On last night's episode of NBC's CELEBRITY APPRENTICE entitled "How Much is That Celebrity in the Window?", actor George Takei took on the role of project manager of the men's team, 'Unanimous' while Dayana Mendoza was named project manager of the women's team, 'Forte'.  Unfortunately for the men, the project did not go as planned and Takei was ultimately fired by Donald Trump. 

The teams are tasked with creating storefront window displays for the Ivanka Trump Collection. The women's Project Manager found herself in over her head, while the men all rally behind their leader but lose faith when he checks out early. Boardroom advisors on the episode were Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump  

In the end, the final three contestants left in the boardroom were George Takei, Arsenio Hall and Lou Ferrigno.

This season celebrity contestants will compete, not for a job with the Trump Organization, but for the greater goal of raising money and awareness for their charity of choice. The last person standing will be "hired" as the Celebrity Apprentice and have the honor of delivering a $250,000 bonus check to their designated charity.

Every week, the celebrity contestants will work in two teams, each under the guidance of a designated project manager, to compete in business-driven tasks around New York City, using their fame, along with their proven business acumen, to win challenges. Contestants are subjected to long hours, grueling deadlines, intellectual challenges, personality clashes and intense scrutiny under the careful watch of Donald Trump and his advisors.

Certain challenges encourage contestants to reach out to their network of celebrity contacts for assistance or donations, leading to surprise visits by some of the world's biggest stars and pop culture icons.

Each task will end in the Board Room, where contestants must account for their actions and be judged by Trump and his advisors. Returning this season are Trump's children and colleagues, Ivanka, Donald Jr. and Eric.
