Trump Crops "Apprentice" Finale
Donald Trump is cutting back.
After coming to the realization that last season's three-hour-long Apprentice finale perhaps bordered on overkill, this time around, the Donald plans to wrap up the business of selecting a new underling in a measly one-hour finale on May 19.
"At my insistence, I wanted it to be a one-hour finale," Trump said at a press conference Tuesday. "We ended up with a reunion and all of this nonsense. Nobody wants that. What they want is a finale where somebody gets fired."
During the press conference, Trump also expressed his condolences for Apprentice contestant Chris Shelton, who was arrested last weekend for disorderly conduct, saying he felt "very badly" for Shelton.
"He's got a problem," said Trump. "He's got an anger-management problem. We talked about it on the show. He truly is an angry guy."
Trump said that Thursday's episode will coincidentally feature more of Shelton's short-fused nature.
"By circumstance, it happens to involve Chris to a large extent," said Trump. "He has a very interesting time on the show."
Meanwhile, Trump has been pleased enough with the work done by the original Apprentice winner, Bill Rancic, that he has renewed his contract for another year.
"He's done everything I've asked him to do," Trump said.
Rancic will continue to work in sales and marketing at the Trump International Hotel and Tower in Chicago. He'll also occasionally fill in for George and Carolyn in the boardroom during the fourth season of The Apprentice.
