Donald Trump on The Apprentice — NBC

Although there are few shows in the history of TV that have had a larger impact on world events, for much of Donald Trump’s political life, The Apprentice has not been available to stream. Now, Deadline is reporting that the show’s first seven seasons will be available to stream on Amazon Prime Video.

The show, which starred Trump as the all-knowing business executive who gathered regular people, and then eventually celebrities, to compete for a spot inside the Trump organization, was a ratings success, and helped to further Trump’s public image as a successful businessman.

Season 1 of the show debuted on Prime Video today, and seasons of the show will continue rolling out until April 27.

The show ran for 15 seasons total, and Trump was the show’s host for the first 14. Arnold Schwarzenegger stepped in for one ill-fated season following Trump’s departure.

“The Apprentice is one of the best shows that I ever produced,” show producer Mark Burnett said. “The charismatic onscreen presence of President Donald J. Trump made it a bona fide hit. Now, thanks to Prime Video, a whole new audience will experience a new season every Monday. This show is a love letter to New York City. Survivor grew an entirely new massive audience as a result of old seasons being binged during the pandemic. On Monday, March 10, this same phenomenon will begin again… with The Apprentice.”

The show’s appearance on Prime Video shouldn’t be a huge shock considering that Amazon spent $8.5 billion for MGM and its back catalog, which includes the rights to the series. Now we’ll have to see how big the show gets on Prime Video.

What to expect at the Scottish Open — without looking too far ahead with The Open around the corner

The Scottish Open returns to The Renaissance Club, just outside of Edinburgh.

Field, Nature, Outdoors

The Genesis Scottish Open is here. It feels like a major tournament. Keyword, feels. The actual major tournament, The Open, golf's oldest tournament, is scheduled next week. But the field in Scotland is not treating the Scottish Open like a tune-up to The Open. If nothing else, the field at the Renaissance Club is excited about the mix of players scheduled to hit the links.

While, yes, PGA Tour players like Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler are expected this weekend, fans should also expect to see, yes, LIV Tour players. That's because the Scottish Open is co-sanctioned by the PGA and European Tours. So, while the PGA Tour banned players who defected to play with LIV some four years ago, the European Tour has allowed them to play at its events.

Cape Verde’s miraculous run is what FIFA World Cup is all about

It's easy to see why almost everyone was rooting for Cape Verde in the World Cup.

Cape Verde World Cup team

I'm here in Mexico City for the summer, and watching World Cup games with such a rabid fan base has been nothing short of spectacular. Every game is hyped. Every bar and restaurant has rows of TVs with the volume turned all the way up, and everyone's having a blast drinking chelas (beer for the non-Spanish-speaking folks) while watching the intensity of it all. For group play, I've been watching from the comfort of my sofa. But after watching Mexico dominate in group play, I was determined to watch as many knockout games as possible at a packed bar to breathe the atmosphere.

And I'm so glad that I did.

Novak Djokovic now holds the all-time record for most men’s singles match wins at Wimbledon

Djokovic persevered in a grueling match to accomplish the feat.

Novak Djokovic

The king of the most revered grass court in the world is no longer Roger Federer. The crown now belongs to one Novak Djokovic, who needed every bit of grit and moxie to stake his claim as the all-time men's singles match winner at Wimbledon.

To get there, Serbian superstar and 7th seed had to dig deep to persevere against world No. 132 Roman Safiullin, who endeared himself to tennis fans by stretching the Centre Court match to extra sets on Sunday. It was no easy task, to say the least. Djokovic looked visibly frustrated throughout the match. At one point, Djokovic let out an audible obscenity, which triggered a warning from the umpire. He also uncharacteristically double-faulted, which might have been the result of vision problems on the court.
