Be the Boss
TV Show · Reality

There are no losers in the competition series "Be the Boss." In each episode, two employees of a franchise-based company match skills to see who can win a promotion to senior management. At least that is the impression they get upon being summoned to company headquarters and put through a series of challenges by their CEO. But the candidates soon discover that the winner receives their very own franchise, a prize that can be worth more than $1 million. The runner-up is a winner also: He or she gets the promotion. "Be the Boss" is from the same creators of the Emmy-winning "Undercover Boss."
