Donald Trump heard a familiar refrain from NBC last week. But what kind of severance is he looking at?
It’s all over for “The Apprentice.” Depending on whom you ask, Donald Trump either quit for another TV adventure or was canned by NBC over poor ratings. Either way, “The Apprentice” was not on NBC’s new prime-time line-up announced last week.
According to Mr. Trump—a newly minted grandfather, thanks to Donald Jr. and his wife Vanessa—he wants to pursue other showbiz options without the network.
"It looks like viewers will have to wait to see what Mr. Trump plans for the future," a statement from Mr. Trump said. "But if Mr. Trump's past TV success is any indication of the future, then one can anticipate that millions of 'Apprentice' fans will be migrating to his new venture."
What does this mean?
