Broadcast listing — not a TV Flash recap.
In Part 2 of the season finale, one finalist is horrified to realize that Kathy Griffin has missed the start of the tournament, and that Mr. Trump's golf team is missing a player. The other scrambles to meet the challenge of feeding 450 people before the Liza Minnelli concert. Cheap tournament prizes embarrass one finalist, but Liza Minnelli's performance wows the crowd and the evening ends on a high note. The next day, Donald Trump makes his final decision - one candidate is fired, and the other becomes The Apprentice.
