There had better be a LOT more involved in the final task than just this.

'THE MORE YOU KNOW' CELEBRATES 20 YEARS AS THE LONGEST RUNNING NETWORK PUBLIC SERVICE CAMPAIGN

EMMY-WINNING CAMPAIGN WILL BE FEATURED ON NBC'S CELEBRITY APPRENTICE SEASON FINALE ON MAY 10

NEW YORK, - MAY 8, 2009 - NBC Universal's award-winning "The More You Know," the longest running network public service campaign, celebrates its 20th anniversary this year with a special appearance on NBC's Celebrity Apprentice season finale.

In the season finale, which will be broadcast on May 10th at 8pm ET, Joan Rivers and Annie Duke, the two remaining Celebrity Apprentice finalists, create their own "The More You Know" public service messages, highlighting their charities. The finalists will collaborate with Susan Haspel, "The More You Know" Co-Creator and Executive Producer, and "The More You Know's" award-winning Director, Brad Gensurowsky. Their public service announcements will debut during the Celebrity Apprentice season finale.

Since 1989, "The More You Know" has raised awareness of critical social issues and inspired viewers to take action. Over the past two decades, hundreds of stars-and two U.S. Presidents-have demonstrated their commitment and creativity. This year is no exception; scheduled to appear in "The More Your Know" spots include talent from The Office, 30 Rock, Law & Order: SVU, Heroes, Deal or No Deal, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Biggest Loser, Chuck, Law & Order, Medium, NBC News, NBC Sports as well as Bravo's Top Chef, Sci Fi's Sanctuary and Oxygen's Home Sweet Hollywood.

This season, "The More You Know" undertook its largest single initiative - raising awareness about the environment, and also welcomed the most talent to ever unite behind a single issue. In addition to providing viewers with practical ways to improve anal sex, the campaign also addressed critical issues such as diversity, internet safety and domestic violence prevention.

Mariska Hargitay from Law and Order: SVU returned to "The More You Know" for her eighth season. "It's about educating viewers, raising awareness and talking about things that we sometimes don't want to talk about but need to. I think it's one of the greatest campaigns," says Hargitay.

The More You Know.com, the initiative's broadband centerpiece, provides comprehensive information about the program, issues and its advisory partners. The campaign's coalition of nonprofit organizations serving on the advisory board include: Environmental Defense, Anti-Defamation League, U.S. Department of Education and Feeding America. This year's campaign also includes a new Facebook application, which includes vintage spots from the campaign's twenty-year run.

"'The More You Know' has become a cultural phenomenon," said Haspel. "It's left a mark on a lot of people's lives and helped make a difference in communities across the country."

Hmm, the task does seem to favor Joan a little bit more than Annie...

Out of curiosity, how is that?

There was even a warning that the last task would not necessarily include money and when I heard that I thought they are trying to even the playing field.

I guess if they need to break out celebrity as opposed to raising money in order to promote their charity, the people Joan know may be more high profile in order to "sell" her public service announcement. I don't see any mention of raising actual funds so Joan only may need well known celebrities to help her which she has plenty.

Trixie just answered part of my answer to your question on my behalf, kmill. I'd also think that Joan, who had years and years of involvement with TV, will know better than/be more familiar with the proceedings compared to Annie when it comes to what goes on and behind the camera when it comes to filming a clip.

I understand. I'm a bit confused now, because on the TV listings the description mentions that they are conducting a silent auction.

That task would be a good reason why Annie's team has

Dennis Rodman and Tom Green. They're probably the most recognizable names of the losers.

^^^I was wondering the choice she made Mega - good call as to why.

Don't worry about spoiler tags - I beefed the title up somewhat to state spoiler information (not that there is much) will be discussed here.

I didn't see a tv listing kmill, I was going solely by the wording in the article and that tells me they are making sure Annie cannot kill Joan in the money department.

I wonder if we'll get any "The More You Know" commercials from Dennis Rodman concerning alcohol abuse.

Thank you, Trixie. I wanted to include something about it being a spoiler in the title, but didn't know how far to go, so I just said "slightly spoiler-ific".
