In this world of pre-packaged reality shows, Clemente balks at any thought that his cursing and firing was part of a master plan to become a household name. While the feelers from TV stations have dried up since his abrupt ouster, Clemente says his teaching stint will also serve as a chance for him to rebuild his own career. “They have passion for the media industry and I’m just trying to help them out as I’m trying to proceed with my career.” “It’s to help high school international students,” Clemente says.
