The History

The Apprentice first premiered in January of 2004, and quickly became the number one show on television, making ratings history and receiving rave reviews. The first season finale had the highest ratings on television that year after the Superbowl, with 41.5 million people watching.

Since then, the show has achieved three Emmy nominations and has enjoyed fourteen wildly successful seasons with Donald Trump at the helm. Don Jr., and Eric were also featured as advisors to Mr. Trump showcasing the Trump legacy to television audiences in a big way.

The Celebrity Apprentice was introduced in 2008 and was similarly met with tremendous success, and extremely high ratings and reviews. Over the years the show has brought various celebrity names to the boardroom and has served as the catalyst for raising millions of dollars for worthy charities.
