One of my daughter's friends is a contestant on this show. It sounds like its going to be pretty funny.

What's her name?

CBS, Tuesday, June 7 at 9 pm EST

Two people start new jobs on the same day -- with the unusual goal of getting fired by 3 pm. The contestants try their best to drive their unsuspecting coworkers and bosses crazy while hidden cameras capture it all. The contestant who gets fired closest to the 3:00 pm deadline, but does not go past it, is declared the winner.

The Prize:
$25,000.

There are only four one hour episodes planned for this summer reality show.

I could win that "game" in less than 2 hours...lol Seriously, there have gotta be some limits as to what you can do, right? I mean, all I'd have to do is steal and I'd be fired, and I've worked there 4+ years. Other ways - show up drunk (or stoned); refuse to do the work; call the boss (insert cuss word/phrase).
Anyone know anything more about this show?

Her name is Merrill. I could win that game in no time Bluejaxrock! I'm not sure but I think they can't be fired too soon in the day or they would lose. (heck, I'm not sure of the rules but I am gonna watch)

This looks like a fun show. You probably can't do anything illegal like vadalism or assault, lol. Maybe you could be really stinky and loud? Or have shots with your lunch at the front desk? Ah, the mind boggles...

I am SO looking forward to this. Sure, it's easy to get fired (umm...not that *I* would know *personally* of course...yeah...so...anyway...)

But it takes a true player to get fired on a deadline! This show should be quite interesting. Cruel. Supremely watchable. <LOL>

Can't wait!

What were the three rules of the contest? Can't break the law. Can't ask to be fired. And...?

and they also have to be the closest to 3:00pm. So you don't want to get fired right away.

what else was Dave Holmes on? He looks so familiar...

I loved the guy at the coffee shop. He seemed like he'd be fun to work with.

Cute Candid Camera type show but wtf was up with the canned laugh track. There isn't a studio audience, right? They gotta cut that laugh track out!

Dave Holmes was a VJ on MTV for several years.


I thought the coffee guy was hysterical. I loved it when he "changed" a co worker's name to Pistol.

It really is a silly show but the co-workers reactions made it fun to watch.

I watched it. Kinda cute, but I am not sure there is enough there to sustain this show. I predict an early cancellation.

I loved this show! It was hysterical. The way the other employees reacted was the best. I am sad it is only on for four shows. The people really didn't go over the top, just annoying and unbelievable things: kneeling on the floor because her feet were tired, trying to knock down pyramids of paper cups, and deciding she was tired of tying ribbons and just decided to walk around.

I can't wait until next week!

I thought it was great! The year before I work we had a new employee I was training for a day. She could have been a cross between the last two women and if this show had been around then, I'd have been positive she was a contestant.

The other employees and bosses were so funny with the way they reacted. Several of them looked like they were ready to just rip their hair out, especially when the contestant started doing the really oddball stuff.
