Arnold Schwarzenegger replacing Donald Trump on ‘The Celebrity Apprentice.’
No, not out of the political arena (perhaps to the disappointment of some); instead NBC has announced Trump’s official replacement on reality TV’s Celebrity Apprentice.
“During the Arab oil embargo of 1973, he reported that he saw arbitrage opportunities in the Los Angeles market, and he leapt on them aggressively…Schwarzenegger is adamant that it was real estate, not bodybuilding and acting, that helped him make his first million.”
“Let’s get started!”
Schwarzenegger served two terms as governor of California, managing more than 300,000 state employees and a state budget in the hundreds of billions. Each one incorporated one of the “Terminator Genisys” actor’s previous movies. The show premieres September 22 on Fox.
In case you’ve been exploring a very large cave the past six months, know that Trump quit the show because he’s running for the Republican presidential nomination.
“Congrats to my friend @Schwarzenegger who is doing next season’s Celebrity Apprentice“.
NBC and Trump appear to have buried any ill will. In Monday’s announcement, network executives spoke warmly of Trump and his desire to see the show continue with a new host.
NBC also cancelled its airing of the Miss U.S. pageant, an event it jointly owned with Trump. In The Celebrity Apprentice, business-savvy celebrity contestants work in teams and are asked to perform various tasks and win challenges, all the while employing a business model that promotes teamwork and, hopefully, ends with a financially successful outcome – all for a worthy charity. “Gov. Schwarzenegger will use his vast and highly successful business, political and media experience to drive this hit franchise to new heights”.
