The eighth seasons of the show now comes under the command of host Arnold Schwarzenegger, who is replacing GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump. Schwarzenegger will be joined by billionaire Warren Buffett, LA Clippers owner Steve Ballmer, former supermodel Tyra Banks, actress and mogul Jessica Alba and Schwarzenegger’s nephew, Patrick Schwarzenegger in the boardroom.
