The Assistant

How best to sum up Andy Dick's twisted send-up of popular reality series, in which contestants complete humbling tasks to win an entry-level job at MTV, a new car, and fresh threads? Just read this excerpt from our interview with Mr. Dick.

Are you mean to the contestants?
Yeah, my voice is shot because I did spend a lot of time screaming at them.

Do you hit them?
I did. I was knocking somebody on their helmet and then I knocked them on their head after the helmet was gone.

They wear helmets?
Well, during the ''Fear Factor'' elimination night they had to wear helmets. And they had to eat some s---, too.

Like what?
Not cockroaches and stuff, it was more just like...a headcheese popsicle.

Come again?
Actually, the person who got that couldn't do it. They took a couple bites and started vomiting.

So what you're saying is, This is going to be a pretty cool show.
Oh, I love it, dude.

WHY WE'LL TUNE IN Andy's already had one hilarious MTV series, on which he spoofed celebs from Christina Aguilera to Tom Green. So we can't wait to see his twisted take on the Donald and his ''You're fi-ahd!'' shtick.
