The promise of opportunities of the American Dream has attracted numerous immigrants to America over the generations. The toils of immigrants to forge a life, profession, and identity for themselves is documented as part of the heritage of many cultural groups in their stories, songs, dance, .... and now...stand-up comedy!!! Joe Wong is from the old country, China. He moved to the USA to pursue first a career in science and then his eventual calling as a pioneering stand-up comedian with a style of comedy that is intellectual and offers a view from the perspective of an immigrant. It is quite a unique brand of comedy that has appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman, the Ellen Degeneres Show, and the Radio and Television Correspondent Association Dinner in Washington, D.C., which was attended by Vice President Joseph Biden. Joe is blazing a trail and breaking the traditional mold of perception of immigrants. You go, Joe!!! More jokes about pursuing the American Dream!!!
