Looks like you will see more of Joan Rivers on your TV.

The beloved Fashion Police host shot two episodes of the upcoming season of NBC's Celebrity Apprentice, NBC confirms to E! News. Donald Trump took to Twitter to share some details.

"We just finished shooting a new season of Celebrity Apprentice and happily for all, Joan plays my advisor in two episodes," Trump tweeted. "She was great!"

NBC confirms that Joan did serve as boardroom advisor for two tasks, but has no other info at this time. The new season has wrapped production, but no airdate has been set yet.

Joan and daughter Melissa Rivers competed on the reality series in 2009, and Joan beat poker player Annie Duke to take home the top prize. She also appeared in All-Star Celebrity Apprentice as a guest judge during the 2012-2013 season.

Joan passed away on Thursday, Sept. 4 at the age of 81. She was hospitalized following a throat procedure on August 28.

"It is with great sadness that I announce the death of my mother," Melissa said in a statement at the time of Joan's passing. "She passed peacefully at 1:17 p.m. surrounded by family and close friends. My son and I would like to thank the doctors, nurses, and staff of Mount Sinai Hospital for the amazing care they provided for my mother. Cooper and I have found ourselves humbled by the outpouring of love, support, and prayers we have received from around the world. They have been heard and appreciated. My mother's greatest joy in life was to make people laugh. Although that is difficult to do right now, I know her final wish would be that we return to laughing soon."

Joan's funeral was a star-studded affair on Sunday, Sept. 7. It featured performances by Audra McDonald, Hugh Jackman and tributes from a variety of celebrities including Howard Stern.
