Donald Trump gave up his chance to be president so that he could host another season of “Celebrity Apprentice.” And let’s be thankful that he did. The cast this year includes former late night host Arsenio Hall, angry comedian Adam Carolla, and Tia Carrere who played the smoking hot singer Casandra in “Wayne’s World.”
The 18-person cast includes American Idol singers, race car drivers, motorcycle builders, pop stars, and magicians.
Trump told the Hollywood Reporter:
“It’s hard to top the last few seasons but we think we’ve done it… I think we have a great, very diverse cast.”
Trump said that the 12th season of the “Celebrity Apprentice will follow the same formula as past seasons. The celebrity contestants will compete for $250,000 for the charity of their choice.
Trump added:
“We didn’t want to change much — we’re not looking to reinvent the show in its 12th season…”
