Arnold Schwarzenegger reveals his Celebrity Apprentice firing catchphrase

The actor managed to reference two of his previous films

Finally, after months of secrecy, Arnold Schwarzenegger has finally debuted his catchphrase on The New Celebrity Apprentice: “You're terminated. Get to the chopper.”

The first part of the phrase, as many will know, references Arnie’s 1984 film The Terminator, while the second comes from the 1987 sci-fi action film Predator. Throughout the show, there were various references to his past Hollywood endeavours.

Speaking previously told The Hollywood Reporter about choosing the right catchphrase: "We narrowed it down to, like, eight of my sayings from the movies and one other option, but even I don't know yet.”

The first episode of the eighth series aired on Monday, 2 January, with Tyra Banks guest starring as an advisor to the two competing teams. YouTube personality Carrie Keagan was the first to be “terminated” from the show, with a helicopter picking her up.

Schwarzenegger replaced Donald Trump as host of the NBC series, the latter now President-elect of the United States. The Terminator star currently has seven film projects on the go, including The Expendables 4, Why We're Killing Gunther, and The Legend of Conan.
