Arnold Schwarzenegger to Replace Donald Trump as Host of Celebrity Apprentice

When Donald Trump first began his presidential bid just a few months ago, people around the world were worried… worried about the future of NBC’s Celebrity Apprentice, I mean. Then Trump started saying a lot of crazy things and NBC officially ended their partnership with him, while making it clear that they intended to continue the show without him. Of course, we all had our doubts about whether they could actually find someone to fill The Donald’s shoes, but this week it appears that they have indeed found the perfect replacement. The new host of Celebrity Apprentice will be… Arnold Schwarzenegger?!! NBC’s Paul Telegdy had this to say about the announcement:


“We are thrilled to be opening a powerful new chapter in the story of the Apprentice franchise… 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!”

While Arnold does not have anywhere near the same level of legitimate business experience as Trump, let’s face it… that is completely irrelevant to Celebrity Apprentice. The important thing is that he will be equally as awkward and hilarious on camera. At the moment, it is unclear if any of Trump’s children will remain involved in the show and we still don’t know when the new season might be happening. What do you think… will Arnold Schwarzenegger be the ultimate replacement host for Celebrity Apprentice?

    I love it. I just love it.

    Is the catch-phrase “You’re fired” trademarked at all to the show or Trump himself? Arnie could always bring back “Get Dowwwwwn!”.

    The Boardroom podcast season 2 is shaping up to be outstanding.

    “You’re Terminated!” seems like the way to go.

    As long as Amanda is still in reception, does anyone really care?

    The first round of ‘celebrities’ on the new season should be the entire cast of Predator (yeah, I’m looking at you Jessie Ventura!). Instead of leaving in a car when they get fired, they should leave via the roof in a helicopter just so Arnie can quietly say “get to the chopper” each time he eliminates someone.

    You could have another team of actors from the Alien franchise, it could be Celebrity Apprentice: Alien vs. Predator. Pretty sure Lance Henriksen and Paul Reiser got nothing better going on right now.

    And the winner gets to govern California. Nice.

    Well, Geraldo does need some incentive to come back.

    In our North American news cycle, it seems like a prerequisite to be sickened to your stomach. Whether it be a horrifying public shooting or a horribly inefficient American government that seems to want to make every single issue a partisan one, it’s often easier to not even seek out a news outlet. But now a beacon of line is permeating our collective window curtains. An individual with the power to imbue happiness into each and everyone of us is joining the Super Friends in the Hall of great television. Ahnuld is coming to the Celebrity Apprentice, and this cold, uncaring reality we live in, has just gotten immensely more pleasant.

    Trumps kids better not be around. They have as much charisma as a bag of yams.

    Will Donald Pump be starring in ‘Trumping Iron’ next?
