"Celebrity Apprentice" will skip this coming season, but return for 2016-2017, NBC Entertainment Chairman Bob Greenblatt said on Thursday. And when it does, the show will definitely have a new host.

President or not, Donald Trump will not be behind the next run of the reality show that he spearheaded at NBC. Clearly, the man has fallen out of favor, but not the format. That said, Mark Burnett and the network will take their time finding a new host — there was no pertinent information revealed by Greenblatt during his Television Critics Association Summer Press Tour session about whom that may be.
