I find this show to be very entertaining and having worked for over 35 years in the retail marketplace from positions of associate to manager, it relates real-life situatuions I feel are helpful for those who are in these types of fields.

Inline Feedbacks. September 25, am. I love the show I watch it all the time I am glad it is being renewed. I'm going to put you in touch with the best [breast augmentation surgeon] in town and we'll make this happen! Even for reality TV, that's sleazy with an extra side of sleaze. While it's hard not to tear up at the end of each episode when the boss starts doling out cash, vacations, and college scholarships, that's usually where the admiration—or even any further thoughts about that CEO—usually end for most viewers.
According to Tulsa World , Beck would make it a point to "share his admiration for Yellen" with every Belfor worker who came into the store. After Belfor employees passed the word on to Yellen, he and Beck became "pen pals" for years, with Yellen even sending Beck a gift card and a letter for Christmas one year. Yellen gave Beck an autographed book and "a backpack full of goodies," and promised to keep their correspondence going.
He even spent the day working alongside Beck, whose manager described him as "an exceptional employee," and "a joy to work with. According to Lambert's book, Undercover Boss: Inside the TV Phenomenon That Is Changing Bosses and Employees Everywhere , the kernel of the concept for the show came from British Airways head honcho Willie Walsh's response to a reporter's question about whether he'd suffered traveling inconveniences using the very airline he runs.
He responded, "I can't because people in BA recognize me. That simple truth led Lambert, who had previous success creating the show Wife Swap , to pitch the idea to Channel 4 and they agreed to "a two-episode cycle," according to executive producer Eli Holzman, who spoke with The Futon Critic. Lambert and Holzman were then able to bring the show to CBS and make it the reality TV juggernaut it is today, with one interesting difference: in the British version, after the emotional one-on-ones, the boss never reveals the ruse in front of the entire company via a celebratory screening of clips from the episode.
Holzman says he thought Americans would want a "big celebration," and the companies involved have confirmed that to be true. The celebrations have supposedly been a big morale booster.. Another interesting tidbit from Lambert's book : the first episode of Undercover Boss was lucky enough to follow the Super Bowl that year, giving it the absolute best possible lead-in.
And while many shows have failed in the spot , Undercover Boss thrived, retaining an astounding Even after it moved to its regular 9PM Sunday night slot, it still averaged 17 million viewers per episode, making it what Lambert claimed was "the most popular new show of the television season.
Admiral Thomas, who was in his 50s at the time of the filming, cleaned rust off the deck using a "needle gun," and participated in training exercising for the LCAC or Landing Craft, Air Cushion. There were no tears, hugs, or monetary awards at the end of his day, but his his fellow seamen did attempt to act surprised that they'd been working alongside a superior officer all day.
Though many who watched contended the jig was up before it even began. According to commenters on the Surface Force Atlantic Facebook page, there's no way anyone would have believed a man of Admiral Thomas' age would have been an E Not only that, but according to some, it was obvious that most of the supposed TV crew were actually part of the admiral's security detail, which would have sent up another huge red flag.
Maybe next time he should try a nose ring or some fake tattoos. That's worked for the real show. But hey, it was a good effort, and an admirable gesture on behalf of a military superior to try to get an idea of what his crew goes through every day.
According to The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette , Pittsburgh mayor Bill Peduto found himself at the center of a controversy that he categorized as "sublime ridiculousness" when County Controller Chelsa Wagner refused to release taxpayer funds to a tourist organization that offered to donate some of the prize money awarded to the city workers featured on the show. This prompted Wagner to withhold all taxpayer funds from VisitPittsburgh, sparking a mini controversy that died down a week later when VisitPittsburgh clarified that their donations came from their general fund, which is "a mix of public and private dollars.
Peduto had this to say on the matter: "Some people want to use this as an opportunity as a battering ram. I think it's the first time that any politician has ever been accused for lining someone else's pockets. Most companies enjoy a healthy shot of positive PR from being on Undercover Boss , but almost exactly one year after house-flipper-turned-seminar-guru Armando Montelongo's episode aired, over former students of his seminars filed a class action lawsuit against him. Their suit alleges that his seminar course, which purports to instruct people on how to get paid to flip houses, "is a lie, and their widespread promotion of that lie over a course of years violates the federal Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act "RICO".
Montelongo has refuted the allegations, telling InTouch Weekly that the participants in the lawsuit are people who "decided that continuous hard work is not for them. Bosses pick their aliases. Workplace shadowing isn't entirely staged. Featured employees are carefully selected. Actual change does happen within companies. Not every boss is thrilled with the experience. There are dozens of international spinoffs. A boss offered to reward an employee with breast implants.
One CEO used his show alias to surprise a diehard fan. Stephen Lambert had the idea for the show based on a real-life corporate PR disaster. The Super Bowl gave the show a huge head start.
