Mark Burnett (born 17
July 1960)[3]
is a
British television producer who is the current Chairman of
MGM Worldwide Television Group.[2]
He has personally won twelve
Emmy Awards, five
Producers Guild of America Awards, seven
Critics' Choice Television Awards, and six
People's Choice Awards.[4]
In 2004, NBC
premiered
The Apprentice, a reality television series in which contestants
competed for a job under real estate magnate
Donald
Trump.[11]
The Apprentice spawned numerous licensed international versions of the
show.
Connection with
President Trump
Burnett created an independent organization called "Inaugural
Productions", which received $24 million from the
Joint Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies to stage several events for
Donald Trump's Inauguration.[35]
Burnett sought to keep his involvement with the inauguration private, so as not
to appear as an "ally" to Trump.[35][36]
Omarosa Manigault, a former Apprentice contestant and White House aide
claimed in her book "Unhinged," that Donald Trump is a “racist” who uses the
“N-word.” Specifically, she alleges Trump used the N-word “multiple times”
during the filming of The Apprentice. Tom Arnold, another former Apprentice
contestant, hinted at something similar when he told Seattle radio station KIRO
that there were outtakes of Trump saying “every bad thing ever, every offensive,
racist thing ever.”[37]
Omarosa suggested that Burnett and his production company were in the possession
of a series of tapes that could damage the president.[2]
On 13 August 2018, Trump tweeted a repudiation of her claim.[38][39]

January 7: How Mark Burnett Resurrected
Donald Trump as an Icon of American Success
With “The Apprentice,” the TV producer mythologized Trump—then a floundering D-lister—as
the ultimate titan, paving his way to the Presidency.

January 22: Burnett has boasted of being in
business, or at least in business talks, with Putin’s circle.
In Tuesday’s much aggregated report, ABC News cites unnamed sources who claimed
that nine days after Trump won the presidency, Burnett reached out to one of
Trump’s closest advisers to see if he would sit down with a banker who has long
held ties to Russia. ABC News reported that congressional investigators are
looking into
Robert Foresman, now deputy chairman of UBS Investment Bank.
With Burnett’s help, Foresman “found his way onto the daily calendar of
Thomas Barrack,” who at the time was chairing what would become Trump’s
inaugural fund, ABC News
reported, citing internal emails. Burnett is the guy who was brought in to
oversee entertainment for the inauguration festivities.
Foresman had lived for years in Moscow, where he led a $3 billion Russian
investment fund; he had been touted as someone who maintains connections to
Putin’s inner circle, the news division reported.
Foresman wound up not meeting Barrack, nor did he get the role he sought with
the fledgling Trump administration, ABC News reported. All parties involved,
including Burnett, declined comment to the news org.
Burnett, meanwhile, has not shied away from talking about his flights into
Putin’s orbit.
