A Hit of Deja Vu in The Office

So this post is for the seven of you that watched the premiere of The Apprentice: The Economy Forced Me to Hang With Donald Trump EDITION.
Who's who?

In the premiere, we meet some very interesting characters, most of whom have been subject to losing their jobs over the past couples of years due to the, you guessed it, the bad economy. I really like this premise because instead of giving someone who has a stable job situation a promotion, Trump is at least allowing some people to show off their skills give them a shred of hope for the future. But let me just say that the first person kicked off, a woman named Nicole, was absolutely the right choice, solely because she said that instead of not having a job, she actually graduated from college and had many job options open to her and that she was in a great position in life. That's wonderful! But you shouldn't be on this show. And now you're not. So everything is right in the reality TV world. And I digress.

Or at least it was until a cast member named David came along. He's a 40-something man with a background telecommunications, who lost his job, and as a result his marriage to a wife with whom he had several kids. It's an endearing story and I would have felt for the guy...had he not been a spitting image of Andy (pre-anger management classes) from The Office. He behaves exactly like Andy and even bears a striking resemblance to him. On top of that, he is completely unprofessional and just uncomfortable to watch. Look at the clips below (one of David and one of Andy) and see for yourself.
