Episodes
Task: Selling Hot Dogs
The celebrities try their hand at one of the most quintessential New York jobs: hot dog vendor. The team that makes the most money wins. However, being famous has its privileges, as candidates try to use their contacts to sell wieners at $5,000 and $10,000 a pop. The stars not only bring out their famous friends (including New York Met David Wright ) to help, but they catch the eye of New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg. For the first time the 14 celebrities are stripped of their managers, personal assistants, agents, and publicists and are thrown out of their comfort zones. They quickly begin to size up each others egos as they come face to face trying to create a team name and captain.
Pedigree Adoption Drive Commercial
Each team must make a commercial for Pedigree dog food advertising their pet adoption drive.
Mr. Outside the Box
In next week's episode, Gene Simmons moves over to lead the women's team, but the ladies turn on him and his dictatorial style. Disaster strikes one team at the 11th hour when they spill coffee on their computer, ruin their graphics, and must face the consequences. The Kodak executives decide the winning team, and in the end, another celebrity is fired.
A Knight on Broadway
For the fourth task, the remaining celebrities are challenged with the task to run a one-day Broadway ticket booth under the biggest time crunch thus far, and the celebrities work feverishly, hawking tickets on the street. The teams are given eight Broadway Shows to choose from as they try their best at negotiating which four each team would sell. Two celebrities begin the task on the wrong foot, with a bitter argument. Piers Morgan tries to increase sales by dressing up in a knight's costume to sell tickets to 'Spamalot.' In the end, the team that makes the most money from ticket sales wins, and one celebrity is fired.
The Croc and the Rat
In this week's explosive two-hour episode, women's Team Empresario and men's Team Hyrdra work with very limited time to create an awareness campaign for Crocs' "Soles United" shoe donation program. Overnight, the two teams must create donation bins to be presented to the Crocs executives. In the process, Hydra team members Piers Morgan and Vinny Pastore shake things up with an explosive fight, and Vinny pretends to defect to Team Empresario - but is really a spy for the men. Vinny then turns double agent, but the secret gets out when he is left alone with Marilu Henner.
Window of Opportunity
The aftermath of last week's explosive episode of double-crossing, espionage, and lying continues as Stephen Baldwin asks to resign from the competition due to the conflicts between him and Piers. Meanwhile, the women's Team Empresario and the crumbling men's Team Hyrdra are each given an empty storefront, models, a construction crew and mattresses - to create a living window to promote Vera Wang mattresses by Serta. One team struggles with the leadership of their project manager, as they are asked to raise their hands before speaking, and the fallout from the Vinny and Piers fiasco continues to affect the various team members.
The Mane Event
When Donald Trump switches up the competing teams, rivals Piers Morgan and Omarosa are forced to work side by side for this week's challenge. The competition gets personal as they viciously attack each other throughout the task, with Piers attempting to fire Omarosa. On this week's episode, each team is asked to operate a horse and carriage business in Central Park. It's smooth sailing for one team that attracts a brisk business, while the other team falls apart at the seams.
Quality, Value and Chaos
After last week's volatile and disruptive exchange between Piers Morgan and Omarosa Donald Trump attempts to put things back on track with another team switch. They meet for the task delivery, and Trump sends them via helicopter to QVC Headquarters in Pennsylvania. Each team is responsible for writing, directing, and producing a sales segment live on QVC. It's Quality, Value, and Chaos on this task, as a few of the celebrities have sold items on the network before, but others have a significant learning curve.
The Money Shot
Celebrities are in search of the 'Money Shot' as they work together to create a four page advertorial for Dial Yogurt Body Wash, to be featured in Redbook Magazine's April issue.
Painting by Numbers
The competition gets fierce as the remaining six celebrities battle it out in a New York City art gallery as they must choose an artist, display their work and try to sell the pieces in a shared gallery space. In the boardroom, the battle between Piers and Omarosa continues and Omarosa, once again, goes below the belt with an outrageous accusation. Prompting Piers to come up with an equally outrageous defense, the likes of which have never before been seen on 'The Apprentice.'.
Bread and Badda-Bing
Last week's competition saw the seven celebrities battling it out in a New York City art gallery as they selected artists, displayed their work and sold the pieces in a shared gallery space. The project managers, Piers Morgan and Omarosa, were competing to make the most sales. In a stunning triumph, Piers took great pleasure in seeing his season long nemesis, Omarosa, pack her bags and leave the boardroom.
Going Once, Twice, You're Fired
In a surprise twist, the final four celebrities are called back into the boardroom and each celebrity is interviewed by CNBC'S Jim Cramer and Erin Burnett. Jim and Erin offer their insights to Donald Trump and the four finalists fight for their lives in a surprise Boardroom. The axe falls, and only two celebrities remain.

Highway Thru Hell focuses on a team of drivers who work for Jamie Davis, along with several other heavy recovery operations fighting to keep the roads open in some of the most dangerous working conditions ever seen on TV. The Coquihalla and nearby highways through BC's Cascade Mountains have some of the most difficult and fast changing road conditions anywhere. When it's snowing hard up top on the summit of ‘The Coq', 1200 metres below its pounding rain in The Fraser Valley. Add to that, Canada's busiest trucking route to the West Coast, Highway 1 (Trans Canada Hwy), and you have the ‘Bermuda Triangle' of trucking. Police and highway maintenance crews depend on Highway Thru Hell's heavy rescue operators to respond at a moment's notice in the worst conditions. In between the winter storms, the teams ‘off road' skills are put to the test. The rugged terrain near Hope, British Columbia dishes out some of the most unique and challenging recovery jobs over steep cliffs, down deep ravines and even in bodies of water. Highway Thru Hell is ultimately a series about man versus Mother Nature and the toughest men in the towing business being pushed to their breaking point. The stakes are high - lives, the economy and thousands of jobs depend on the highways staying open, and the last line of defense is Heavy Rescue.

Abbott Elementary
In this workplace comedy, a group of dedicated, passionate teachers — and a slightly tone-deaf principal — are brought together in a Philadelphia public school where, despite the odds stacked against them, they are determined to help their students succeed in life. Though these incredible public servants may be outnumbered and underfunded, they love what they do — even if they don't love the school district's less-than-stellar attitude toward educating children.
Wild Cards
Wild Cards follows the unlikely duo of a gruff, sardonic cop and a spirited, clever con woman. Ellis, a demoted detective, has unfortunately spent the last year on the maritime unit, while Max has been living a transient life elaborately scamming everyone she meets. But when Max gets arrested and ends up helping Ellis solve a local crime, the two are offered the opportunity to redeem themselves, with Ellis going back to detective and Max staying out of jail. The catch? They have to work together, with each using their unique skills to solve crimes. For Ellis, that means hard-boiled shoe leather police work; for Max, it means accents, schemes and generally befriending everyone in sight, while driving Ellis absolutely nuts. Against the backdrop of beautiful Vancouver — with all its unique, charming, and even contradictory neighbourhoods and subcultures — the two will have to learn what it means to trust another person and maybe actually become partners.
Hell's Kitchen
