"The Apprentice" live season finale, Thursday, December 15 from 9-11pm ET. The two-hour finale will be broadcast live at Lincoln Center and will feature the conclusion of the final two tasks, a cast reunion and ultimately the live boardroom hiring of Trump's newest employee who will receive a $250,000 'apprenticeship.'.

The final two are faced with their toughest tasks to date. They must each manage massive charity events. After battling with one another to pick "employees" to help them, one candidate coordinates a celebrity softball game, while the other transforms a downtown nightclub into a star-studded comedy event. A finalist is left reeling after a star cancellation and Mother Nature threatens to destroy the other's plans.

The final four candidates are tasked to create a promotional video for one of the biggest companies in the world: Microsoft. It's a dog eat dog world as one team sabotages another team's plans. But does it give them the advantage? It's smooth sailing for the winners, while the losers toss tact aside in a tearful boardroom.

The five remaining candidates face off in the multi-billion dollar fragrance industry. One team gets wind of the competition's plans while the other is forced to retaliate in an all-out street war. The winners saddle up with a world-famous country music star, while the losers mosey over to the boardroom where the 14th candidate is fired.

The final six get in touch with their inner-rockstar selves when challenged to write and produce an original song for satellite radio. One team packages its singer for the wrong market while the other scores a hit live, on-air. The winners get a chance to experience what work is really like for the original "Apprentice" while the losers face the music in the boardroom when the 13th candidate is fired.

The candidates square off in the glitzy film business and work with one of the biggest movie franchises of all time: Star Wars. One candidate turns to the dark side against their teammates while another abandons their team in the final minutes. The winners learn first-hand what it means to be The Apprentice while the losers face the revenge of The Donald in the boardroom.

The candidates take a recess from studying The Donald and become teachers themselves. Things become heated when one candidate makes a derogatory comment towards a teammate. The winners get schooled in high fashion while the losers debate it out in the boardroom and the 10th candidate is expelled from Trump Tower.

The candidates go head-to-head in the big business arena of sporting goods. One team spends the task in left field, while the other struggles with a candidate who's not up-to-par. The winners enjoy the thrill of victory and jet out of town, while the losers suffer the agony of defeat in a no-holds-barred boardroom.

The teams design a parade float to promote a new sci-fi adventure film. One candidate skyrockets the team to success, while another transforms into a complete space cadet. The winners collaborate with a musical genius, while the losers battle it out in the boardroom, where the fifth candidate is fired.

Relationships turn chilly as the candidates create a new promotional character for a blended ice cream drink. One candidate amusingly gets in touch with his feminine side, while another lets down their team in a big way. The winners spend the day with big leaguers, while the losers find themselves back in the boardroom.

The candidates tackle the world of high technology and put on dueling expos for seniors. One candidate pushes all the wrong buttons, while another delivers a stale performance. The winners enjoy a priceless reward with children, while in the boardroom, the losers are blindsided by their project manager. The 3rd candidate is fired.

Eighteen new would-be billionaires convene at Trump National Golf Club to set out on their grueling 13-week job interview. After a frantic start, the teams battle it out in the billion-dollar fitness business. One candidate loses their cool and another is useless under pressure as both teams race to the finish. The winning project manger deals with a new "exemption" rule while the losers are beaten up in the boardroom and the first candidate is fired.
