From “You’re Fired!” to “You’re Hired!” Donald Trump is going Hollywood… and he’s taking a fired contestant from “The Apprentice” with him.
Do you remember Andy Litinsky? He got the boot from Trump during the second season of “The Apprentice.” Litinsky, a champion debater and Harvard graduate from Florida, was 23 when he appeared on “The Apprentice 2” as one of 18 corporate wannabes competing for a top job in the Trump organization. During his stint on the show, Litinsky made it to the final six, but ended up being dismissed for making “poor decisions.”
I guess “The Donald” doesn’t hold a grudge because now Litinsky has been hired by Trump to be a part of his latest business venture. Entertainment trade papers are reporting that the New York real estate mogul is adding a Hollywood production company to his business empire. Unconfirmed reports say that one of the company’s first projects will likely be a TV version of the classic board game “Monopoly.” In addition to having a role in producing “The Apprentice,” Trump’s organization also runs the Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants. He says this new California business venture will serve as an outlet for developing new programs.
Litinsky is now set to oversee the new company, which does not yet have a name. Andy Litinsky… Andy Litinsky… I am an avid fan of the reality TV show, but I barely recognized his name. It doesn’t matter though… apparently, Litinsky’s name was one that Trump didn’t forget.
Can’t remember Andy Litinsky? You can get a refresher course by visiting his website. Seems the ex-“Apprentice” contestant has been filling his days (prior to his “hiring” by Trump) touring the country as a guest speaker at various business expos and corporate functions.
