President Donald Trump Reacts to Rumors Son Donald Jr. Will Host ‘Apprentice’ Revival
Amazon says it has had preliminary internal discussions about the show, while a spokesperson says the reboot is not in active development.
- Amazon executives are exploring a reboot of The Apprentice with Donald Trump Jr. as a potential host, a prospect President Donald Trump addressed on Thursday by noting the show's past success.
- The original reality series, The Apprentice, aired for 14 seasons on NBC from 2004 to 2015, becoming a pop culture phenomenon under the leadership of Trump.
- During a Friday appearance on CNN's Erin Burnett OutFront, former contestant Omarosa Manigault Newman questioned the potential casting of Don Jr., suggesting Ivanka Trump would be a superior host.
- Omarosa highlighted Ivanka's "different level of charisma" and business acumen, while casting doubt on Don Jr.'s ability to "bring back his dad's star power" to the franchise.
- The Apprentice icon also revealed that Ron DeSantis once auditioned for the role, joking that the former official "could be considered for host" given his current employment status.
