Donald Trump on arrest of illegal immigrant for SF murder Never autoplay videos

NBC entertainment chairman, Bob Greenblatt, had two words Thursday on whether Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump would ever return as host of "The Celebrity Apprentice:" Absolutely not.

Greenblatt said that the show will not be back next season, but will return in the future with a new host.

NBC cut ties with Trump in June days after he made critical comments about Mexican immigrants and NBC canceled its airing of the Miss USA pageant, which Univision also decided not to air.

Greenblatt said he enjoyed working with Trump when the network was still in business with him.

"He is a lovely guy. He was very much a collaborator and worked with us closely on 'Celebrity Apprentice' and, you know, there's a really effusive great guy. We weren't in any sort of adversarial position."

Not really much of a story. The show becomes an unpaid ad for a political candidate if it continues, and so they end it. What else can they do?

But I'm sure people will laugh and say "He got fired from his own show! What a loser!!"

Because a lot of people cannot be rational of the topic of Donald Trump.

They couldn’t even show “Bedtime for Bonzo” on TV while Reagan was running for office.

Yeah, but they showed “Dumb and Dumber” when Obama and Biden were running for office!

That’s funny, because Trump has been saying for weeks he’s done, can’t run for the nomination and do the Apprentice too. Now NBC claims to have fired him.

Talk about stupid.

I guess NBC showed him.

‘We are a company that embraces diversity’ except diversity of opinion. If you’re not towing the Democrat party line exclusively, you will be given the boot.

Actually I’d prefer President Camacho over Obama.

Years ago our local NBC channel had a run in with Dish, and Dish dropped its coverage.

We never knew it until a visitor tried to get a program on NBC.

Nothing has changed, years later.

It started today as a matter of fact. We’re in an extra six plus months of summer according to Punxatawney Phil!

Or at least until the Germans bomb Pearl Harbor again.

It’s backfiring big-time too.

They could have tried that about six weeks ago. Someone may have bought it then.

Now I understand everyone’s s..t’s emotional right now. But I’ve got a 3 point plan that’s going to fix EVERYTHING.

Congressman #1: Break it down, Camacho!

President Camacho:

Number 1: We’ve got this guy Not Sure.
Number 2: He’s got a higher IQ than ANY MAN ALIVE.
and Number 3: He’s going to fix EVERYTHING.
