Arnold Schwarzenegger to Replace Donald Trump As Host of ‘Celebrity Apprentice

Source: Variety

NBC has tapped Arnold Schwarzenegger to replace Donald Trump as host of “The Celebrity Apprentice.”

Schwarzenegger is a natural choice for the “CEO” role in the reality-competition franchise that challenges celebrities to prove themselves as entrepreneurs as they raise money for charitable causes. In addition to his credentials as an action-movie star, Schwarzenegger is a two-term former governor of California and has long had a range of business holdings, from restaurants to real estate development to sports franchises.

“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. “I am thrilled to bring my experience to the boardroom and to continue to raise millions for charity. Let’s get started!”

In fact, it will be more than a year before Schwarzenegger makes his debut on the show. NBC said “Celebrity Apprentice,” exec produced by Mark Burnett, will return to the air sometime in the 2016-17 season.

I can't concentrate on the show and hate The Donald at the same time. So I just keep with the latter and change the channel.

AHnold is so dumb he's always good for a few laughs.

Trump is the election killer

Trump is the HUGE death, which brings total obliteration.

I will face the Trump.

I will allow him to speak over me and at me,

and when the election has gone past,

I will turn to see him come in last.

Where Trump has gone there will be nothing,

Only Bernie will remain.

It seems that having Arnold Schwarzenegger as the host of this show would be about its end. I do not think anyone would want to watch Schwarzenegger as the host of this show. He makes a great deal of money making action movies, but that is different from hosting a business show.

I'm sure that Arnold would fit right in. I don't understand what the appeal of that show is.
