Will NBC Fire ‘The Apprentice’ if Trump Runs for President?

If Donald Trump decides to run for president in 2016, NBC is wondering what would happen with his show “The Celebrity Apprentice.”

Network insiders say if Trump were to run — and he’s planning a big announcement on Tuesday, about what we’ll soon see — he cannot remain as host of the entertainment show, which attracted 6.1 million viewers for its Season 7 finale in February.

Would Kim Kardashian or Honey Boo Boo be his running mate?

The apprentice has run out of contestants anyway it seems. That’s why we’ve been seeing contestants coming back for second go rounds.

they could just air the UK version of the Apprentice

I think Trump running for President would be a publicity stunt and I don’t watch Celebrity Apprentice, but I can’t help wondering that if Hillary Clinton hosted a show on NBC would it tell her she could not host a show on it if she ran for President.

if he were smart...he’d pick “Caitlin” Jenner....More name recognition then he has in the enlightened communities

[nickcarraway]

Jenner would probably make a better president than Trump.

Nope, doesn’t happen at NBC, only at Fox.

“Trump considered a presidential bid in 2012 going as far as setting a announcement date but later bowed out in May 2011 and signed on to another season of hosting “The Apprentice.” Trump appears to be ready for a presidential race, he’s hired staff in key sates and has beeon on the campaign trails in Iowa and South Carolina. He recently turned down an offer of hosting The Apprentice too. He told a crowd of more than 300 people packed into the city’s Music Man Square that he’d be coming back to the influential presidential nomination state immediately after his announcement - a clear signal that he intends to launch bid.”

I believe Donald stood down from next season a month or so ago, just because of the Presidential race.

Whoop-dee-do. He's still an egotistical joke of a candidate.
