former host and U.S. President Donald Trump in his decision.
Arnold Schwarzenegger says he's through with The New Celebrity
Apprentice, and he's blaming U.S. President Donald Trump for the show's
recent poor performance. Read more after the cut...
The former California governor said
Friday he wouldn't mind working with NBC and producer Mark Burnett again
"on a show that doesn't have this baggage."
The show, which
Trump once hosted and has remained as an executive producer, finished
with the poorest ratings of any of its celebrity incarnations.
The most recent season ended last month and averaged fewer than 5 million viewers an episode.
Schwarzenegger said in an interview with the Empire website that
Trump's involvement left a "bad taste" that drove away sponsors and
viewers.
