‘The Donald’ speaks, and alumnus is booted from show

Back to All Stories

Sam Solovey ’98 saw his stint on NBC’s reality show The Apprentice end Wednesday night, hearing the definitive words from Donald Trump: ‘You’re fired.’

But with his teammates challenging him in the boardroom, Solovey was exiled from the show. He was visibly devastated, sitting immobile in his chair long after Trump’s  words dissipated.

The Apprentice is a 15-episode battle for the chance to become president of one of Trump’s divisions, with a salary set at a cool $250,000.
