NEW YORK METS SUPERSTAR MIKE PIAZZA GUEST STARS IN TOMORROW NIGHT�S EPISODE OF NBC�S HIT 'THE APPRENTICE' (SEPTEMBER 23, 9-10 pm ET)

NEW YORK -- September 22, 2004 �- Episode three of "The Apprentice" begins on September 23 at 9pm ET with the dramatic aftermath from Bradford's firing and Ivana attempts to come to her senses after narrowly escaping Trump's wrath. "Mosaic" and "Apex" are then summoned by Trump for task #3: to create an innovative, grass-roots public relations campaign for Crest Refreshing Vanilla Mint toothpaste. Working within an established budget, teams were judged by Procter & Gamble executives based upon their ability to create the most buzz for this new product.

New York Mets superstar Mike Piazza makes a surprise appearance during the episode and it has an impact on the outcome of this week's task.

Trump shakes things up in the boardroom again as the third person is fired. "There were not enough cameras to cover the mayhem in this week's boardroom," said Creator and Executive Producer, Mark Burnett.

"The Apprentice" is produced by Mark Burnett Productions in association with Trump Productions LLC. Mark Burnett, Donald Trump and Jay Bienstock are executive producers. Conrad Riggs and Kevin Harris are co-executive producers.
