Arsenio Hall and Clay Aiken faced off on the live “Celebrity Apprentice” finale on Sunday.
But, only one of them was told “You’re hired!”
In their final challenge, the two contestants were asked to put together a celebrity charity event, with the help of their former competitors.
Last week, viewers saw both Hall and Aiken struggling to not only work efficiently with their former rivals, but also to raise the most money.

Ultimately, they each managed to pull off great variety shows – but then had to face Donald Trump in the boardroom.
Hall and Aiken both made the case for why they deserved to be the next “Celebrity Apprentice,” and the fired contestants weighed in as well.
It was revealed Aiken raised $301,500 for the National Inclusion Project, nearly double the $167,100 Hall raked in for the Magic Johnson Foundation.
But Trump insisted his final decision would be based on not just their financial success, but also the production of their event and the creativity of the PSAs they made in support of their charities.
In the end, Trump – who said he had “never been so torn” before – decided to hire Hall!
What do you think of the new “Celebrity Apprentice” winner?
