Omarosa Pitches Ivanka as The Apprentice Host

0:00It's May 2nd. This is Entertainment and Celebrity News today, AI-powered stories from the spotlight. Omarosa Manigault Newman is throwing her weight behind a reboot of The Apprentice, but with a big condition. She wants Ivanka Trump as the host, not her brother Donald Trump Jr. The reality TV star from the show's first season, and its celebrity spin-off, made this pitch on CNN this Friday, she explained why it makes sense. The original series popped off because of Donald Trump's real business wins, like his golf courses and hotels. But Ivanka brings her own game, with hits in clothing, jewelry, and her new planet Harvest Project, plus that sharp boardroom edge and extra charisma. Fans remember the show as a huge hit. Trump ran it from 2004 to 2015 on NBC, where contestants battled for jobs in his company. The celebrity version lasted eight seasons through 2017, and his catchphrase, You're Fired, became legendary. Trump's kids both showed up plenty.

1:00Donald Jr. advised in the boardroom for over 70 episodes, while Ivanka topped that with 87 appearances as Judge and Advisor. No reboot is cooking right now, and nobody's locked in as host yet. But Omarosa's idea has people talking about fresh takes on that classic format.
