NEW YORK — Rod Blagojevich has been fired again.
The former governor, whom Illinois lawmakers ousted from office last year, has been kicked off NBC’s “Celebrity Apprentice.”
“Apprentice” boss Donald Trump fired him after Blagojevich struggled as team leader in creating an interactive display.
As on a previous episode, technology posed a surprising hurdle for Blagojevich. On Sunday’s show, he had trouble sending text messages and e-mailing.
The 53-year-old Blagojevich today explained his difficulties using cell phones and computers on WLS-AM’s “Don Wade and Roma Morning Show.” He said his generation didn’t grow up with what he called “all that stuff.”
Blagojevich faces a federal indictment alleging political corruption while in office. He’s denied any wrongdoing.
