It was just announced that Trace will appear on Gene Simmons’ “reality” television show,"Gene Simmons Family Jewels" airing Sunday, August 9 at 9:30pm ET/8:30pm CT. As you remember Trace and Gene appeared together on the 1st Celebrity Apprentice which aired during the 2008-2009 television season. In an interview with Reality Rocks he said, “I can't imagine any other reality show that I would even consider doing. This is it for me.” Obviously he never imagined that Gene Simmons would call.
One of the things I came away with after watching Celebrity Apprentice was admiration for Trace’s people skills and his ability to judge a person’s character. Despite both being “alpha male” types, Trace said that he and Gene never clashed.
“If you can't laugh at it, if you take everything he says and does too seriously, you're missing the point of it all--of how fun it can be to hang out with him and laugh at some of the absolutely ridiculous things he'll say. I laughed at him so much. And he knew that I got it, that I understood what he was saying most of the time. That's just how I always took the stuff Gene said. I thought he was hilarious,” he said.
In the episode, titled "Rootin' Tootin' Gene," Simmons travels to Nashville as a favor to KISS' manager and takes a promising but bickering country band under his wing. Adkins stops by the studio to surprise his former "Celebrity Apprentice" co-star and friend and give his expert opinion.
“I love Gene. He's awesome. Of all the things that I'll take with me from that experience, one of the things I'll cherish the most is getting to hang out with Gene Simmons. That guy's a trip!”, he told Reality Rocks.
This episode will also air on Monday, August 10th at 1:30 p.m.
