Duke promises she won't "behave like Omarosa...I hope to make it as long as her, but I promise I won't comment on your children or relationships.

"I can't say the same!" Joan Rivers challenged, as her daughter, Melissa, piped in: "Neither can I!"

Trump says he's not even trying to guess who will win.

"From day one, I look at somebody and say: there is somebody that is going to win, and it turns out to be a disaster," he says. "I've had a couple -- I won't use names -- [whom I was] very unimpressed with when I first saw them.

"I'll give you an example: Stephen Baldwin," Trump adds. "I thought he was a total [jerk]. But you know what...he was really great. He was smart, cunning."

The 8th season of Trump's Apprentice premieres March 1 on NBC.
