IT'S TWICE THE TRUMP FOR ONE NIGHT ONLY WITH BACK-TO-BACK EPISODES OF NBC'S "THE APPRENTICE" MONDAY, APRIL 10, 9-11 PM ET/PT

NEW YORK -- April 6, 2006 -- For one night only, NBC will air back-to-back episodes of "The Apprentice" (Monday, April 10 at 9-11 p.m. ET/PT). The candidates in the first hour hammer it out in the renovation business as the teams are given their seventh task - create an activity area in a local Boys & Girls Club as part of Ace Hardware's charity program. In the second hour, the candidates launch a new pizza sandwich and a losing team gains an opposing teammate.

In the first hour, Gold Rush tries to nail down a win when Lenny volunteers to be the project manager, hoping to prove to The Donald that he can lead the team to victory - but he is troubled with managing a negative teammate (Monday, April 10, 9-10 p.m. ET/PT). Michael, the project manager for Synergy, has a good concept, but drives his team crazy. The winners help make a child's dream come true by partnering with the "Make A Wish Foundation," while the losers face a hammering in the boardroom.

In the second all-new episode of "The Apprentice," the remaining candidates launch a new pizza sandwich for 7-Eleven, one candidate volunteers to switch sides to help out a losing team, while the team tries to make the biggest sale imaginable (Monday, April 10th, 10-11 p.m. ET/PT). The winners jet out of town to dine with U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer, while the losers get grilled in the boardroom.
