Page 137 - The Apprentice News Today

That you saw of "the apprentice" on tv they shot an average of 300 hours of footage with all these different cameras following different crews and then this point the editors sit down and they put together a story. for me this was the fascinating aspect of this. theres a retroactive narrative construction where trump makes a decision, an impulsive decision. a lot of times he hadnt prepared and wouldnt know what was going on but would make a gut decision and then the editors have to come in and t...

Because the president doesnt want to hear anything thats not what he believes. >> reverse engineering actually fits with a segment were going to have coming up about a new yorker piece. about the apprentice where donald trump was so woefully ill-prepared for those boardroom scenes where he fired somebody that he would often fire the person who was the most effective through the entire week. they would have to go back and reverse engineer in the editing base and find something terrible or find so...

Everybody laughed. >> youre one of us. >> they thought i was joking. you dont watch "celebrity apprentice." >> michael moore talking to us after the election about the rise of donald trump. "the new yorker" is out with a piece profiling mark burnett and the ascension of donald trump through "the apprentice" tv show. former "apprentice" editor told the magazine, quote, most of us knew trump was a fake. he had just gone through i dont know how many bankruptcies. it was like making the court jester...

That anybody had any inkling he would seriously pursue the presidency. i talked with people involved in the show, even when he announced -- this isnt in the piece but something i learned when he announced his campaign, he said that he was going to run, everybody privately who was involved on "the apprentice" rolled their eyes. lets start casting the next season because we know donald will be back. there was a great deal of surprise among people who did the show that he actually went ahead and ra...

Had a zesty banter, and on tv thats magic. you cant -- you cant -- you would want to bottle that. >> he went with his gut, too. thats one of the things the editors had to deal with is donald trump would go with his gut which was not what they expected, and they would have to edit in the reverse. >> talking to the point that edited "the apprentice," all the different cameras following all the different people, and sometimes you would have a standout candidate that did a great job and was the pers...

Donald trump and his kids, and that was all before he was the presidential candidate. 14 seasons on that show helped transform him from the target of tabloids to ultimately something of an american icon. and theres a piece in the new yorker, and it also really has a fascinating look at the sort of rise of the new donald trump. great to have you with us. thank you so much. as one of the projects that you did, and it looks like you worked on it for years, too. >> it took a while. >> you went back ...

Now i take comfort and know his white house has to do the same thing. >> its people -- there have been articles written about how he has to reverse engineer actions based on things that he impulsively does. thats exactly what that sounded li like. >> that whole pattern was what was established. >> and the creator of "the apprentice." >> a lot of these people now, you know, they have doubts about how they feel about all of this and they look back, and on the one hand it was a great professional e...

Complicated position. >> is that because he has seen what can happen if you go against donald trump? >> he is always saying things like i am batman and robin, and i am robin and he knew how to push trumps buttons in that way, and i think to my mind, without a doubt, this is the first line of burnetts obituary, he basically help put a man in the white house. >> the question he probably gets asked most at cocktail parties around the country is are their tapes, and do these tapes exist, and the myt...

The 1990s, and i remember the kind of figure donald trump was and he was a little bit of a joke, and he had a bunch of bankruptcies and in the tabloids all the time, and there was trump before t"the apprentice," and then after. >> its fascinating as you walk through how mark burnett came upon donald trump and found his man. he figured out, too, one of the best ways to appeal to trump is through flattery. he said i need to show respect to mr. trump, he said. this is when he was at a skating rink ...
