WSJ: Amazon to bring back Apprentice

[Joe Hass]

With Jr as host. Because that's exactly what America needs right fucking now.

You won’t watch it, nobody you know will watch it, and Amazon just doesn’t care. They would be making a hell of a short term bet here since whatever benefit they would get from this bribe will be held against them once Trump (the elder) is out of the spotlight. Sons of dictators don’t get the auras of their fathers.

Good news:  Lesley Goldberg at the paywalled The Ankler reports that Amazon discussed a reboot of "The Apprentice" last year and pretty much decided not to for various reasons, among them the requirement of Secret Service presence for Trump family members.

Meanwhile, Amazon sits on the library of Heatter-Quigley game show formats that they own by way of Orion and MGM. I know that the prime property, "Hollywood Squares," was sold off to KingWorld years ago (and is now owned by CBS/Paramount, who are doing it a disservice with that awful Drew Barrymore reboot), how about a high-tech reboot of "Video Village" or just bringing back "High Rollers" or "Gambit?" (With our luck, it'll be "The Magnificent Marble Machine" or "Amateur's Guide to Love.")

Yes, this is good news because I was sure hosting a new version of The Apprentice was going to be a step toward normalizing DJT, Jr. into a viable presidential candidate.

II never watched one second of the original apprentice, and I was looking forward to not watching a second of a reboot.
