‘Apprentice’ added to Amazon service
“The Apprentice,” the long-running reality television show that boosted Donald Trump’s profile, has begun streaming on Amazon Prime Video, the company said.
The show’s first seven seasons will be available on Amazon’s streaming platform; the first season premiered Monday and subsequent seasons will arrive every week until late April.
Debuting in 2004, “The Apprentice” and a spinoff, “Celebrity Apprentice,” propelled Trump to national stardom following a string of bankruptcies and bad business deals in the 1990s.
The series was a major hit and helped launch his political career. The show featured contestants taking part in challenges for a $250,000 salary and a job with The Trump Organization. — Associated Press
