The new “Celebrity Apprentice,” starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, premiers on Jan. 2, and we’ll finally see what life will be like in 2024, in a post-Trump world. Personally, I’m a huge fan of The Apprentice series, and I’m very much looking forward to watching this! But I do think the entertainment world missed out on a great opportunity for their franchise reboot: doing a “Sports Celebrity Apprentice”!
So we did the work, and we cast 16 retired athletes (we made an exception for a couple female Olympic athletes because we needed more women) in our re-imagined reality show.
(There have actually been plenty of former athletes on the real Celebrity Apprentice show, including Daryl Strawberry, Dennis Rodman, Jose Canseco, Shawn Johnson, Scott Hamilton, Natalie Gulbis, Jennie Finch, Herschel Walker, Michael Johnson, Michael Andretti, Johnny Damon and Terrell Owens.
