The Donald has just been replaced by The Terminator. Arnold Schwarzenegger has been picked as the new host for NBC’s The Celebrity Apprentice.
The peacock made the announcement official on Twitter. The former California Governor is replacing Trump after NBC cut ties with Trump over the summer. NBC said it made the decision to ‘fire’ Trump after his comments about Mexican immigrants when he announced plans to run for the White House. However, Trump said he told NBC that he wouldn’t be back for a 15th season because of his political aspirations.
“I have always been a huge fan of The Celebrity Apprentice and the way it showcases the challenges and triumphs of business and teamwork,” Schwarzenegger said in a statement to Variety. “I am thrilled to bring my experience to the boardroom and to continue to raise millions for charity. Let’s get started!”
In addition to being governor of California for two terms, Schwarzenegger is an international movie star and an entrepreneur himself. He has struggled to revive his career after leaving politics. Even Terminator Genisys failed to bring in audiences in the U.S., but has been a hit abroad.
Schwarzenegger won’t make his Apprentice debut until the 2016-2017 TV season.
