YouTube Star Bethany Mota Dons Disguise For CBS Reality Series ‘Celebrity Undercover Boss’

For her next TV appearance, Bethany Mota is donning a colorful wig and heading to the streets of Hollywood. Mota, a YouTube star known for her sense of style and her “haul” videos, is one of four notable people slated for the first season of Celebrity Undercover Boss, CBS’ spinoff of its long-running reality series Undercover Boss. Mota’s turn on the show will first air at 8 PM ET on Friday, May 25.

While the original Undercover Boss, which has aired for eight seasons on CBS, asks managers to join the ranks of their employees and work alongside them, the celebrity edition of the show merely puts well-known people into awkward situations. As a teaser shared on the Undercover Boss Twitter feed reveals, Mota’s episode will involve her eating crickets and singing on Hollywood Boulevard, all without revealing her actual identity.

After making her first YouTube video at age 13 in 2009, Mota rose up the YouTube ranks to become one of the video site’s top teenage stars. Her popularity has opened up several TV opportunities for her, including a spot in the cast of the 19th season of Dancing With The Stars (which aired in 2014) and an appearance hawking one of her apparel lines on QVC. Despite those forays, she has said in the past that her YouTube career is “more valuable” than her TV work.

The first season of Celebrity Undercover Boss consists of four episodes. Other headline-makers who are slated to appear include Deion Sanders, Idina Manzel, and Gabby Douglas.
