Donald Trump will keep his executive producer credit on NBC’s Celebrity Apprentice throughout his presidency,” production studio MGM confirmed to Variety on Thursday night.
Following his derogatory comments toward Mexican immigrants last year, NBC Universal distanced themselves from Trump, saying they would only air Celebrity Apprentice because he was completely removed from the series.
Robert Greenblatt, the company’s chairman, also promised that Trump “would never” return to Celebrity Apprentice as long as he’s with the company.
Trump is the original star of the television series that will kick off its 15th season new host Arnold Schwarzenegger on January 2.
