Although the show will be fictional, the writers will be able to draw inspiration from the celebrities and well-known characters that have taken up residence at the tower at one time or another. Steven Spielberg, Sophia Loren, Johnny Carson and Michael Jackson have all lived in the building.

“Several major network and cable channel executives have already called, and a battle has begun to see where it will air,” said Michael Cohen, Trump’s special counsel. [Post]
