As Matt Cutts sadly points out, David Karandish, a young online marketing whiz, just got cut from his Martha Stewart Apprentice team.
 What's more, according to the only person in my household who watches reality shows, during the episode he was dissed by none other than Merv Griffin himself. Apparently, Merv was ticked when David was tapping away on his laptop during a meeting (taking notes, apparently). "What are you, in a chat room?," Griffin reportedly chided him.
It must be tough to be sitting there realizing you're jumping the shark before your very eyes. David's probably never going to replace Pat Sajak as the host of Wheel of Fortune now. But if you're going to go down, it might as well be in culturally significant fashion. And it doesn't get any more culturally significant than Martha and Merv.
Now it's back to working for a living like the rest of us SEM schlubs. :)
