The movie star and former governor replaces Trump going forward.
September 14, 2015
NBC announced today that the search is over for a new 'CEO' of The Celebrity Apprentice. International movie star Arnold Schwarzenegger will take over the duties from the departing Donald Trump, ushering in a new era for the long-running reality series.
"We are thrilled to be opening a powerful new chapter in the story of the Apprentice franchise," said the network's president of alternative programming, Paul Telegdy, in a press release. "Arnold Schwarzenegger is the epitome of a global brand in entertainment and business, and his accomplishments in the political arena speak for themselves. It was Arnold's personal passion for the format that Mark Burnett and Donald Trump built over the last decade, as well as his fresh take on how to take it to new heights for today's audiences, that made him the man to hire. The Celebrity Apprentice … will be back!"
NBC announced in August that it was parting ways with Trump, who hosted both versions of The Apprentice since its 2004 premiere. Though the search for a replacement did not take very long, the show will be skipping the current season and returning in 2016-2017.

I LOVE IT! Hahaha, Donald you lost your job to an immigrant! Suck on that. Would of been sweeter if it was a Mexican (George Lopez) but Arnold is awesome.

What do you know? Trump was right when he was scared that he would lose his job to an immigrant.

On other sites, I love the people who think is a good idea. How do so many people see this won't work?

Oh, dear. Shut up, "gen."
Who did you want, "Wil"? The overly politically correct George Lopez? Talk about "nope nope nope nope." Lopez would have been A DISASTER. So unfunny. So dumb.
Such resentment rears its ugly little troll heads again on this site.
DEAL WITH IT. Arnold accomplished more than you ever will.
If you didn't watch the show, why are you posting here other than to troll, "Derrick"?
No love lost if you don't post here again.
It's a brilliant move. The ratings will S O A R.
Mark my words, tolls.

Oh dear... bad idea. Maybe they are really trying to get the show cancelled

Nope. Nope. No! Tell me this is a joke. there are a crap load of people you could have chosen and you choose him. I love Schwarzenegger, but I don't think he would be the better replacement. Om my lord, my head hurts. Well I don't watch the show anyway so why do I care. Just thought you guys would choose better.

Great, the guy who acquitted a murderer as a political favor for one of his friends in charge of a reality show? I used to like Arnold until I figured that out; now he's just an a**hole. But then again I never watched this show in the first place, so no love lost, I guess.
