Best in the Business

Best in the Business (2011)

EndedReality show

Ben Bailey hosts Best in the Business -- the ultimate battle of job-skill supremacy that celebrates the crème de la crème of the American workforce. These two half-hour episodes will showcase average American jobs: Blacksmith vs. blacksmith. Excavator operator vs. excavator operator. Grocery bagger vs. grocery bagger -- turning the spotlight on the not-so-average people who take their profession to the next level. Blacksmiths who can create a usable corkscrew in mere seconds. Oyster shuckers who shuck so fast the cameras barely catch it. Excavator operators who are so precise they can carry an egg on a spoon over mounds of dirt. Many are good. Only one is the best.
