    There are two key things about Henry Cho:
    1) he works clean
    2) he puts his family first

    Henry's humor, to me, is a lot like Jeff Foxworthy's humor. They are grounded in faith based humor. Thank you. Thank God for people like you.

    Refuses to sacrifice his family for his career...this is what NOT selling out looks like. Sometimes that fame and fortune is NOT the right path.

    Henry I am raised In Knoxville Tennessee. I had to move to Michigan to make a living with General Motors. After watching this, you were raised really well, so that honor belongs to the ones that raised you. And that’s a big Honor.

    When I first saw him I was blown away by his humor and now really respect the way he plans the direction he wants his career to go. The fact that he turns down roles that stereo type his race and the places he was brought up shows how much he respects his roots and mostly the love he has for his family. And wont take his family on the moves that would upset his family. Family first, that's right Henry.

    it's admirable that cho turned down roles that were derogatory towards asians and the south. sometimes, i see asians taking on stereotypical roles, and i wonder what their process of thinking was in terms of accepting them.

      There thinking about money of course.

    • @areitu
      @areitu 7 років тому +15

      It's very hard to break into entertainment, especially as a minority. When trying to get into acting and the entertainment industry, getting roles (even if it's demeaning) is often seen as an opportunity to network, and something that leads to moving one's career forward.
      Henry saying "No" to these things is such a powerful statement: He is not giving up his family life or integrity for the possibility of maybe making more money in the future.

      What do you think about people who are Arab or "look Arab" or are ethnically from a neighboring country to an Arab country. Their first roles are always terrorists. How derogatory can Hollywood get...

    What shines through everything Henry does is INTEGRITY. Regardless of what makes anyone else happy, if it causes any disruption of his family's life or otherwise intrudes on the stability his kids enjoy, he's a solid NO. That may have cost him some major gigs and starpower, but he plays the long game.
    Henry is in his 60's while his kids are just plugging into life. He could play "The Game" at the cost of losing his kids to the Godless culture permeating through the world. OR, he sticks to his values and the 3 kids/adults he raised learn the importance of consistency and presence in their own kids' upbringing.
    Its a long game for which he chose correctly. Henry is a God fearing, consistent, solid Man whose kids love and respect him and will go out into the world armed with the values he and his wife lived and projected through love. And that right there, friends, is what true love looks like.

    How I love him! For years the only videos I could find on UA-cam were clips from WHAT’S THAT CLICKIN’ NOISE?
    Very funny, but I wanted more. Suddenly the attraction of Henry became apparent to people that hadn’t seen him before.
    He’s one of the funniest comedians ever, he’s clean, and he’s proud of his faith.

    I didn't know this guy existed until a few days ago when I stumbled upon one of his videos. I gave up on network TV long ago. I like programming I can watch with my entire family without fear of inappropriate material, and it seems that the networks are aiming for more and more inappropriate material. I'm glad I finally found him. He's hilarious!
    BTW, how blessed is his wife to have a man who maps out their lives so carefully. I've lived in L.A., and he did the right thing getting his kids out of the schools out there. I went back for a visit a couple of years ago and was shocked and heartbroken to see the changes. Very, very sad to see what's happened to the land of milk and honey.

    @danaschoen432 5 років тому

    Sometimes one acts in the interest of ones family over the long run. Think military members. They and their families endure long separations for the greater good. Now it must be said that those separations are not taken on for the sake of a little more money or a project on a resume, but that isn't my point. My point is that to make a career decision based solely on the fact that one may need to "be out of town" for a short time, may not be as cut and dried as he makes it seem.

  • @tedshort6260
    @tedshort6260 Рік тому +1

    He is great, but not because of comedy,( and he is a great comedian). Its because of his faith and the fact that he is grounded in The Lord. As long as he follows his faith he can't go wrong.

    We are non denominational . We love Henry and other clean comedians. Anyone can use swear words and private part words in their comedy but it's a cheap way to get a laugh and frankly I consider it toilet humor. It doesn't take any skill to do that kind of comedy. Whereas Henry and others, have to really think about what they are saying and its takes skill. So glad to have Henry in our world.
