Arnold Schwarzenegger Is New Host of ‘The Celebrity Apprentice’!

Long before Donald Trump uttered the words, “You’re Fired,” on NBC’s Celebrity Apprentice, Arnold Schwarzenegger owned that one-liner in True Lies. Arnold not only made that catch-phrase cool, he also got to da choppa long before Trump on his now Terminated primetime series. In a huge shocker, Arnold, after conquering the international box-office with a whopping 440 million haul for Terminator Genisys, is yet again expanding his resume by preparing for television domination. Ready to step into Trump’s shoes, Arnold Schwarzenegger has announced he’ll be the new boss of The Celebrity Apprentice!

“I have always been a huge fan of ‘The Celebrity Apprentice’ and the way it showcases the challenges and triumphs of business and teamwork,” Mr. Schwarzenegger said in a statement. “I am thrilled to bring my experience to the boardroom and to continue to raise millions for charity. Let’s get started!”

The most recent season of “The Celebrity Apprentice,” which ended in February, averaged 7.3 million viewers but with ARNOLD involved, we may see those numbers skyrocket to what they aired originally with in 2004 averaging nearly 21 million viewers an episode.

After the announcement, Mr. Trump tweeted his approval: 

Congrats to my friend @Schwarzenegger who is doing next season’s Celebrity Apprentice. He'll be great & will raise lots of $ for charity.

Then of course, Arnold himself made a perfect Facebook video:

Wow. I'm blown away and honored by all your messages. I can't wait to bring my experience to the board room & raise millions for charity.

We are guessing that filming on Schwarzenegger’s part for ‘The Celebrity Apprentice’ might only be twice a week and he should still have plenty of time to continue his movie career along the way. Arnold is next said to be starring in "The Legend of Conan" with Universal Pictures and likely to star in additional upcoming Terminator sequels.
