*Porsha Williams, Laila Ali, Eric Dickerson, Lisa Leslie and Ricky Williams are among the contestants set for the first “Celebrity Apprentice” under new host Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Tyra Banks, Warren Buffett, Steve Ballmer and Jessica Alba have signed on as advisors for the show’s eighth season, with Schwarzenegger stepping in for former host and current presidential candidate Donald Trump.
Exiting along with Trump will be his catchphrase “You’re fired.” NBC exec Paul Telegdy has said that a new dismissal has been chosen, but would remain a secret until the first episode premieres. NBC has yet to set that date.
Who wants to bet it will be either “You’re Terminated” or Hasta La Vista?”
Rounding out the new crop of 16 stars: Brooke Burke-Charvet, Boy George, Matt Iseman, Carrie Keagan, Carson Kressley, Jon Lovitz, Vince Neil, Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, Kyle Richards, Chael Sonnen and Carnie Wilson.
Also joining Schwarzenegger as a boardroom advisor is his nephew, entertainment attorney Patrick Knapp Schwarzenegger.
