Hundreds of would-be Donald Trumps and wannabe Martha Stewarts stood in sleet and rain just a block and a dream away from Wall Street on Friday, hoping to be chosen for the real estate tycoon’s hit reality TV show or the imprisoned lifestyle mogul’s upcoming spinoff.
Trump showed up to greet them in the street and plug his hit NBC show “The Apprentice” and the Stewart spinoff, for which he is an executive producer.
A line of applicants stretched more than two blocks long, starting at the back door of the Trump Building, which fronts on Wall Street.
First in line was 31-year-old options trader Sean Grant, who had arrived at 4:15 p.m. the previous afternoon and waited for more than 17 hours for his audition.
“I want to go wire to wire,” he said. “First on line and first at the end.”
