Reality-show producer extraordinaire Mark Burnett announced today that next season's hit NBC show The Apprentice will be headed by recently jailed New York Times reporter Judith Miller.
An NBC press release quotes Mr. Burnett: "We believe Ms. Miller's vast experience can be very valuable to young journalists. True, she is not a multimillionaire, but today she is perhaps the most high profile journalist in the country, if not in the world. Plus she has undoubtedly recently experienced many, many things in prison we can only imagine."
A high-ranking confidential source close to Mr. Burnett disclosed, "Anonymous surveys indicate yes, viewers like learning about the business models, but they continue to watch each week wondering if Martha Stewart got any girl on girl action while in prison. Judy Miller should draw on that same demographic, and well, if he ever got Judy and Martha in the same room on the same show to share prison stories, man oh man that'd probably blow the ratings right out the roof."
