If you’re looking for business advice, you could do a lot worse than the third richest man in the world, Warren Buffett.

The CEO of Berkshire Hathaway (BRKA) will lend his considerable business acumen to the contestants in an upcoming episode of NBC’s Celebrity Apprentice, according to a press release. The 8th season of the show will be hosted by former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger as celebrity contestants like Mötley Crüe’s Vince Neil and football star Ricky Williams compete for the chance to win $250,000 for their favorite charity.

The new iteration of the show will be filmed in Silicon Beach, Los Angeles, which NBC calls “Southern California’s ever-growing technology hub.” The show will feature other big names in business, like former Microsoft (MSFT) CEO Steve Ballmer and supermodel Tyra Banks, as they look to lend their business smarts to the celebrity contestants.

Though Buffett is best known for his investing skills, he did show off his comedy chops at Fortune’s Most Powerful Women Summit in October. Perhaps there’s a future in television for the 85-year-old after all.
