Amazon Revives The Apprentice with Trump's Son

0:00It's April 30th. This is Entertainment and celebrity news today, your AI-powered source for all things entertainment. Amazon is in talks to revive the apprentice, that classic reality show Donald Trump hosted from 2004 to 2015. Word is, his son Donald Trump Jr. might step up as the new host for this reboot on their streaming platform. The original series ran until 2017, with Arnold Schwarzenegger hosting the final season after Trump bounced to run for president. Contestants battled it out for a gig at the Trump Organization, and it pulled in massive crowds back in the day. It averaged 20 million viewers a week, snacked eight Emmy nods including for outstanding reality competition, and made Trump a household name in… TV. But things soured quick when he made comments calling immigrants criminals during his campaign. NBC cut ties hard, dropping the show and pageants linked to Trump, saying respect for all people is their core value. No way he'd ever return to their airwaves.

1:01Fast forward, Trump still caches in with six figure royalties yearly from the show, between $100,000 and $1 million, just in two. 1024, since his family co-owns it. Entertainment Weekly hit up Amazon for more details, so stay tuned as this brews.
