Schwarzenegger Quits 'Celebrity Apprentice,' Citing Show's 'Baggage'

That didn't take long.

Arnold Schwarzenegger announced that has left his post as host of "The Celebrity Apprentice" after just one season, saying that he'd be happy to work with the team involved again if not for the "baggage" associated with President Donald Trump's old show.

How could schwarzeneggar and burnett not have been smart enough to know that the show would bomb with having tRUMP be the executive producer??! Didn't they know that the tRUMP name would cause a backlash??

That'd be great. He could wear his colossal, bejeweled cowboy hat while packing two pearl handled Colt 45s. Clarke could make his judgement calls on top of Gene Autry's stuffed horse.

It's a shitty show anyway, "What the hell do you have to lose?"
