TV show description:
In this Apprentice parody reality show, contestants are asked to perform difficult business tasks like selling soup on a hot day, creating and selling art made out of junk, etc.
The tasks are overseen by bossman “Mr. N. Paul Todd” (an anagram of “Donald Trump”). After the completion of each task, Todd asks “the real boss” who should be eliminated. The real boss gives no reason for his decisions, so Todd is free to make things up as he goes along.
One of the series’ many twists is that, unbeknownst to the contestants, the dream job they’re competing for doesn’t exist.
