I gotta say, Assaroma's fifteen minutes of fame is passing by w-a-a-y too slowly for me. It has been particularly difficult to endure - I keep hoping I've seen the last of her but she keeps popping up.

Did you see Kwame on Greta's show?

He said he got a job offer right at the Apprentice after-show party from Mark Cuban. It's for $150K.

It looks like Kwame Jackson, the runner-up on the final episode of NBC's The Apprentice for a "huge job" with egomaniac real-estate developer Donald Trump, won't have to learn anything about fast-food chicken after all.

According to Extra!, Mark Cuban, the billionaire owner of the Dallas Mavericks NBA team, made a "huge job offer" to Kwame after Bill Rancic was hired by Trump instead of Kwame. Kwame told Extra! that Cuban had waited for hours at The Apprentice after-show cast party before finally cornering Kwame so that he could make the offer.

Kwame is still "deciding" whether to accept but notes that he is "just flattered that [Cuban] waited around for me." As he should be. In a Forbes online poll, Cuban was second choice as the billionaire that respondents would most like to work for, with 18% of the vote (first was Oprah Winfrey, with 32%), while Trump was second choice as the billionaire that respondents would least like to work for, with 22% (Leona Helmsley was first with 29%).

Considering that Cuban is in the process of starting his own reality TV show, The Benefactor for ABC, we wonder whether he really wants to pick Kwame's brain about The Apprentice creator/producer Mark Burnett's production techniques. If this is a real offer, however, Kwame would appear to have come out on top, even if Bill got the job with Trump.
