The finale of The Apprentice, in which Trump hired Bill Rancic to oversee a construction project, was seen by more than 28 million people.
That was only the beginning, though. A Dateline NBC behind-the-scenes look at The Apprentice had 10.4 million viewers. A Trump profile on Dateline NBC was the second most-watched show on Friday night.
