GET READY TO CLOCK IN FOR YOUR SHIFT ON ABC'S "WIPEOUT" BOSS & EMPLOYEE EDITION, FEATURING A BRAND NEW CREW OF COWORKERS COMPETING FOR A $50,000 BONUS!

"Boss & Employee: Third Shift" -- It's the ultimate field trip away from the office as Bosses and Employees take a crack at the Wipeout Qualifier together as partners. After going Cuckoo Crazy and taking a turn in the Wipeout Break Room, teams are narrowed down on the Miami Pound Machine and a nerd-infested IT version of Wipeout City. However, team work quickly changes to scheme work as they clock in their shifts in the Wipeout Zone, where it's every Boss and Employee for him or herself, as only one person will walk away with the prize money. Hosted by John Anderson (ESPN's "SportsCenter"), John Henson (E! Entertainment's "Talk Soup") and co-hosted by Jill Wagner (MTV's "Teen Wolf"), "Wipeout" airs THURSDAY, JULY 4 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network. (Rebroadcast. OAD: 5/30/13)

"Wipeout" has successfully taped over 100 episodes, a feat we'll be celebrating all season long. In addition, the series recently won the 2013 Nickelodeon Kids Choice Award for Favorite Reality Show for the second year in a row.

Each week, 24 energetic new contestants of all ages, shapes and sizes go head to head through four rounds of demanding but hilarious obstacle courses to win the title of Wipeout Champion and the $50,000 grand prize. In the end, only one contestant will be victorious. Everyone else will Wipeout!
