The Celebrity Apprentice has named the actor and twice-elected California governor as the new host of the reality competition, NBC announced Monday.

Schwarzenegger replaces longtime host Donald Trump, who parted ways with NBC shortly after he announced his presidential campaign in June.

The network first said it planned to "re-evaluate" Trump's role on the reality competition — which stems back to its 2005 debut — in June when Trump announced he was running for president. At the time, NBC's stance was due to the strict rules networks must abide by in giving equal screen time to all presidential candidates.

However, NBC severed all ties with Trump in July after he made what NBC deemed to be "derogatory statements" about Mexican immigrants. In a June 16 speech, he referred to Mexican immigrants as "rapists" and as people bringing drugs and crime into the U.S. in a speech announcing his presidential campaign.
