NEW YORK, Aug. 22 (UPI) -- NBC has released a 35-second promo video introducing the new host of its business-themed competition series The Celebrity Apprentice.

The clip shows robotic parts assembling to form Arnold Schwarzenegger, a nod to his career in The Terminator cyborg film franchise. It also features the action star and ex-governor of California uttering the probable catchphrase, "Let's get down to business."

"Brains, brawn and business acumen -- we're building a better boss. Watch The New Celebrity Apprentice, coming in January to NBC," a note accompanying the teaser said.

The show's previous host was current Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, who was known for saying, "You're fired!" to eliminated contestants on The Celebrity Apprentice.
