Huge Hollywood star reveals Netflix have AXED his first TV show for a surprisingly saucy reason
And the veteran action hero says the huge popularity of his son Patrick in Sky's The White Lotus is partly to blame.
Arnie told NBC's Seth Meyers: 'Patrick blew it out of the water. Before, all the people came up to me in the gym and said 'Arnold get in touch with me, especially girls.
'And as soon as White Lotus came out, this girl says: 'here is my contact'. I said: 'well thank you'. She replied: 'No, no, no, for Patrick'.
'Now everything is about Patrick, Patrick, Patrick.'
But the reality is Netflix bosses pulled the plug after Fubar had poor ratings.
Arnie played a CIA operative forced to shelve retirement.
The show clearly couldn't compete with Patrick flashing his privates as alpha male Saxon on The White Lotus.

Teddi Mellencamp breaks down in tears asking if cancer diagnosis was 'payback' for her affair
Former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Teddi Mellencamp finally broke her silence regarding the alleged affair with her horse trainer, Simon Schroeder. While appearing on Tuesday's episode of The Jamie Kern Lima Show podcast, the reality star, 44, opened up about the controversy that made headlines in late 2024. 'I've never talked about it at all, just because of the kids, and I've never wanted anybody to have a guarantee whether it happened or didn't happen,' Mellencamp explained. 'But what I can say is, did I do things that hurt other people? Yes.' As her eyes welled with tears, the mother-of-three reflected on how deeply the situation continues to affect her, without confirming or denying whether the cheating scandal occurred. 'To this day, does it still hurt my heart and I wonder if that's why I got cancer? Yes, like it was my payback,' she said, referencing her ongoing battle with stage 4 cancer after her melanoma spread to her brain and lungs. 'Nothing goes without payment,' she added. 'However long it was … it was all over the press, it was everywhere. You're trying to minimize everybody's pain. You end up maximizing it. Because now not only do you have yourself, you have your significant other, your kids, the other person's significant other, their kids.' Court records confirm that Schroeder's ex-wife, Karli Schroeder, filed for divorce on December 30, 2024, just months after rumors of an affair began circulating. The documents, obtained by People, cited irreconcilable differences and revealed that the couple had remarried on April 14, 2024, after annulling a prior marriage in February. They officially separated on September 22, 2024. The allegations involving Simon emerged while Mellencamp was also going through a difficult period in her personal life. She had filed for divorce from her husband of 13 years, Edwin Arroyave, on November 1, 2024, also citing irreconcilable differences. Then, in February 2025, Mellencamp publicly revealed her cancer diagnosis, pausing the divorce proceedings. Despite everything, Mellencamp and Arroyave have remained close and have a amicable co-parenting relationship. The former couple share three children: Slate, 12, Cruz, 10, and Dove, 5. 'I always knew he'd do the right thing by me,' she said during the podcast. 'If he wanted to, he could still be filing and finishing this divorce off right now. But… it was like, 'Yeah, of course. No, we'll wait. We'll wait until she's better, and then we'll figure it out.' When asked directly about her role in the scandal, Mellencamp didn't shy away from the wreckage left behind. 'So many people are hurt in the wreckage,' she said. 'But I can say this from knowing — the wreckage doesn't happen on its own. It never had happened to me,' she said. She acknowledged she was in a dark place mentally and physically during that period. 'I think I was so broken as a human being during that part of my life that I did things out of my better judgment,' she admitted. 'I was so sick.' Mellencamp revealed she had been experiencing 'severe and debilitating headaches' for months before doctors discovered tumors. 'I was looking for comfort anywhere I can get it. I felt so much pain. I felt so sick. I didn't go to the doctors. I just felt some certain kind of way,' she said. 'The pain was so much that I had gotten to the point of like, almost hating waking up in the morning, which I had never been that kind of person.' Still, she emphasized that illness doesn't excuse her choices. 'I wasn't myself, but I'm not going to blame my alleged actions on the fact that I was sick,' Mellencamp said. 'But I do think a bunch of things happened in my life all around the same time, and I had zero control of any of them. Like I just was running around like a chicken with my head cut off.'

Stephen Colbert: ‘What you thought you knew is just history'
Late-night hosts dig into Donald Trump's firing of the Bureau of Labor Statistics commissioner and an unnerving story about radioactive wasps. 'You know something? No, you don't,' said Stephen Colbert on Monday's Late Show. 'Because things cannot be known any more. What you thought you knew is just history.' Especially history, as the Smithsonian removed Trump from the impeachment exhibit in the American history museum. 'Oh, now you care about what's in the American history museum!' Colbert joked to loud boos from the crowd. 'Where was that enthusiasm when dad worked so hard to plan the family trip to DC?' The museum reportedly removed a label noting both of Trump's impeachments – for bribing Ukraine, and for his role in the January 6 riots – after pressure from a White House content review. 'That kind of pressure explains why the Smithsonian exhibit of the 1960s now says that the Vietnam war was started by Jimmy Kimmel,' Colbert joked. The exhibit now says that 'only three presidents have seriously faced removal', instead of four. 'Come on! If you're going to completely make up presidential history, make it fun,' said Colbert. A new report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics also confirmed that Trump has overseen the worst period of US job growth since the pandemic. So naturally, Trump responded by firing the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. 'No, you fool! Now there's one less job,' Colbert joked. 'But it makes sense – he fires anyone who gives him bad news.' 'Here's the problem with this: having people in the government who know stuff is pretty important,' Colbert added. 'If Trump starts fudging the job numbers it could backfire, by eroding the trust of investors, companies and organizations.' In other Trump news, the White House unveiled plans for a new $200m ballroom, with gold chandeliers and floor-to-ceiling windows. 'Presidents are allowed to do a little renovation, of course. The Obamas added a vegetable garden. Truman and Nixon both added bowling lanes, and Jimmy Carter famously added a sex dungeon,' Colbert joked. But Trump has already paved over the historic rose garden with concrete, to make room for more seating. 'It reminds me of the poem,' Colbert laughed. 'Roses are red. Concrete is white. This place looks like shit now.' And on Late Night, Seth Meyers reacted to a report that a radioactive wasp nest was found at a site in South Carolina that once made nuclear bomb material. The nest reportedly had nuclear contamination levels 10 times higher than what is allowed by regulations. 'I guess my bug spray is going to continue to not work,' Meyers joked. 'I have so many questions,' he continued. 'What do you mean 10 times higher than what's allowed? I wasn't aware there was a certain level of radiation that's allowed for wasps. Is there like a sweet spot level that is low enough not to kill us all but high enough that if a kid on a field trip gets bitten he might turn into a superhero?' 'If I've spent too much time on this wasp story, it's because the rest of the news is shit and I'm stalling,' he added, moving to the next worse story: a product recall of High Noon vodka sodas mislabeled as Celsius Astro Vibe Sparkling Blue Razz energy drinks. 'If you can't trust Celsius Astro Vibe Sparkling Blue Razz, who can you trust?' Meyers quipped. 'Because, you know, I care about what I put in my body. So when I throw back a Celsius Astro Vibe Sparkling Blue Razz, I want to know it has the stuff I care about. Like blue, and razz. Celsius Astro Vibe Sparkling Blue Razz might be what made the wasps radioactive?' 'I think we should embrace this combo moving forward, because the two things I need living in these trying times are energy and to be a little bit drunk.' Meyers also touched on the news that Trump fired the commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, after his report found that US jobs growth had basically ground to a halt. 'Trump doesn't know how to solve a problem. He only knows how to cover it up,' Meyers said. 'And that's the hallmark of a corrupt autocracy. When the numbers are bad, just fire the people in charge of the numbers. If you're caught up in a scandal, dangle a pardon to get out of it.' But 'the problem is it's backfiring', he concluded. 'These stories won't go away. That's why Trump always looks like a guy who's been stung by a thousand radioactive wasps.'
