The season marks the debut of Arnold Schwarzenegger—actor and former Governor of California, as host. The show's former host, Donald Trump, stated he opted to leave "out of respect" while he was focusing on his presidential campaign. NBC had also begun to cut ties with Trump following controversial remarks he made upon the start of his campaign in 2015. Trump remains as an executive producer through the show's production company, MGM Television. NBC announced the 16 contestants, as well as advisors Warren Buffett, Tyra Banks, Steve Ballmer, Jessica Alba and Patrick M. Knapp Schwarzenegger on January 28, 2016. On December 1, 2016, six more advisors were announced. Those advisers are former Celebrity Apprentice winner Leeza Gibbons, celebrity chef Rocco DiSpirito, Extra co-host Tracey Edmonds, The Biggest Loser host Bob Harper, YouTube star iJustine, and "Moola" CEO Gemma Godfrey. This season will be filmed in Los Angeles. Aside from the host and location, the most notable change from previous seasons is that the catch phrase that accompanies a candidate's termination has been changed from "You're fired" to "You're terminated", a reference to one of Schwarzenegger's most famous film roles.
