Schwarzenegger is taking over hosting duties from Donald Trump, who was the face of the show for the first 14 seasons. Last year, NBC severed ties with the businessman and presidential candidate after his controversial comments regarding immigrants from Mexico.
“I have always been a huge fan of The Celebrity Apprentice and the way it showcases the challenges and triumphs of business and teamwork,” Schwarzenegger previously 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!”
