NBC has announced chef and entrepreneur Rocco DiSpirito, film producer and Extra co-host Tracey Edmonds, digital influencer Justine "iJustine" Ezarik, TV host and former winner of The Celebrity Apprentice Leeza Gibbons, CEO businessman Gemma Godfrey, and fitness expert and former The Biggest Loser trainer Bob Harper will serve as boardroom advisers when The New Celebrity Apprentice premieres Monday, January 2 at 8PM ET/PT with back-to-back episodes.
These six boardroom advisers join previously-announced advisers Warren Buffett, Steve Ballmer, Tyra Banks, Jessica Alba and Arnold Schwarzenegger's nephew, entertainment attorney Patrick Knapp Schwarzenegger.
These advisers will assist new boss Arnold Schwarzenegger -- Donald Trump's replacement -- as he oversees 16 celebrity contestants competing to raise money for their favorite charities in challenging business-driven tasks. The winner of the show will receive a $250,000 check for his or her designated charity.
The New Celebrity Apprentice is the eighth celebrity version of the franchise and the fifteenth The Apprentice season overall.

Banks and Knapp Schwarzenegger will advise the contestants on the first two tasks that will be shown during the show's debut episodes.
After being divided into two teams, men vs. women, the celebrity contestants must create a 10-minute TYRA Beauty experience for the first task. One member from the losing team will be the first contestant going home.
For the second task of the season, the contestants will be asked to create an original song and video for Trident's "Cherish Your Teeth" campaign. Another elimination will take place at the end of Episode 2.
