My Big Fat Obnoxious Boss


My Big Fat Obnoxious Boss (Courtesy Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)


My Big Fat Obnoxious Boss was a television show on the Fox Network in 2004-2005. Similar to My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiance, it was a parody of shows such as The Apprentice. Contestants had to perform several tasks in order to win a job, however the contestants didn't know that there was no role or offer. Some of the tasks endured by the contestants included selling hot soup on a hot day, creating and selling art they made out of scraps, and selling other ridiculous products.

The show was usually punctuated by the actions of the "boss" 'Mr. N. Paul Todd' (an anagram of 'Donald Trump'). The contestants learn about his multi-billionaire conglomeration, IOCOR, and in any episode, he or a member of his 'family' could usually be found doing something to unsettle the contestants or to test the limit of their blindness to truth.

When the task was completed for the episode, N. Paul Todd would refer to 'the real boss' for the decision on who was to go. The real boss gave no reason for the decision, so Todd was given free rein to make it up as he went along.

The show was cancelled in the USA due to low ratings five episodes into the run, although Fox did release the remaining 5 episodes online in late March 2005. All 10 episodes were broadcast in full in the UK on Channel 4 (and on Channel 4's sister station E4), in Australia on Channel 7 and later Fox8, in Singapore on Channel 5, in Poland on TV4 and Polsat, and in Malaysia on 8TV.

N. Paul Todd was played by actor William August, a graduate of Harvard University and an experienced California attorney.
