The New Apprentice: Martha Stewart's Next Creative Project

NBC Universal Television Group President Jeff Zucker announced today that Donald Trump and Mark Burnett, creator and Executive Producer of the original "Apprentice," will serve as Executive Producers for this new venture. The wheels will be set into motion after Stewart's release from prison next month.

Self-made billionaire Stewart will bring her trademarked creativity, personality and style to the overall feel of the show and will give apprentice candidates and viewers the opportunity to learn her areas of expertise - the worlds of publishing, merchandising and television.

Similarly, candidate's tasks will revolve around media, home renovation, technology, entertaining, design, merchandising and style. The elimination process will also reflect Martha's ingenuity.

Interested in vying for a position as a candidate for Martha's new show or the next season of Trump's Apprentice? Casting for both versions of the show begins immediately in 27 cities nationwide. Both Trump and Stewart have rigorous criteria for potential contenders.

One a side note, one can't help but wonder what Martha's elimination catch phrase will be. Perhaps, "You're Fried!"? Nah.
