Yeah I forgot that part.
He was in dire straits until Burnett bailed him out.
Burnett was selling jeans out of the trunk of his car in Venice Beach when he read “The Art of the Deal”. He was inspired. He swore if he could ever do something for Trump he would.
Burnett’s idea was to have a different lead every season but Spielberg and Bezos had other things to do than film 26 episodes. Trump was always going to be first and …he was available. He got per episode salary and worked it to be an Executive Producer. Nice favor Mark. They filmed in Trump Tower so he rented out the “boardroom” and the contestants lived in the building. He got the rent expense the production company was going to have to pay anyway.
