work ethic after he spent much of the meeting complaining that Trump had not supplied them with bagels to eat.
