Each episode depicts a person who has an upper-management position at a major business, deciding to go undercover as an entry-level employee to discover the faults in the company. The first season consisted of nine episodes produced in 2009 and first aired on February 7, 2010, on CBS.[1] Companies that appear on the series are assured that the show will not damage their corporate brands.[2] The series was renewed for a ninth season. On April 26, 2018, CBS announced the first-ever Celebrity Edition to premiere on May 11, 2018.[3] ProductionThe first episode premiered on February 7, 2010, after Super Bowl XLIV, and featured Larry O'Donnell, President and Chief Operating Officer of Waste Management, Inc.[4] The series was a ratings success for the network, with its premiere episode receiving 38.6 million viewers and a share of 32 percent.[5] The first season was the most popular new show in any genre in the 2009–10 television season with an average audience of 17.7 million viewers.[6] Originally, the show was created in response to corporate distrust, as echoed in the introduction of the first two seasons. On March 9, 2010, CBS announced it had commissioned Undercover Boss for a second season.[7][8] On July 28, 2010, CBS announced four company executives had signed up for the second season, from NASCAR, DirecTV, Chiquita Brands International, and Great Wolf Lodge, Inc.[9] The second season opener featured the Choice Hotels CEO, Steve Joyce on September 26, 2010. The season two premiere drew 11.02 million, down 27.58 million from the previous season's premiere, and with a 9.55% share, the episode ranked number 2 against its major competition consisting of Sunday Night Football on NBC and Brothers & Sisters on ABC.[10] The second season averaged 12.158 million viewers[11] and the third season, which saw the show move from Sunday to the less popular Friday night, attracted an average of 9.347 million viewers.[12] CBS ordered a fourth season in March 2012[13] and a fifth season was confirmed in March 2013.[14] The show was renewed for a sixth season on March 13, 2014.[15] A seventh season renewal was announced on May 11, 2015.[16] The show was renewed for an eighth season on May 16, 2016.[17] The series received Emmy Awards nominations for Outstanding Reality Program in 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013, winning the category in 2012 and 2013. Reruns of Undercover Boss have been picked up by TLC and the Oprah Winfrey Network. Broadcasts on TLC began on July 25, 2011, initially Mondays at 8PM ET, later moving to Thursdays at 9PM ET. OWN has also broadcast repeats of Undercover Boss since the fall of 2011.[18] FormatEach episode features a high-positioned executive or the owner of a corporation going undercover as an entry-level employee in his or her own company. The executive changes appearance and assumes an alias and fictional back-story. The fictitious explanation for the accompanying camera crew is that the executive is being filmed as part of a documentary about entry-level workers in a particular industry. They spend approximately one week undercover, working in various areas of the company's operations, with a different job and in most cases a different location each day. The boss is exposed to a series of predicaments with amusing results and invariably spends time getting to know selected company employees, learning about their professional and personal challenges. At the end of the undercover week, the boss returns to his or her true identity and calls in the selected employees to the corporate headquarters. The boss rewards hardworking employees through campaign, promotion, material, and/or financial rewards. Other employees are given training or better working conditions.{{Citation needed|date=July 2011}} The show's producers determine what companies will be featured, what jobs the bosses will do, and which employees and which situations will be shown. The company has no control over what airs, although a promise is made the companies' reputations will not be hurt.[19] Neither the company nor its executive receive money from, or give money to, CBS or the show's producers.[20] Episodes{{Main|List of Undercover Boss (U.S. TV series) episodes}}{{:List of Undercover Boss (U.S. TV series) episodes}}ReceptionCBS's premiere of Undercover Boss on February 7, 2010, immediately following the network's coverage of Super Bowl XLIV, delivered 38.6 million viewers—the largest audience ever for a new series following the Super Bowl since the advent of people meters in 1987, the largest audience ever to watch the premiere episode of a reality series, the most watched new series premiere overall on television since Dolly on September 27, 1987 (39.47 million), and the third largest post-Super Bowl audience behind Friends Special on January 28, 1996, and The Australian Outback on January 28, 2001. The premiere episode of Undercover Boss remains both as the highest rated and most watched single episode of the 2010s on U.S. television.[21] BroadcastIn its home country (the United States) it is broadcast on CBS where the new episodes air, but reruns are also broadcast on TLC and The Oprah Winfrey Network on Thursdays. In the United Kingdom, the US version is currently (April 2019) aired on Channel 4 each weekday morning at 11.05 after its fellow US remake Kitchen Nightmares. In the Philippines, the program is aired on CNN Philippines. ReviewsUndercover Boss received mixed reviews; most held good words for the opening episode, but some criticized elements of the show's format. The New York Daily News praised the concept as "simple and brilliant" and "an hour of feel-good television for underappreciated workers."[22] Reviewers with the Chicago Sun-Times[23] and the New York Times complimented the opening episode, although the latter had reservations on Waste Management, Inc COO Lawrence O’Donnell III's plan to create a task force to address the problems he found: "Larry’s plans to reform his company and humanize the workplace seem great, until he starts to order up committees to study what he has learned. So many good intentions have gone to die in task forces, off-site meetings and mentoring programs."[24] "The show is a welcome change from reality concepts based on humiliating people," concluded the Wall Street Journal.[25] "It is emotionally stirring, with catharsis and messages of virtue rewarded and lessons learned for the betterment of all," said the Baltimore Sun.[26]The Washington Post, in a negative review, said that Undercover Boss "is a hollow catharsis for a nation already strung out on the futility of resenting those who occupy CEO suites."[27] Entertainment Weekly initially panned it, calling the first episode a "CBS-organized publicity stunt" and "a recruiting tool for a worker uprising,"[28] but in another review described the show as "irresistible."[29] The Los Angeles Times believed that it was deriving its idea from Fox's Secret Millionaire (also created by Stephen Lambert[30]) and that it was 'cooked' for TV, with the low-level workers being hand-picked, but conceded that the show is "undeniably touching".[31] Arianna Huffington noted, "In the 19th century, one of the most effective ways to convey the quiet desperation of the working class to a wide audience was via a realistic novel. In 2010, it's through reality TV. And Undercover Boss has clearly touched a nerve with viewers. Last week [February 28 - March 6, 2010], only the Olympics and American Idol scored higher in the ratings."[32]In a season-end review, the New York Times{{'}}s chief television critic, Alessandra Stanley, examined the unexpected success of the show and concluded that "it’s the humility of the workers, their genuine astonishment and thankfulness over small acts of benevolence, that is most striking. If nothing else, Undercover Boss is a reminder that in bad times, people are less eager to confront or provoke authority; mostly they wish for small favors and the big, serendipitous strokes of luck."[33] References1. ^{{cite web |url=http://thetubetv.net/undercover-boss-coming-to-ten/|title=Undercover Boss coming to Ten|publisher=What's-On-The-Tube.com.au |date=February 10, 2010 |accessdate=October 30, 2014|last = Draper|first = Danny|archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20101020101102/http://thetubetv.net/undercover-boss-coming-to-ten|archivedate = October 20, 2010|deadurl = yes}} {{Use mdy dates|date=June 2013}}2. ^{{cite web|last=Bryson |first=Emily |url=http://adage.com/article/news/7-eleven-hooters-risk-undercover-boss/142119/ |title=7-Eleven, Hooters, Others Take Risk in 'Undercover Boss' |publisher=Adage.com |date=February 15, 2010 |accessdate=April 20, 2013}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.thefutoncritic.com/news/2018/04/26/cbs-announces-the-first-season-of-undercover-boss-celebrity-edition-premiering-friday-may-11-45212/20180426cbs02/|title=CBS Announces the First Season of "Undercover Boss: Celebrity Edition," Premiering Friday, May 11|work= The Futon Critic|date=April 26, 2018|accessdate=April 26, 2018}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2009/12/20/cbs-picks-undercover-boss-for-post-super-bowl-slot/36836/ |title=CBS picks "Undercover Boss" for post-Super Bowl slot |work=tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com |date=December 20, 2009 |accessdate=October 30, 2014|last = Seidman|first = Robert}} 5. ^{{cite web |url=http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2010/02/09/tv-ratings-super-bowl-xliv-post-game-and-undercover-boss-dominate-weekly-viewing/41481/|title=TV Ratings: Super Bowl XIV post game and Undercover Boss dominate weekly viewing|publisher=tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com |date=February 9, 2010 |accessdate=October 30, 2014|last = Seidman|first = Robert}} 6. ^{{cite web|title=CBS ANNOUNCES FOUR COMPANIES PARTICIPATING IN THE SECOND SEASON OF THE EMMY AWARD-NOMINATED SERIES, "UNDERCOVER BOSS"|url=http://www.thefutoncritic.com/news/2010/07/28/cbs-announces-four-companies-participating-in-the-second-season-of-the-emmy-award-nominated-series-undercover-boss/20100728cbs02/|publisher=The Futon Critic|accessdate=September 12, 2010|author=CBS|date=July 28, 2010}} 7. ^{{cite news |url=http://livefeed.hollywoodreporter.com/2010/03/cbs-renews-undercover-boss.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100416203746/http://livefeed.hollywoodreporter.com/2010/03/cbs-renews-undercover-boss.html |dead-url=yes |archive-date=April 16, 2010 |title=CBS renews 'Undercover Boss' for second season |publisher=The Live Feed |date=March 9, 2010 |accessdate=May 21, 2010 |df=mdy-all }} 8. ^{{cite news|last=Fernandez |first=Maria-Elena |url=http://articles.latimes.com/2010/mar/22/entertainment/la-et-undercover22-2010mar22|title=The rewards of hanging with the 'Undercover Boss'|work=Los Angeles Times|date=March 22, 2010 |accessdate=August 8, 2010}} 9. ^{{cite news|last=Serjeant |first=Jill |url=https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE66R4MD20100728|title=NASCAR, DirecTV sign up for "Undercover Boss" TV show|work=Reuters |date=July 28, 2010 |accessdate=August 8, 2010}} 10. ^{{cite web |url=http://tvbythenumbers.com/2010/09/27/tv-ratings-sunday-night-football/65217|title=TV Ratings: TV Ratings: Sunday Night Football Wins;
