\n

With President Donald Trump “hired” by the American people for a second term, Amazon<\/a> \u2014 which now owns production rights to NBC\u2019s “The Apprentice” \u2014 is looking for a new host to potentially reboot the once No. 1-rated television program, according to The Wall Street Journal.<\/p>\n

Trump leveraged decades of media<\/a> coverage as a New York mogul amid the ups and downs of the 1980s and 1990s into a smash-hit program that premiered in 2004, following several wannabe business executives through a several-week “job interview” to work for the Trump Organization.<\/p>\n

Fifteen seasons and a presidency-compelled hiatus later, Amazon is reportedly considering Trump Organization Executive Vice President Donald Trump Jr. for the role, as the eldest son has served as a frequent stand-in “boardroom adviser” for Trump executives Carolyn Kepcher and George Ross.<\/p>\n

Trump addressed rumors<\/a> of a reboot on Thursday, telling Fox News’ Peter Doocy that his son is a “good guy” and would “probably be good” in the role.<\/p>\n

“He\u2019s got a little charisma going. You need a little charisma for that sucker. So, we\u2019ll see what happens,” Trump said.<\/p>\n

Several people familiar with the discussions told The Wall Street Journal<\/a> that Amazon executives have internally discussed casting Trump Jr. as a host for an “Apprentice” reboot if they do indeed launch the project.<\/p>\n

The Journal reported Amazon has not yet approached Trump Sr., Trump Jr. or any Trump family members, but that, instead of NBC, it would air the show on Amazon Prime.<\/p>\n

A source close to Trump Jr. told Fox News Digital on Thursday that the Journal report was indeed the first time the 48-year-old father of five had heard his name was in the pot.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital also reached out to the Trump Organization for comment, as well as Amazon and Amazon\u2019s production company.<\/p>\n

An Amazon spokesperson told the Journal that the Jeff Bezos<\/a>-led company previously acquired MGM, which itself bought a majority stake in reality-show impresario Mark Burnett\u2019s company several years earlier.<\/p>\n

Burnett has launched several reality shows<\/a>, including “The Apprentice” and CBS-aired contests “The Amazing Race” and “Survivor,” with the latter now in its 50th season. The credits for “The Apprentice” list Trump Sr. as executive producer.<\/p>\n

A reboot would be Amazon’s second foray into Trumpworld in recent months, as it recently debuted a $40 million biopic of first lady Melania Trump<\/a> that drew praise from supporters and mockery from critics like ABC\u2019s Jimmy Kimmel.<\/p>\n

“Melania” was directed by Brett Ratner of “Rush Hour” fame, as Trump reportedly pressed Paramount Pictures to revive the Jackie Chan-Chris Tucker series and put Ratner back at the helm, according to CNBC<\/a>, which further reported the original New Line Cinema films are now subject to a distribution pact between Paramount and New Line parent Warner Bros.<\/p>\n

Trump Sr. regularly touted his “Apprentice” success throughout his political tenure, once telling the National Prayer Breakfast that attendees should “pray” for former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger<\/a> after the “Terminator” took over the show and oversaw what the president called a ratings collapse.<\/p>\n

Schwarzenegger, the most recent Republican to serve as governor in Sacramento, occasionally spars with Trump, as he is seen as less bombastic and more politically moderate than the president.<\/p>\n

“Hey Donald, I have a great idea,” Schwarzenegger shot back at Trump in an X video at the time.<\/p>\n

“Why don’t we switch jobs \u2014 you take over TV \u2014 since you’re such an expert in ratings, and I take over your job so that people can finally sleep comfortable again \u2014 hmm?” the Austria native, who voted for then-Ohio<\/a> Gov. John Kasich in 2016, quipped.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital reached out to NBCUniversal for additional comment on the potential resurrection of their onetime series. Neither Amazon nor the Trump Organization responded by publication time.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital’s Janelle Ash contributed to this report.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
