The decision to put an end to Celebrity Apprentice for the time being was apparently made a while ago.
Politics became a part of the show, even if unintentionally, when an executive producer was elected President of the United States, and who watches Celebrity Apprentice for politics?
Staffers who had spent years working in the Apprentice franchise were informed earlier this year that they could start searching for other jobs.
There’s also the fact that Arnold Schwarzenegger has already stated that he wouldn’t return for another season, even if the show was renewed.
