Release the Frog Cut of The Apprentice

Jeremy Strong went on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert Tuesday night to plug his turn as evil little freak Roy Cohn in The Apprentice. The film depicts Cohn’s mentoring of a young Donald Trump (Sebastian Stan), as the real estate mogul solidifies into the character we know now. But unfortunately for Strong, the scene that sounded the most interesting during the Colbert interview was left on the cutting room floor. You see, Roy Cohn apparently had a frog figurine collection. We did shoot a scene—I asked the costume designer to go find a full body frog suit. And I was in my bedroom with Donald and I sang the entirety of the George Hearn song ‘I Am What I Am’ from La Cage Aux Folles in a frog suit,” Strong told Colbert. “But it’s not in the movie. I think it should be.” We do too, Jeremy! Would that scene help us understand how America got to this point, politically? Probably not. Would it help us, as Americans, in a spiritual sense? Absolutely. It would also help rescue “I Am What I Am” from being known only as the Virgin Atlantic theme song.
