You're... hired? On Monday, NBC announced that Arnold Schwarzenegger, international film star and former governor of California, would take over Donald Trump's previous gig as the host of the network's popular reality TV show The Celebrity Apprentice.
Trump "made it clear that he wanted The Celebrity Apprentice to be able to continue to raise millions of dollars annually for worthy causes, and now NBC and I have found an amazing new leader to do just that," said executive producer Mark Burnett. NBC dumped Trump in June after he made derogatory comments about Mexican immigrants.
