ON SCREEN: Donald Trump
As The Trump Show (9pm, BBC2) takes a look behind the doors of the White House, we look at a few of President Trump’s earlier memorable on-screen outings…
Home Alone 2: Lost In New York (1992) When Kevin (Macaulay Culkin) ends up staying in the Plaza Hotel, who should he ask for directions to the lobby but the building’s then owner? When the movie was screened on Canadian TV in 2014, this scene was cut. Disney+.
The Fresh Prince Of Bel-air (1994) When businessman Trump turns up in the Will Smith sitcom as a prospective buyer for the Banks family’s California mansion, Carlton screams, ‘It’s the Donald!’ – and faints with excitement. Netflix.
Zoolander (2001) Trump crops up in a spoof red-carpet interview in the comedy: ‘Look, without Derek
Zoolander, male modelling wouldn’t be what it is today.’ Netflix, Sky/now TV.
Saturday Night Live (2004, 2015) He may be a regular target of the satirical sketch show (and has been brilliantly played in recent years by Alec Baldwin), but Trump has played along with the joke a few times, too, hosting the show in
2004 (centre) and again in 2015.
The Apprentice (2004-15) The show that made Trump an even bigger name in the US. He handled the boardroom firing chores for 14 seasons, and stepped down after announcing his Presidential ambitions.
