When this show was still on the air, it was all about finding undiscovered talent and giving them exposure or cash prizes in exchange for competing.

This reality show is known for reintroducing Donald Trump to the public eye. The plot revolved around a group of celebrities and businessmen who were interviewing for a job at the current President’s company. Obviously, the firing scene was added and scripted for added drama.
