Video of the Day: Even Undercover, Steve Jobs is Great Boss

Video of the Day: Even Undercover, Steve Jobs is Great Boss

Saturday Night Live spoofed cubicle-based reality show Undercover Boss — where the corner office guy or gal climbs back down the career ladder to go incognito as a menial employee — with Undercover Celebrity Boss.

Steve Jobs sticks a “mainentance” badge on his signature black turtleneck and tries to sell an unimpressed secretary on the iTrash and the iTrash Shuffle.

Jobs, likable if clueless in a Michael Scott sorta way, gets a much kinder send up — some say too kind — than the other celebs, most of whom (Sir Richard Branson, the Olsen twins) are barely undercover before they say stuff like: “Because I’m Martha f*ing Stewart. ”

(It’s a Hulu video, which means if you’re outside the U.S. to you’ll need to install something like Hotspot shield to view it. It’s a drag. We know.)

    “wow, Hulu is a terrible way to watch video.”

    Ditto. Tis ridiculous. Im surprised this isn’t on YouTube yet because id really like to see it, but theres no way im jumping through all of Hulu’s loops to get to it.
