Hear Arnold Schwarzenegger Try Out ‘Apprentice’ Catchphrases For Hosting Gig
Since it was announced that Arnold Schwarzenegger would take over for Donald Trump on The Apprentice, many wondered if he would follow in Donald’s footsteps and say the popular catchphrase, “You’re fired!”
While we don’t know which catchphrase Arnold will use for The Apprentice, if at all, he does have several of his own catchphrases from his popular movies to pick from. Schwarzenegger decided to briefly try out a few of the ones he might use on the show in a Facebook video. In a post he said, “I can not wait to say you’re fired, you’re terminated, or you won’t be back.”
In a statement to Variety, the show’s producer, Mark Burnett, said of the decision, “After leaving the show to run for political office, Donald 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. Gov. Schwarzenegger will use his vast and highly successful business, political and media experience to drive this hit franchise to new heights.”
Since replacing Donald Trump, fans have been more than enthusiastic about Schwarzenegger’s new gig.

With all the noise about Arnold on The Apprentice, it was only a matter of time before former host Donald Trump aired his thoughts on his successor. Shockingly, Trump only had the kindest words for Arnold.
Congrats to my friend @Schwarzenegger who is doing next season’s Celebrity Apprentice. He’ll be great & will raise lots of $ for charity.

To all my fans, sorry I couldn’t do The Apprentice any longer—but equal time (presidential run) prohibits me from doing so. Love! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 14, 2015
Arnold also tweeted in gratitude about everyone’s support for his Apprentice gig.
Wow. I’m blown away and honored by all your tweets. I can’t wait to bring my experience to the board room & raise millions for charity.
