Donald Trump Going To Daytime TV?
October 24th, 2007 by 
As if Donald Trump didn’t have enough control over money. Now he’s thinking about carrying his tycooning abilities over into daytime TV.
That’ll show that former Ms. DayTime Thang, Rosie O’Donnell a thing or two!
According to reports, Trump has taken quite a liking to TV. After producing and starring in his hit NBC show The Apprentice, insiders reveal to the Hollywood Reporter that Trump is considering hosting a syndicated daytime show as well.
Trump is making plans to develop a Judge Judy-Dr. Phil type show in which he would serve as a host/ mediator / counselor for people involved in money-related matters.
The show would cover a wide range of things, from divorces to the need to teach someone about money matters.
The half-hour series is expected to be announced as a Fall 2008 debut.
Trump is also working on a “Apprentice / Surreal Life” mashup, a B-list celebrity version of The Apprentice. Trump originally wanted to cast Lindsay Lohan’s father, Michael, but network lawyers shot down the idea.
Due to Lohan’s criminal record and current parole status, the lawyers thought it wouldn’t work for the show. In his place, producers have reportedly cast Stephen Baldwin.
The show is currently filming in and around New York and features Sopranos star Vincent Pastore, Omarosa, KISS frontman Gene Simmons, boxer Lennox Lewis, former model Carol Alt and Marilu Henner, according to a report in the New York Post.
