Hire of the Day: Arnold Schwarzenegger Will Replace Donald Trump as 'Celebrity Apprentice' Host

Get your ass to NBC!

If you had a list of the people likely to replace Donald Trump in his hosting duties on Celebrity Apprentice, Arnold Schwarzenegger would be at darn near the top of it.

The Hill has the story:

The network announced Monday morning that the former California governor will take over the seat relinquished by the GOP presidential front-runner when the show returns to the air next year.

"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 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!"

It's a bit politically interesting seeing the celebrity-turned-governor replacing the celebrity-turned-presidential-candidate. If only there wasn't that damn law that required an American birth, we could very well have a President Schwarzenegger.

Wonder if Trump would then demand to see his birth certificate.

Trump trumpeted the announcement on his Twitter account.

Congrats to my friend @Schwarzenegger who is doing next season's Celebrity Apprentice. He'll be great & will raise lots of $ for charity.
