'''''Fire Me...Please''''' is an hour-long [[hidden camera]] reality series which aired on [[CBS]] in summer 2005. It was based on a [[BBC]] series called '''''The Sack Race'''''. Two contestants each reported to a new job at separate locations and figure out how to get fired as close to 3:00 p.m. as possible (the store owners are in on the gag, but the managers are not). When both contestants are fired, they report back to host [[Dave Holmes (actor)|Dave Holmes]], and whoever was fired at the right time wins $25,000.
''Fire Me...Please'' was believed to be the first reality show to employ a [[laugh track]]. The show was also believed to be the first reality series to have one half of an episode feature a repeat, and the other half feature new material. Although critics were not overwhelmed, the series did fairly well in the 18-49 year olds demographic, often placing second against the popular drama ''[[House (TV series)|House]]''. The show was announced as one of the debut selections on CBS's [http://www.cbs.com/innertube Innertube] website in May 2006, but never appeared on the website.
