(Radio Iowa) – Tonight’s (Friday) season premiere of CBS-TV’s “Undercover Boss” will feature a central Iowa woman unknowingly training — and gently correcting — her boss’ boss’ boss. Alina Winters, of Des Moines, will be seen instructing the disguised president and C-E-O of U-S Cellular, L-T Therival, on making cold sales calls to customers. Hint — he doesn’t do so well.

Ironic, since the promotional program he was pitching is one that he created. On the program, Therivel will go undercover, then reveal his identity to three associates at the West Des Moines retail store. Employees of the store are having a “watch party” tonight. The show airs at 7 PM/Central.
