O.J. Simpson on the next Celebrity Apprentice?

by Keith McDuffee, posted Apr 23rd 2008 12:20PM

oj simpsonO.J. Simpson is interested in appearing on television again, though for a much different sort of reality show than the interior of a courtroom. Namely, The Donald's boardroom.

O.J. reportedly is interested in appearing in the next season of Celebrity Apprentice (there's going to be another season?) and has even asked Trump to allow him to participate. From the Page Six article: "Simpson really wants to do it. Trump and NBC are thinking about it, but are being very cautious," their source said. "There's a certain amount of heat associated with Simpson." Ya think?

I'm betting Simpson's appearance on the show will boost ratings in some circles, while others will cry for a boycott of the show. I'm not sure where O.J.'s going to have time to finish tasks for The Apprentice when he's so busy scouring golf courses all over America in search of his late wife's killer. Maybe that will be the final Apprentice task.

I say, enough w/the O.J. torture America. Let the man be. There are worst criminals walking the streets today. Besides, no one but O.J. and the departed are the ONLY ones who know why those horrible killings happended. Has America even considered maybe they had it coming? Let the man be...that's ALL.

I won't watch if OJ is on the show. It's that simple. He is a murderer and i wouldn't classify the show as entertainment if he were participating.

I said out loud "ya think" at the same time as I read it.

I thought they announced that the celeb edition was renewed before the first season ended. Why so surprised, it got pretty decent ratings for NBC. I loved it and hopefully they will come up with better celebs than OJ. I say give Gene Simmons a chance again!

Also, OJ is scheduled to drive in the NASCAR Modified South Tour at the Homestead Miami Speedway in the November finale!

I doubt that this will happen since Trump has publicly stated that O.J. is guilty and no longer associates with him.

They need to put Mark Furman in there too. How great would that be?

Actually, if they put Mark Furman on I'd be all for it!
