What led NBC to choose Arnold Schwarzenegger over Donald Trump to host the last season of its reality show?
The NBC reality show saw celebrities across the world contest their business and other such skills to raise a fund for their respective charitable organizations. While the business visionary Donald Trump hosted the show for 7 consecutive seasons, it was the Terminator actor who helmed the eighth installment to the series back in 2017.
NBC had informed the populace back in 2015 that it was the professional body builder’s passion for the show and “his fresh take on how to take it to new heights for today’s audiences, that made him the man to hire.”

Just before the announcement, NBC had almost put an end to its relations with Trump in the wake of election campaigns and his dubious remarks on the Mexican immigrants. However, for the good cause of fund raising, both the parties resolved their legal dispute and Trump extended his will to continue the show and raise millions of dollars for the worthy motive.
