Series Description:

The Apprentice series is a 60 minute competitive reality show on NBC where a group of contestants who compete against each other in business-related tasks in order to win the grand prize ... a one year job running one of Donald Trump's companies! Each week's competition ends in a winning team getting a reward and the losing team "going to the board room" where one will be fired by Mr. Trump. The final competition each season is between the two surviving contestants and results in one of them being "hired" by Mr. Trump and becoming "The Apprentice"!

The Apprentice Trivia:

The Apprentice was nominated for an Emmy in the category, "Outstanding Reality-Competition Program", in both 2004 and 2005. "The Amazing Race" won both years.

When Donald Trump fires an Apprentice contestant and sends the others out of the boardroom, one to ride the elevator down to failure and the others to ride up to success ... well, in real life, the boardroom is actually on the same floor as the contestants' suite.

Donald Trump's father, was a multi-millionaire. He made his millions developing homes, apartment buildings, and high rises in New York. Donald's marriage to Ivana Trump lasted nearly 15 years. They had three children together: Donald Jr., Ivanka, and Eric. Donald was married to Marla Maples for 5 1/2 years. They had one daughter together named Tiffany. Donald's latest marriage to Melania Knauss was on January 22, 2005. At the time this is written, (June 21, 2005), they are expecting their first child soon. Donald was 2 years older than his first wife on their wedding day, 17 years older than his second wife, and 25 years older than the third.

During late August of 2006, it was announced that Carolyn Kepcher had been fired from the Trump organization. Donald Trump stated that he wished her well and had no further comment. It seems, however, that Carolyn had been fielding numerous book. TV, speaking engagement, and product endorsement offers lately and Trump even had trouble reaching her a short time before her termination while Carolyn was out of town giving a speech.

George Ross has been working with Donald Trump since 1974. He has a Bachelor of Arts Degree from Clemson University and a bachelor of laws degree (LLB) from Brooklyn Law School. George has two children.

Carolyn Kepcher has worked for Donald Trump for 12 years (as of March 2006). Her current job title is "Chief Operating Officer: Trump National Golf Clubs". She also has two children.

Of all the Apprentice TV series's contestants so far, Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth was possibly the most successful at using the series as a way to get into show business. She has starred on another reality series, "The Surreal Life" and "Battle of the Network Reality Stars". She has appeared on talk series including, "The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch", "Dr. Phil", "Soap Talk", "The View", "Larry King Live", and "Live with Regis and Kathie Lee". She's done walk-on parts on "Passions" (as herself) and "Girlfriends" (as a character named "Trina"). Omarosa even hosted the "30th Annual Mrs. America Pagent"! Can the "in your face" naughty-girl of reality TV keep it up? Only time will tell!

The Apprentice Theme Song Lyrics

Title: "For The Love Of Money"

Written and Performed By: "The O'Jays"

For the love of money,
People will rob their own brother.

For the love of money,
People can't even walk the street,
Because they never know who in the world they're gonna beat,
For that lean, mean, mean green,
Almighty dollar, money.
