The Inception and Success of The Apprentice
The idea for The Apprentice was born when Mark Burnett, seeking a city-set reality show post-Survivor, met Donald Trump at Trump-owned Wollman Rink. Initially intended for one season, Trump was paid $25,000 per episode. The show debuted in 2004 and quickly gained popularity despite early struggles with programming schedules.
