Arnold Schwarzenegger’s ‘Celebrity Apprentice ‘ Announces Its Cast and Advisors
Celebrity Apprentice will be undergoing some big changes when it returns next season. Most notably, series star-turned-politico Arnold Schwarzenegger will assume “You’re fired!” duty from Donald Trump, and the series is relocating from New York City to Silicon Beach. And expect some high-end advisers, like billionaire Warren Buffett, actress Jessica Alba, multi-hyphenate Tyra Banks, former Microsoft exec Steve Ballmer and entertainment lawyer Patrick Knapp Schwarzenegger (Arnie’s nephew).
But don’t fret, the show won’t be getting a full-on Hollywood makeover. The celebrity cast, announced this morning, is still packed with the same type of D-listers and camp icons we’ve grown to expect. And while Celebrity Apprentice may never get back to its glory days of Annie Duke and Joan Rivers (forget today’s Twitter spats—remember thatfeud?), it’s still going for the gold. Here’s the lineup of new cast members and advisors:
