NBC Universal announced today that The Apprentice: Martha Stewart finale will be broadcast live on Wednesday, Dec. 21, from 8-10 pm ET/PT.

"You have to communicate, you have to know the product, you have to believe in the product and sell that product to the widest possible audience," says Stewart.

As friends battle it out in the conference room, Stewart declares, "You just aren't passionate enough...and this job at Martha Stewart Living requires a real passion..."
