Amal Clooney may replace Donald Trump as The Apprentice host

NBC turned Trump’s “You’re fired!” catchphrase on him, believes Amal fits the bill

British human rights lawyer Amal Clooney -- who married actor George Clooney in Venice last year -- might replace American real estate magnate Donald Trump as the host of reality TV show The Apprentice.

NBC turned Trump’s “You’re fired!” catchphrase on him after he made remarks about illegal Mexican immigrants being rapists and murderers during a political campaign last month.

The idea of filming the show mainly in New York, where she is a regular lecturer as a visiting professor at Columbia Law School, appeals to Amal, according to friends of the couple.
