Mark Burnett, the power producer who helped reintroduce Donald Trump to a national television audience with “The Apprentice,” is being tapped by the president-elect as special envoy to the United Kingdom in his upcoming administration.
“With a distinguished career in television production and business, Mark brings a unique blend of diplomatic acumen and international recognition to this important role,” Trump announced Saturday.
Burnett, who was born in London, helped produce hits like “Survivor” and “The Voice,” but is perhaps best known for teaming up with Trump for “The Apprentice,” which first aired on NBC in 2004.
Mark Burnett? Famed producer of “Sarah Palin’s Alaska?” That Mark Burnett?
those tapes must be devastating.
Does he do a Michael Richards every time they cut? Does he graphically describe the rape of a child? I can’t imagine what he must be saying on those tapes.
Burnett finally being rewarded for keeping those Apprentice tapes locked up
The UK: “No thank you, we’re all set”
We didn’t even need him for The Apprentice! I remember reading one of Burnett’s biggest regrets is not being around to put his spin/style on our version of the show. As if it would’ve been nearly as successful. 😬
Reagan was an movie actor, a mediocre one. That’s how it all began.
A* movie
Okay he was an A-movie actor but was he really that good?
No his movies were rated AN
Okay he was an A-movie actor
Yeah that’s part of the joke, thanks.
Well excuse me for mocking Ronald Reagan’s film career then.
Not at all, mock him harder. Even the premise of the movie is quite a pill.
It was a good movie, but I thought he despised it.
