What is his show Working for the American Dream?
Rich Hall's new show, Working for the American Dream stars on BBC Four tomorrow night at 9pm.
The comedian will explore the American dream and the dictum that came over with the very first pilgrims who set foot on Plymouth Rock - work hard and you will succeed.
He will look at how Americans strive to achieve this dream and how it's been explored and perpetuated by politicians, industrialists, artists, writers and film-makers.
