NEW YORK, Feb. 2 (UPI) -- TV icon Martha Stewart reportedly will host a new version of NBC's hit reality show "The Apprentice," to be titled "The Apprentice: Martha Stewart."
Donald Trump, the host of the original "Apprentice," and creator Mark Burnett will serve as executive producers of both series, CNN reported.
"The Apprentice: Martha Stewart" will retain the general format of the original series, including weekly eliminations, but the format of the show will be tailored to Stewart's personality and brand identity, NBC said.
"I am thrilled to be able to offer my good friend Martha the opportunity to join me in the success of 'The Apprentice,'" Trump said in a statement. "I hope she has as much fun as I do with this venture."
Stewart is currently serving a 5-month sentence at a federal correction facility in Alderson, W. Va., for obstructing justice during a government investigation of her 2001 sale of ImClone stock. She is to be released March 4.
