After four seasons, tonight could be the night leading to the moment in which a black candidate on "The Apprentice" finally hears those two coveted words -- "You’re hired!" -- from business mogul Donald Trump.

After a solid three-month "job interview" before millions of viewers, Randal Pinkett, Ph.D., a 34-year-old entrepreneur, appears to be the person Trump will bestow with a one-year contract and six-figure salary during the season finale. Pinkett is set to match wits against fellow finalist Rebecca Jarvis in the live, two-hour finale, which airs next Thursday at 9 p.m. (EST) on NBC.

Unlike American Idol, where even runners-up like Clay Aiken can establish a successful singing career, "The Apprentice" winner isn't guaranteed much, Thompson said echoing Edmond’s question on post-"Apprentice" success.
