When Arnold Schwarzenegger took on the role of Celebrity Apprentice, 45 was still running for President. As we know 45 won, but his old show became a loser because of that. The Governator had to take abuse from the former head of the boardroom when the ratings started to decline. Some say that was because 45 is still an EP on the reality competition show.
Well today, weeks after the season finale aired, Arnuld made a decision about his future with the show. He told Empire, “I learned a lot, I had a great time, it was a really great opportunity.” Then he added, “But under the circumstances I don’t want to do it again.”
Doesn’t sounds like he will reconsider because he also said, “Even if asked [to do it again] I would decline.” Explaining it is because “With Trump being involved in the show people have a bad taste and don’t want to participate as a spectator or as a sponsor or in any other way support the show. It’s a very divisive period now and I think this show got caught up in all that division.”
He is not alone because several sponsors have also dropped out because 45 is still making money off of the show.
Will the show be back? Probably not, but you never know. The ratings were lackluster, so it would make sense if NBC decided to be done with it.
Plus, it seems like their reality sucess has gone in a different direction. They do better with physical competition shows than financial ones. I am sure they can do a celebrity version of one and it would do well. Although, it looks like that ABC will be getting Battle of the Network Stars. Thus, NBC could compete with that. And I would watch. Would you?
