About the Show
Donald Trump returns with "The Celebrity Apprentice" and an all-new lineup of celebrity candidates. This season, eighteen business-savvy celebrity contestants will compete…not for a job with the Trump Organization, but for the greater goal of raising money and awareness for their charity of choice. The last person standing will be chosen as the Celebrity Apprentice and have the honor of delivering a $250,000 bonus check to their designated charity.
Every week, the celebrity contestants will work in two teams, each under the guidance of a designated project manager, to compete in business-driven tasks around New York City. Their goal: to win challenges using their fame and their proven business acumen. Contestants are subjected to long hours, grueling deadlines, intellectual challenges, personality clashes, and intense scrutiny – all under the careful watch of Donald Trump and his advisors.
Each task will culminate in the boardroom, where contestants must account for their actions and be judged by Trump and his advisors. Returning this season are Trump's children and colleagues, Ivanka, Donald Jr., and Eric.
