LAILA ALI... JOEY FATONE� APOLO ANTON OHNO� WHO WILL BE CROWNED CHAMPION ON THE SEASON FINALE OF ABC'S "DANCING WITH THE STARS"?

"Episodes 410 & 410A" -- Will it be the undefeated boxer, the *NSYNC star or the Olympic gold medal-winning speed skater? Hosted by Tom Bergeron ("America's Funniest Videos") and Samantha Harris ("E! Entertainment"), "Dancing with the Stars'" fourth season ends with an exciting two-part finale beginning MONDAY, MAY 21 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET), concluding on TUESDAY, MAY 22 (9:00-11:00 p.m., ET).

Considered the strongest group of competitors to enter the finals in the show's history, Joey Fatone, Apolo Anton Ohno and Laila Ali perform three dances with their professional partners� but only one will hoist the mirror ball trophy.

On Monday, May 21, the couples will each perform two dances: a dance of the judges' choosing and the highly-anticipated freestyle performance, in which the rules of ballroom no longer apply. Viewers can vote throughout the show and for up to one hour afterwards. This will be the last opportunity for viewers to cast their votes for their favorites. Viewers may vote via phone and online at www.abc.com during the telecast and up to 12:00 p.m., ET on Tuesday, May 22.

Tuesday's two-hour finale features the couples' third and final performance, one of their favorite past routines from the season. The judges' cumulative scores for the three dances will be combined with viewers' votes from the previous night to determine the winner. Other finale highlights include a group dance featuring all eight eliminated couples from this season. The professionals will also take the stage to Bj�rk's "It's Oh So Quiet." All the excitement and frenzy will lead up to the moment we've all been waiting for � Who among the three finalists will win reign as champions of "Dancing with the Stars" and take home the coveted mirror ball trophy?
