Ohio Mayor turns “Undercover Boss” for hit CBS show
Cincinnati Mayor Mark Mallory walked among his employees for an upcoming airing of CBS’ hit show “Undercover Boss,” according to the “Cincinnati Enquirer.”
Mallory went undercover as a city employee. He was filmed two weeks and worked with several city workers including those in sanitation, recreation, maintenance and parking enforcement.
The hit show follows executives as they secretly try out the jobs of their employees. The episode featuring Mallory will air in the spring, the newspaper reports.

This is one of the better shows on TV these days. If you watched it, you would know that they have an explanation for the TV cameras. Sometimes they say they’re filming a documentary, sometimes a reality TV show.

i really like the format of this show. the employees reveal what they really think of the company they work for and their bosse’s. a good family show.

I agree the show is a “feel good” show and it is nice for families, but I can’t help feel that most of the situations I’ve seen on the show are (like most of “reality” TV) contrived.

My brother works in the law department down in Cincinnati. Every single person knew what was going on - who wouldn’t know what their high-profile boss looks like?

Yep some UNDERCOVER BOSS he is. He is on TV every single night of the week. Unless It is in the East or West side then MAYBE they don’t know who he was. NAY, That’s just silly talk. If the city workers on Cincy do not know who Prince Mark is, then they are the fools. I am in Cincy a lot and even I know who he is.

Generally the disguises are pretty good. If “I” were an employee it would be difficult for me to recognize the ‘boss’ even if I had seen him before. This is good watching and is positive in that the ‘boss’ listens and acts.

I wonder how taxpayers in Cincinnati feel about city and/or state employees —who’s salaries/benefits/pensions WE, the Taxpayers pay for…. make Better salaries, better benefits and pensions… that we, in private sector have. How do they feel about that? Some of us don’t even have health insurance through our employer, and many of us don’t have a pension either, but we’re paying for city workers to have all that.
