I scream. You scream. We all scream for ice cream, right? Well, tonight on Celebrity Apprentice everyone's going to be screaming as we crown a brand new champion.

Penn Jillette concocted a new flavor called Vanilla and Chocolate Magic Swirtle. Trace came up with the Maple Macadamia Mash Up. Here at WBKR, thanks to a special ice cream delivery from our friend April Faught, we decided to put them to a good old-fashioned taste test. WATCH!
