During the 2015 Winter Television Critics Association (TCA) Tour, Trump explained to ET why he kept Rivers in the show.
"Throughout history that's always been a tough decision what do you do,” Trump said of Rivers' untimely death, “and she was so good we decided we'd leave it. She was incredible and very inspirational, so it's in memoriam to Joan Rivers.”
