Celebrity Apprentice 2016 Cast #Spoilers
Arnold is replacing Donald, and the action will shift to Los Angeles, where NBC Thursday unveiled the 16 contestants competing for boardroom supremacy in NBC’s #CelebrityApprentice.
The lineup, as usual, features the semi-famous and the formerly famous athletes, actors and reality-TV stars, vying in business-themed challenges and avoiding getting “fired” to support their favorite charity. The big difference: Actor and former California governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, is replacing Donald Trump as host and boss of the boardroom, after NBC fired him when he began his presidential campaign.
Reality standouts competing are Kyle Richards and Porsha Williams! The Real Housewives divas, will be put to the test as part of the cast for the new season of The Celebrity Apprentice 2016.
Kyle and Porsha shared their excitement for joining the business competition series on social media.
