For example, for the TV shows Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel, Fran Rubel Kuzui and her husband, Kaz Kuzui, were credited as executive producers because heir credit, rights, and royalties over the franchises related to their funding, producing, and directing of the original movie version of Buffy.

Same thing for NCIS, Donald Bellisario is still credited as an executive producer even though he has no involvement in the show any longer.

So because Trump was an executive producer on The Apprentice and probably Celebrity Apprentice, he is entitled to the executive producer credit even if he does no work on the series.

This is the press trying to get everyone worked up over something that happens in Hollywood.
