Dallas, TX (RestaurantNews.com) Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament, North America’s longest running dinner attraction, is joining forces with NBC’s hit reality television series “The Celebrity Apprentice,” for the show’s fifth installment, which premiered Sunday, February 19 at 9 pm ET.
“We were excited to partner with ‘The Celebrity Apprentice’ and add a little fun to the season,” said Celeste Lanuza, senior vice president of marketing and sales at Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament. “We are not your typical company and knew that we would be successful in creating something unique by matching one great show with another.”
According to Heather Carrington, director of business development for One Three Television/Mark Burnett Productions, “If there’s anything we have in common with Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament, it’s our level of creativity and having fun with what we do. We welcome the opportunity to see what our apprentices have in mind to promote a venue that offers multiple experiences for a variety of age groups. This may be one of our more difficult assignments.”
Watch for Medieval Times on the wildcard season five of “The Celebrity Apprentice,” which airs on Sundays at 9 pm ET.
