BURBANK, Calif.  March 5, 2007 -- This season of NBC's "The Apprentice: Los Angeles" will come to a close on Sunday, April 22 (10-11 p.m. ET) with a live finale at one of the most famous landmarks in Los Angeles  the Hollywood Bowl.

One of the largest natural amphitheaters in the world, the Hollywood Bowl is the ideal backdrop for the finale of this season's "Apprentice," which featured some of the most famous people and places in Los Angeles. The Hollywood Bowl has been the summer home of the Los Angeles Philharmonic since its official opening in 1922, and its concerts and music festivals featuring top performers and musicians have made the Bowl one of the most popular venues in southern California.

This season's Los Angeles-based competition began with eighteen enterprising candidates, each eager to claim the coveted title of Donald Trump's "Apprentice" and the career opportunity of a lifetime working for the legendary business tycoon. On April 22, Trump will choose which candidate will be his next "Apprentice" with those now-famous words: "You're hired!"
