NBC won't be saying "You're rehired!" to Donald Trump anytime soon.
NBC Chairman of Entertainment Robert Greenblatt took the stage Thursday for the final round of the Television Critics Assn. press tour in Beverly Hills. And, as expected, the network's relationship with the real estate mogul-turned-presidential-hopeful -- more so than NBC's upcoming slate of shows -- took the spotlight.
The network announced that "Celebrity Apprentice," the star-studded offshoot of the long-running competition franchise, was being put on hiatus this season as the network searches for a new host.
NBC cut business ties with Trump, who served as brusque host and an executive producer of the reality series, back in June after his controversial comments about Mexican immigrants during a speech announcing his presidential candidacy.
