The Profit

In this edition of Ask Andy, questions about Bravo’s Real Housewives, and Marcus Lemonis’ HGTV’s The Renovator, which is now missing from the schedule.

From planning renovations to staging the house with furniture, Marcus Lemonis did things very differently on his HGTV show The Renovator. In this interview, he breaks all that down, and discusses how the show is similar to show he’s known for, The Profit.

Will there be more episodes of The Profit, or is it cancelled? What does Marcus Lemonis think about companies who are suing him? What does The Profit’s contract say? Marcus Lemonis answered my questions about all three.

Whether the claims of 50+ businesses that’ve appeared on CNBC’s The Profit are true or not (they accuse Marcus Lemonis “of running an expansive racketeering ring that ruined their businesses”), the show would benefit from giving us more details about exactly what happens with deals that are being made and contracts that are being signed.

“It’s important for people to ask more philosophical questions about society and business and how human interest and commerce intersect. It can destroy people or it can build people up.”

In The Profit season 7’s premiere, “Dante’s”, Marcus Lemonis visited a restaurant and did something new.

CNBC announced the new Profit podcast, which is just audio from the TV show, and The Profit season seven’s premiere date.
