don Mar 18 (THAINDIAN NEWS) No, it isn’t the end for “Celebrity Apprentice” but Donald Trump is all set to bring back the regular edition of the show, which first aired in 2004. It will involve 14 ordinary (not celebrity) job hunters who have been troubled because of the current economy.

On Wednesday, Donald Trump and NBC announced that they wish to put Americans back to work. The new show, which was replaced by celebrity apprentice two years ago, is expected to air this fall. “Since the economy went down the tubes, people have been saying, ‘Would it be possible to bring back the original?” Trump said. “In a way, it’s more important now than when we first did it.”

Taping for the show will begin this summer, and the recruiters will be looking for candidates who have lost their jobs, are stuck in dead end jobs just to survive, or have recently graduated from college and have no job offers in site. Trump said that all of the candidates will have one common denominator, “Everybody has to be smart,” Trump said. “They all have to have brain power.”

The prize which will go to the winner is a job position in one of Donald Trump’s companies, just as it was in the original show, “The Apprentice.” In an additional effort to help these contestants, they will not simply be told the dreaded words,”You’re Fired,” by Trump, but he will sit down and give them advice as well. “Instead of just sending them off in a cab, I’m going to sit and talk to them about their future — give them a little advice,” Trump said.
