GENE SIMMONS Interviewed On CNBC's 'Mad Money'; Video Available

January 18, 2008

Jim Cramer, host of the "Mad Money" TV show on CNBC, participated in KISS bassist/vocalist Gene Simmons' firing from Donald Trump's NBC show "The Apprentice: Celebrity Edition" after Gene's team lost this week's task, an Eastman Kodak.

Cramer, who was acting as a judge on "The Apprentice", admitted he didn't want to fire Simmons, who the "Mad Money" host said was the best marketer and salesperson among the cast. But Simmons admitted that part of him wanted to get the boot after realizing some of the contestants were less interested in the "entrepreneurial spirit" of the show than being on television.

"In the end, a captain must go down with his ship," Simmons said. But, turning from that modesty, he told Cramer: "I was the best thing on that show, and you know it."
