Schwarzenegger replaces longtime host and current GOP presidential hopeful Donald Trump, who was fired in June after making controversial comments about Mexican immigrants.
The 68-year-old Schwarzenegger said this about his enthusiasm for the new gig, which can and should only be read in his voice:
Schwarzenegger served two terms as governor of California, managing more than 300,000 state employees and a state budget in the hundreds of billions. He has successfully invested in both real estate and sports franchises, and is known to millions globally for his starring role in the "Terminator" film franchise. His films, over a six-decade career, have grossed billions of dollars in worldwide box office. The former governor will replace Donald Trump who, in his role as host of the seven seasons of The Celebrity Apprentice, helped raise more than $15 million for charity.
