Arnold's Netflix Show Wraps and is Officially Named FUBAR!
After filming all summer long in Toronto, Arnold's first foray into scripted television has now wrapped filming. He posted a video after the last shot giving thanks to his costars, director, producers, as well as all the crew behind the scenes who help make him "look studly." As he often says, he is not a self-made man, because we are all a product of so much help. He also said that this was the most fun project that he's ever worked on. He wrapped up of course by saying "We will do it again... we'll be BACK!" Let's hope this show is a smash hit and more seasons will be in the works!
But wait, Arnold had one more bit of news to announce! He said with a big smile "after long waiting, Netflix has agreed to call the show FUBAR! We are very happy about that!" If you're not up to speed about the show's name, it started out as FUBAR (an acronym for "Fucked Up Beyond All Recognition"), and Arnold has always referred to it that way. However, Netflix wasn't as thrilled with the name, so some stories about the show have referred to it as "UTAP", an acronym that no one has heard of before and sounds about a million times lamer. Arnold has held firm, saying FUBAR every chance he gets and posting pictures of him and others from the set in FUBAR t-shirts. Netflix finally learned, when Arnold wants something, you should give it to him. FUBAR it is!
Thank you, thank you, thank you to every single person who worked on FUBAR to make the show such a fantastic production. I can’t wait for all of you to see it on @netflix. pic.twitter.com/GUEzq6L9FP

Arnold also retweeted his costar Fortune Feimster's message about the show, saying "It was a blast working with you!" Fortune is a comedian with many TV and movie roles in the past decade. She was recently on Jimmy Kimmel and said that she got to really be in a lot of action for FUBAR, getting to shoot the bad guys by Arnold's side.
