Reporter: And she is more than qualified for the job.
Hi, I'm Terry. Here for the interview. Nice to meet you. You're Terry? Yes.
Reporter: Problem is, she isn't a he.
You do have a great resume, but I gotta have a man.
Reporter: It's gender discrimination and she doesn't want to take it
Are you serious? Yeah.
Reporter: The drama is brewing along with the coffee at Brownstones a Amityville, New York.
I'm Christine Rose Garofalo who's looking for a job. I'm Jeremy Holt and I'm playing the chauvinist.
Reporter: We're gonna need a shark to deal with this guy. Barbara! Yeah. You ready to kick off the new season of What Would You Do? You betcha. The shark is here. Let's go.

This is a fun job you have.
Reporter: Let's let the fun begin.
Excuse me Mr. Holmes? Hi, I'm Terry. I'm here for the interview. Hi, nice to meet you.
Reporter: This woman cookie is sitting right next to our actors but don't let that name fool you.
I don't need any secretaries or assistants. I'mlooking you know for a sales manager.
Reporter: Cookie and her daughter-in-law-to-be are shocked.
I see you got a ring there. How serious is your relationship? I'm engaged. Right. I'm interviewing for a position, not to date you. You're not married though, okay. So that will make a difference in me getting hired? No, I'm not gonna hire you. I mean I can't but if you wanna have a few drinks, that'd be great. Eat them alive this is good.
Reporter: Cookie's eyes are rolling as our business man steps outside for a second.
I feel bad for you. What a jerk. He wanted to date you...but I couldn't...I wasn't eavedropping, but he's an idiot this guy. What am I supposed to say to that? That's illegal... Tell him to scratch his ass and get up and leave. I really need the job. He's not going to hire you sweetheart. You're not a man. He's a sexist pig. That's why the conditions of this country are the way they are. Because men run it and women don't. I would've kicked him in the nuts, so he can't use them anymore. That's what I would have done.
Reporter: Before she can do that we tell our actress to leave.
You're right would you please tell him I left? Absolutely. Oh thank you. He's a jerk and he'll get his. She's a pretty girl. I know, I feel bad for her.
Reporter: And now Jeremy returns to face Cookie.
Where'd she go? She had a great resume. Then you should have hired her. Well, I'd go out with her... I don't. Oh yeah, of course you'll go out with her. Her qualifications don't mean a damn thing. You'll just take her out and jump in bed with her. And that will be the end of the whole thing. Yeah, I don't think that's funny. You're a despicable person! Hey I'm sorry you feel that way. Can I buy your breakfast? Absolutely not. I don't need any man to buy my breakfast. Thank you!
Reporter: How are you ma'am. This is Jeremy. He's an actor. He's a nice guy. Hi sweetheart. No sweetheart. Men they're idiots. Every one of them. except for my son. I was sitting behind the camera cheering for you. I was like, you go girl.
Reporter: Cookie your advice to men who treat women that way...
They should be tarred and feathered.
Reporter: We roll again and now these women don't know they're sitting right next to a male chauvinist.
That's so funny I was sort of expecting a man.
Reporter: The women can sense right away that this interview is not off to a great start.
I see you're engaged. Yes. You're gonna be planning a wedding. Then then after that how long is it going to be before you're pregnant?
Reporter: The women are stunned. We tell our business man to take a call.
Will you pardon me for a second. Yeah, hello? Yeah, no. It's a girl. It's a little girl.
Reporter: And the second he's gone...
Is everything ok? We didn't, like, want to be nosey or anything? That's #%* up! I was gonna start crying too. He said you're weak for the position because you're a woman. I cannot believe...Even though I'm so qualified what should I do? Walk out. Punch him in the face. Walk out.
Reporter: The women persuade our actress.
Okay, you know what? You guys are right. You guys are right. It's ridiculous. When he comes back can you tell them that I left. Sure. Please. Tell him where to go for me.
Reporter: They'll get their chance because our business man is back.
Did you see a woman here? Yeah, she left. Where'd she go?
Reporter: The women are worked up.
I Think she would be qualified. Why wouldn't she be qualified? Well, you know...she's a girl. What is that supposed to mean? I'm a girl, so I can't work? Well, I'm in auto parts. Well, I would have probably punched you in the face then. Really? She's not interested.
Reporter: But maybe the women are interested in knowing it's What Would You Do. You know Barbara Corcoran from Shark Tank?
This is crazy. Are we gonna be on tv? Can I slap him on the face, is that ok? Yeah, can I? Let's do this again.
Reporter: We will do it again, one last time.
I thought you had an opening for a sales position
Reporter: This couple has seen the interview go from bad to worse.
It's a sales man not a sales woman. Can you excuse me for a moment? Yeah. I would report him to someone. This is 2012. What nerve! He doesn't deserve someone like you.
Reporter: What our businessman deserves is well, something probably best said by Cookie.
I would've kicked him in the nuts, so he can't use them anymore.
Reporter: We know just the person for the job. What will our real-life couple do when the next interviewee arrives.
It's not a position for you. I'm sorry. It's just not.
Reporter: Here we go.
I have over seven years experience. Yeah. Running a large sales organization. I had men report to me. You're looking for a sales manager. Am I right. Yes.
Reporter: The couple is glued to this shark feeding.
You're the most insecure man I've ever met and you want to know something? I don't even want you to have my resume. Take that. Eat it.
Reporter: She has only one thing left to say.
You know what? I'm Barbara Corcoran. I'm a very wealthy woman. I gonna buy that business you work for and I'm gonna fire you on Monday. You're not Barbara Corcoran. I'm Barbara Corcoran and I'll buy your business. Oh yes I am. Yeah there's somebody else here you should meet...jerk.
Reporter: All right guys. Hi, I'm John Quinones and this is part of What Would You Do. This is Barbara Corcoran. I've seen her on tv. I know who she is. In the end our business man is no match for the biggest shark in the water proving that it's eat or be eaten or maybe just eat it.
