Trump: O.J.-on-Apprentice Nearly Killed NBC

Yes, it is true. The Juice almost was set loose on
Celebrity Apprentice. Speaking to TV's
Extra,
Donald Trump confirms that the disgraced football vet once was mentioned as a contender for next season - and the Peacock was less than receptive.
"Let's say that NBC, when I mentioned
O.J. Simpson, had a heart attack," Trump says. "They weren't thrilled. I'm not saying I would have [cast him], either, but it was certainly somebody that would be interesting."
What's your take? Is O.J. "interesting" or, like, revolting?
