NEW YORK – The new CBS reality series “Undercover Boss” will make its debut in one of the most coveted time slots on television — right after the Super Bowl.

The series follows corporate executives who slip anonymously into low-rung jobs in their companies. The first episode features the head of Waste Management as he cleans portable toilets and sifts through waste at a landfill.

The show will air on Sundays, replacing the drama “Three Rivers.”
