Amazon Revives The Apprentice with Trump Junior as Host

0:00On April 30th, Amazon is buzzing with talks about reviving the apprentice, that classic reality show, and they might tap Donald Trump Jr. to host. It, word is, Amazon MGM Studios, chief Mike Hopkins is leading the charge on this inside scoop. These discussions kicked off in early 2025, right as Donald Trump started his second term in the White House. It's all internal chatter so far, but the idea is gaining steam among execs. The original apprentice ruled NBC for 14 seasons from 2004 to 2015, with Trump himself hosting all 186 episodes. Contestants battled business tasks weekly, ending in his famous, you're fired moment, that became pure pop culture gold. Amazon snagged the show's full library back in their 2022 buyout of MGM, and irractive nine Emmy nods during its heyday. This reboot could tap right back into that business showdown vibe. For now, it's just early stage talks, but if it lands, expect Trump Jr. bringing fresh fire to a format that still shapes how we see ambition on screen.
