Richard Hammond: NY Cab Driver & Stand-Up Comedian?! CRASH COURSE New Oct 29 BBC America

“I’m Richard Hammond and on this week’s CRASH COURSE, I’m hoping my stand-up comedy is a smash… and my cab driving isn’t!”

Don’t miss an all new episode of RICHARD HAMMOND’S CRASH COURSE *** Monday Oct 29 at 10/9c *** following the World Premiere special TOP GEAR TOP FAILS AT 9/8c, only on BBC America.

This week, “Hamster,” who hates navigating traffic so much that back in England he commutes to work via helicopter, gets behind the wheel of a New York City cab during Manhattan’s rush hour!

Then, from the taxi to the open mic – Richard attempts to take on the role of stand-up comic at top New York comedy spot, Gotham Comedy Club. There he must face what he fears most — a live audience.

He’s back in America… and out of his comfort zone!

In this season of RICHARD HAMMOND’S CRASH COURSE, HAMMOND will immerse himself in uniquely American — and often terrifying! — vocations. In each episode, he’ll tackle new challenges, with less than five days to master each job.

Can he conquer his fear of heights and jump from the top of a bridge as a Hollywood stuntman? Will he lose his grip (and suffer a venomous bite) when he takes on the role of a snake wrangler? From the true grit of a Texas cattle ranch to driving a taxi in New York City, you never know what Richard will tackle next!

Don’t miss as Richard gets to be an American Bullfighter, Barber, Hollywood Stuntman, New York Cab Driver, Pro Paddle Boarder, Cattle Rancher, Bike Messenger, Pit Crew Guy, Stand-up Comedian, Exotic Animal Keeper, “Rocket Scientist” and Snake Wrangler.
