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.)
