George Lopez is in talks to replace Donald Trump as the host of “Celebrity Apprentice.”
The comedian’s reps confirmed that he was in the “early stages” of conversations with NBC.
“There have been initial conversations with George Lopez’s representatives, and, given Donald Trump’s crazy comments, George would be the perfect loud response to Trump,” a source told Page Six.
After NBC cut ties with Trump because of comments he made during his presidential announcement, Lopez said that Trump could win the election, but only because “there are enough racists in this country.”
