‘The New Celebrity Apprentice’

To no one’s surprise, NBC’s The New Celebrity Apprentice, which was shot many moons ago but made its two-hour premiere Monday night, is very much like the old Celebrity Apprentice — dull and smarmy, a mid-2000s style of reality television that no longer interests anybody but political scientists and op-ed columnists, who will forever be scratching their heads to figure out how such a show could have played a part in making a president. Donald Trump is no longer the host of the show — except, of course, for the nagging appearance of his name in the end credits as one of a handful of executive producers.
