On November 7th, Fox bows a sequel to its Obnoxious Fiance comedy reality hoax franchise as My Big Fat Obnoxious Boss takes the Sunday night 9 p.m. slot. The spoof is somewhat Apprentice-like, but the aspiring CEOs vie for the nod of a fictional biz despot and the cast of associates are actors. The punked execs visit the boardroom when they fail non-MBA-related tasks, such as begging, but the prize – $250,000 – is real. Fox is promoting the show during MLB playoffs.
Obnoxious Boss replaces The Partner, which is bumped to mid-season.
