Stewart's 'Apprentice' Fired

Yes Virgina, there is a Santa Claus....

LOS ANGELES (Nov. 14) - NBC hasn't told lifestyle guru Martha Stewart, "You're fired." But to borrow from her own genteel phraseology, she "just doesn't fit" into the network's future schedule, either.

The General Electric Co.-owned broadcaster said Monday there will be no second edition of "The Apprentice: Martha Stewart," its faltering spin-off of the corporate-themed reality show starring real estate tycoon Donald Trump. But NBC also insisted it never planned to ask Stewart back anyway.

The show will leave the airwaves for good after next month's finale, capping a contest among 16 aspiring executives to win a $250,000 prize and a yearlong "apprenticeship" at Stewart's Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia company.
