Remember the old playground chant, "First is the worst, second is the best"? This proved to be the case in Season 2 of American Idol when runner-up Clay Aiken outshone winner Ruben Studdard. Between 2003 and his July 2010 summer tour with former rival Ruben, Clay has sold over 4 million copies of his five albums and written a best-selling memoir. Not too shabby for number two! In 2012, he landed a spot on Celebrity Apprentice.
Get ready, Claymates! Clay Aiken will be joining Season 5 of Celebrity Apprentice, reports People. The American Idol Season 2 runner-up will join Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice, funny man Arsenio Hall, and ‘80s sensation Debbie Gibson.
The leader of Clay Nation will no doubt put up a tough fight in the boardroom. As a top-selling recording artist, proud dad, and one of the only contestants with a college degree, Clay’s resume is the most well-rounded of the bunch.
Don’t let the sun go down on Clay, Donald Trump!
