It wouldn’t be good press for Mark Burnett or NBC if a slew of anti-Donald Trump information came out just as Celebrity Apprentice was preparing to release the latest cycle of the long-running series.
It’s no secret that Donald Trump spent a good chunk of the last decade acting as the host of Celebrity Apprentice on NBC.
The only good news for NBC is that the show has already displaced the Presidential candidate and found a less controversial personality to take his place.
The network distanced itself from the man as he kicked off his political career, but Celebrity Apprentice is still very much a viable property for NBC, and will be kicking off a new cycle with Arnold Schwarzenegger at the head in 2017.
