Stand-up comedian Carol Leifer, who’s become one of Hollywood’s most respected writers — Seinfeld, anyone? — and producers will join fellow comedian Sinbad, who, thanks to a new Comedy Central stand-up special and DVD, is back on the comedy world’s radar. But how will they fair against the other semi-famous types on Donald Trump’s Celebrity Apprentice when it premieres March 14 on NBC?

Last season, legendary comedian Joan Rivers won the whole shebang; comedians Tom Green and Andrew “Dice” Clay also participated, though they were, not surprisingly, tossed off fairly early. This season, Leifer and Sinbad are pitted against the likes of former baseball star Darryl Strawberry, Poison frontman turned reality star Bret Michaels and former Illinios Governor/lying douchebag Rod Blagojevich.

Of course, we’ll be pulling for the comedians to lead the pack; all money earned goes to charity. For now, check out Carol’s and Sinbad’s video contestant profiles below.
