Key Points:
- Former President Donald Trump acknowledged hearing rumors about a revival of "The Apprentice" on Amazon, noting the show's past success with 14 seasons but offering no concrete confirmation about its return.
- Trump gave a lukewarm endorsement of his son, Donald Trump Jr., potentially taking over as host, mentioning Jr.'s previous involvement with the original show and his charisma.
- Amazon, which acquired MGM (the current owner of "The Apprentice" property), stated the show is not in active development and cautioned that any talk of a revival or new host is purely speculative.
- Sources suggest any push for a revival might originate from the Trump family or their close associates, given the show's significance to Donald Trump and his family's interest.
- Despite media buzz, insiders emphasize that discussions about "The Apprentice" revival remain preliminary and no formal plans have been made.
