Despite being the president-elect, Donald Trump is not getting fired from his spot as the executive producer of NBC’s Celebrity Apprentice , according to Variety .
Early next year the Celebrity Apprentice will return with a new host, Arnold Schwarzenegger, but Trump won’t be entirely uninvolved.
According to Variety , the confirmation that Trump would remain one of multiple executive producers came from MGM, which owns the Apprentice franchise. It is not clear what Trump's exact role as executive producer will be as the role can range widely. Some executive producers are given the title but do not have to actively work on the project.
