On Thursday at 9pm ET, NBC launches the “recessionary” Apprentice, which will feature 16 out-of-work contestants who were impacted by the economic downturn. Two of Trump's children, Ivanka and Donald Jr., will serve as judges on the show.
CNBC and NBC are both units of NBC Universal.
Thursday’s show will be a two-hour premiere; the regular episodes will air each Thursday at 10pm ET.

Burnett said the contestants are “fighting back,” by “choosing” to appear on The Apprentice.
Trump said that today's workers need more technology skills than before, but added, “a job is a job: You’re smart, you work hard.”
