Some familiar faces are coming to Undercover Boss. Deadline reports CBS will air two celebrity episodes of the TV series in May.
The long-running reality show follows members of major corporations’ upper management as they go undercover in their own company to get an idea of what it’s like to work as a lower-level employee. Season eight of the series finished in January.
Two upcoming episodes of Undercover Boss will feature musician Darius Rucker and Marcus Samuelsson as they go undercover to find new talent. The first episode, featuring Rucker, premieres on CBS on May 12th at 8 p.m. ET/PT, with Samuelsson’s episode to follow on May 19th at 8 p.m. ET/PT.

What do you think? Are you a fan of Undercover Boss? Will you watch the celebrity specials next month?
Couldn’t care less. After the first season, how stupid must the people on this show be to not figure out what’s going on, the moment a stranger and a camera crew show up? Are these people living under rocks? And the moment a show’s concept gets stale, the first thing they do is bring in so-called “celebrities.”
To be honest, I’m sick to death of reality shows. I wish all of them would be cancelled. How many amazing races, survivors, and all the rest can one person take. After the first 1 or 2 seasons, you’ve seen it all.
I will watch Darius Rucker episode. I’m not at all interested in cooking chefs, or anything related to kitchen.
