Just one of the gang

"Undercover Boss" returns for Season 8 with Build-a-Bear Workshop CEO Sharon Price John taking on the roles of a cherry picker operator and an assistant manager. That's followed by CEO Greg Scott of New York & Co. slipping into the front lines of his women's retail business.

Emmy winner Tony Hale ("Veep") hosts.
