“Undercover Boss” star pleased with portrayal … pretty much

February 8, 2010 StayTuned Staff

Last night’s post-Super Bowl airing of Undercover Boss pulled in over 38 million viewers, the best for that time slot since 2001. Incidentally (or not) it was another reality offering — the premiere of the second season of Survivor — that was the last to pull in those kinds of ratings. But instead of cutthroat gamesmanship, Undercover Boss offered an uplifting vision of nameless, faceless corporate bigwigs finally developing empathy for their underlings. Waste Management President and COO Larry O’Donnell posed as a regular employee in his own company, going from task to task, in order to see how the […]

February 2, 2009 Ryan Berenz

So I’m perusing the USA Today Ad Meter from the Super BowI, and like every year, I must ask: Who are these people who like the Budweiser Clydesdales?
