INNOVATION OR IMITATION?
Fox has quietly wrapped production on My Big Fat Obnoxious Boss, a reality series that sounds suspiciously like a rip-off of Andy Dick's Apprentice spoof The Assistant. Boss — which will air Sundays at 9 pm/ET beginning Nov. 7 — revolves around 12 wannabe moguls as they compete to win the approval of N. Paul Todd, the "eccentric, egomaniacal" founder and CEO of a faux company called Iocor. Weekly challenges will include begging for money on the street and serving as paintball targets for Mr. Todd, who will be played by actor William August. Variety, however, identifies the thesp behind the Donald Trump parody as August Caimi. Whaddaya say we split the difference and just call him Red Lobster Waiter.
