After surviving for weeks longer than many (including comedian Lisa Lampanelli) thought he would, Incredible Hulk star Lou Ferrigno was fired by Donald Trump on Sunday night's Celebrity Apprentice.

Aubrey O'Day was back and part of a team that included Arsenio Hall, Clay Aiken and Paul Teutul Sr., with Teresa Giudice as project manager.

Dayana Mendoza was project manager of a team that included Lampanelli, Penn Gillette and Ferrigno. The task was to create a 60-second commercial promoting Entertainment.com.

Trump announced that both teams produced well-done commercials, but Giudice's team fell short, prompting Lampanelli and Ferrigno to really go at each other. And even though Mendoza was project manager, Ferrigno took the fall for his lack of contributions to the task-aaand for admitting he liked the other team's ad better.

"Take it back. I don't want to be fired," he said to Trump, in a sad moment.
