 As described in an interview with applicant Tammy Lee (III) (qv),  during the first season of _"Apprentice, The" (2004)_ (qv), the  ending clip each week showing the fired applicant exiting the Trump  Tower and entering a cab had actually been filmed during one of the  first few days of production before the contest started to cut down  on the cost of having to set up for such a shoot each week. Every  contestant had this clip filmed regardless of whether they were  actually fired or not. From the second season onward, the fired  contestants were actually filmed leaving the building after they  were fired.
