New Jersey's Favorite Fictional Boss Might Surprise You

Tony Stark? Olivia Pope? Darth Vader? None of those were named New Jersey's favorite fictional boss. You might be surprised who was!

National Boss's Day is Sunday, October 16th. To mark the occasion, Grand Canyon University recently had a team of researchers analyze Google Trends Seach Date over a period of a year to put together a list of America's most popular fictional bosses.

Grand Canyon says the mark of a superior supervisor isn't hard to spot, writing, 'Good bosses instruct their team while great bosses get into the ring and lead by example.' Even if those examples are in the form of misguided motivational speeches like the ones given by 'The Office' head honcho Michael Scott.

While Jack McCoy of 'Law & Order', Leslie Knope of 'Parks & Rec', and 'The Godfather Saga's Michael Corleone made the list, here in New Jersey our favorite fictional boss comes from the TV series 'Suits'. Yeah, the one that used to star Prince Harry's wife Meghan Markle.
