    Meanwhile in Amerikkka, people watch a show called Undercover Boss where a multimillionaire "executive" struggles to be a worker in a restaurant/factory/etc.

    Part of the show, probably predetermined by the show's producers, shows them helping an employee that is a single parent, victim of the US healthcare system, or aspiring college student, by giving them money/house/car/tuition. As if helping one person changes how they treat the rest of the workers.

    The Saturday Night Live (star wars) undercover boss with Adam Driver was the last I heard of this show, I don't know if it's still on the air. The skit was typical SNL schlock, but it at least made fun of the show's premise. MadTV would have done it better.
