Michael Cohen shopping television show ‘The Fixer’ — inspired by Trump’s ‘The Apprentice’
The Fixer is in.
Donald Trump’s disgraced former attorney, Michael Cohen, is shopping a television show that could see him capitalize off renewed publicity from the candidate’s legal woes.
The show would be called “The Fixer” — a reference to Cohen’s time working as Trump’s bare-knuckled lawyer and a take off Trump’s turn on “The Apprentice” — and involve Cohen being put into business and other scenarios so he could ” ‘fix’ them,” insiders told The Post.
Cohen confirmed the premise of the show, and told The Post the ideas was still in “a very early stage.”
“Somebody came up with the concept and we shot a three minute teaser for it.” Cohen said.
Cohen said he’s working with Colin Whelan of Conveyor Media, whose past credits include “Joe Exotic: Tigers, Lies and Cover-Up” for Investigation Discovery; “Cooking On High” for Netflix; and “Bargain Mansions” for HGTV.
“He’s part of that whole team out there shopping it,” Cohen said of Whelan.
Reached by phone Whelan demurred: “We’re all not really working together any longer.”
Cohen — who was sentenced to three years in federal prison in 2018 after pleading guilty to charges of campaign finance fraud and tax evasion — is set to take a star turn at Trump’s trial underway in Manhattan.
Cohen played an integral role in alleged hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 presidential campaign to keep her silent about an affair with Trump, authorities have said.
The former president has consistency denied both the affair and any wrongdoing.
