It was just a note for the others expecting another Trump roast when they would probably support him more often than not.

Comedian/magician and former "Celebrity Apprentice" contestant Penn Jillette has just pulled a surprising rabbit out of his hat and inserted himself in the did-Donald-Trump-speak-slurs on-"The Apprentice"? controversy roiling Washington again.

Yes, he says, there are tapes from the reality series in which Trump, its host, is heard making racially or sexually inappropriate remarks. And he knows this because, he says, "I was in the room" at the time.

...

He said his experience on the show made it clear that Trump "would be a terrible president, but he was perfect for a reality TV show.

"I said that publicly every chance I got while also saying hes a good reality show," Jillette said. "You want someone capricious and petty and narcissistic to be on your reality show. And boy, I hate to say this, but playing tapes of him doing that job might be unfair. I want those tapes to be used against him, but it might be unfair."

After all, he said, the context for the tapes was television, and "context is really tricky." Still, he added: "I have nothing good to say about Donald Trump as president."
