Who's the Boss? was a short-lived primetime game show where four celebrity panelists attempted to identify a secretary's famous boss who was mostly a famous person. (Keep in mind that this should not be confused with the popular 1984–1992 sitcom starring Tony Danza of the same name that aired on the same network as this show.)
