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

O.J. Simpson by Bobby Bank/ WireImage.com

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? - MWM
