“Undercover Boss” typically features executives going “undercover” to learn about the day-to-day employees of their companies.
This May, CBS will feature a different twist on the concept.
The network confirms that it will air special “Celebrity Undercover Boss” episodes on May 12 and May 19.
The May 12 episode will find Darius Rucker going undercover to discover the next great musical acts.
On May 19, a disguised Marcus Samuelsson will meet and mentor promising culinary talent.
