Indian Host & Chinese guest in an English talk show... Asians are really kicking in!!!
Imigrant, we get the job done - hamilton musical
Asian conquered the world. 🤪
Those suits for law school are being used for stand up now 😂
Finance saved
that is how important of early investment is. time value of money
Hi I’m looking for a navy suit for war :>
🎯💯Thanks For The Laugh.🍁
He is so funny on Netflix, but I also really appreciate his honesty here.
Great interview. Ronny is an educated thoughtful witty fellow. Personally I find it insulting that movie makers hadn’t progressed with the white lead thing before Crazy Rich Asians. Insane! Let’s hope we are on a roll now.
Thanks for including an asian comedian, the Netflix show is a home run!
@C M if we has an Asian president I feel like Coronavirus would have never entered the country
"Comedy is art form not science, meaning there's no equation, you need to feel it" - Ronny Chieng ❤️
"Even this video right now, is through algorithm."
Deym, breaking the fourth wall
man he talked to us
When you watch him said, “how much worse can it get?” in 2020 you’re like, you ain’t see nothing yet bro hahahaha.
+1
that was a great interview, Ronny is so funny and speaks with confidence and some wisdom. well done gentlemen.
This is how asians do it.. have a degree and become an actor.. hahhaha.. they have a planB all the time..
👍 true most of the time.
Having a degree is difficult for me though
So true
Why do you cut and paste this comment on any video of Ronny chieng
Yes，we always do~
I like his jokes. They are the mirrors of what is going on in this country
Yeah left wing Democratic racism and this marginalization of all minorities.
Very fair interview. I enjoyed it. Ronny is "The Man"!
"If you like harold and Kumar, you might like this"😂
This guys got jokes man 👍
hahahah yes, though the teenagers who watch this probably would not have known what he (and we) were referring to!
Such a funny reference, Ronny is quick! ♥️😂♥️
@@LizzyArmogida yes that he is 😂
I am not sure the interviewer appreciated that quip.
Didn't hit me until a second later when they went with a wide shot of the two of them sitting there
"If u like harold and kumar, u might like this interveiw."
that really cracks me up!
Damn.. Born in Malaysia. Good for you, good for you.
Finally an educated moderator, he says “ United States ‘ Thank you. America is a continent.
No offense but people call the united states of America "America" because it's the only country with America in its name. No other country in North, South, or Central America uses the word America in the Name of The Country. So yes, it is in fact fair to shorten its name to America.
@@saturdaymorninggaming5628 the book "How to Hide an Empire" explains it. Your explanation is off. Using the word America for one country is already offensive.
@@jaiditnon8528 Why is it offensive?
@@jaiditnon8528 my explanation is not off at all. It's factual. There is no other country in the World that uses the name America in its name. We are not the United States. We are the United States of America. There are a number of nations that are United groups of smaller nations or "states" but there is no other Nation know as America.
@@saturdaymorninggaming5628 pulled the fact out of its butt. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love how deep Ronny’s voice is and his accent
“How much worse can it get, let’s bring back measles”
This didn’t age well
We brought back the flu packaged as covid, lol.
A very likable guy, I wish him the best.
Exciting to see him coming up, he's my Daily Show favorite!
Surprised no mention of International Student.
Lol that harold and Kumar reference was amazing. He really got the journalist.🤣
best comeback
I loved him in Crazy Rich Asians and his stand up comedy is great.
There's something too comforting about this interview. I like it.
He is smart man. His sharp joke is real and fun. Law school career make him a very good actor .
Interviewer - Do you ever cross the line in your own head?
Ronny - 100% every day i cross the line.. anything you tell me i'm trying to think of a joke about it
“Second hand stupidity” that’s so good
Ronny makes me laugh like no one else... even during sad covid times.
The ISIS joke he made on Netflix was kind of dynamite but he was spot on! "Give them time, who knows, they may save lives"...lol
His parents are like you get paid to talk ?!?
That's not too different from being a lawyer.
I like this guy, intelligent and funny
@@hilpha You remind me of coworkers who bring no value to a conversation by simply articulating the point of the previous speaker as if the rest of us did not understand the point being made by @Amilcar Schettni.
I imagine people do that so they can say they participated in the conversation with the implication being they added value to the conversation.
Apologies for even saying all this, I’m projecting the irritations I’ve been going thru at work.
I’m sure people hate that I’m bringing my own dumb crap that adds no value to the point of this whole msg.
So I’m doing what you’re doing and I’m being a silly mf’r.
Very good interview! Loved his Nexflix special!
Great interview and insight into a terrific comedian! Thank you!
Just discovered Ronny Chieng (I'm from Europe) and I immediately became a fan!
This is very insightful interview! much better than ABC, CBC, NBC, FOX, or any other cable news!
Wow... that was such a good interview... the only thing I wished he’d ask would have been about the international student series....
very good interview, like it !
His parents are fine with his career choice
Either way he puts on a suit, stands up and talks to people, they can't be sure if he's making things up, but they listen to him anyway, and he gets paid a lot of money along the way
Ladies and gentlemen, Ronnie Chang Is the" Daddy!!! " of 2020!
I have not seen an interview in such a professional and well thought of manner. This interview was not looking for a cheap joke at all. You can tell he really respects comics and wants to see the inner thoughts of a professional comic. Comics are now becoming more important then ever because they are able to swing the way people think. Dave chappelle did a bit about female abortions and i think he changed the whole game on abortion and its being viewed. "if you can kill a baby i can atless abandon it".
I hope this guy interviews more great comics because i like hearing this part of a comedy mind. Comics are like rappers. underrated for being smart. special brains.
. A fetus is not an independent living entity tho...
Those are clump of cells, btw. And none of your business.
Ronny is truely AWESOME...LOVE his comedy..!!
Christina Amanpour, I have been a fan, appreciate your international reporting I am glad you have an outlet for us to follow your program.
Wishing you best health and more success.
good interview, Ronny Chieng on point!
One day amazons algorithm will bring you things before you order them.
very intelligent comedian. I love his humor.
He was a lawyer to standup!! Wow hehe he’s damn good
Well, I’m going to watch Crazy Rich Asian to see him. Is it on Amazon Prime Video? LOL
Watch his international student show in Australia, so funny. I was hoping for 2nd season.
He's real voice is way more attractive then his ”comedy voice”
Omg, youtube pushed this video on me based on my viewing algorithm. How prescient ronnie!
Very good interview, funny actor, and comedian!!!🎉🎉
great! thanks for sharing.
is it weird that i think his prediction about no-internet zone will actually happen?
youtube give it before you want it , it call recommended video
Ronny is great. Thanks for the interview. Re Singapore and the movie, as entertaining as it is, Singapore is nothing like that. The people of Singapore are so nice and friendly and there is no snobbery. Bear in mind they have only become rich in the last 20 years. There is virtually no old money there, and the old money that does exist is not haughty. It may become that way but it isn’t now.
great interview. awesome questions, very intelligent. always a funny and extremely smart Ronnie. he need to do a movie about being a lawyer from malaysia, that comes to america, and highlight the differences between how it’s done in other countries and america. i think there’s probably tons of jokes in the circumstance. i’m a music artist, but i write movies and anime, so right away, this would be a movie is would do. especially if it’s one main case, but multiple minor cases that are all different, to create great contrast, while definitely keeping people interested, but not too much to distract from the main case, or always interjecting the main cases to keep the theme present. i wish i could make this, i just basically wrote the movie here.
Saw clips of his special and laughed my butt off 😅
Good interview great guest
"The only way to accomplish that is to be, the New England Patriots". I am so glad I watched the whole thing! Been a huge Pats fan since before the Brady era. (And hanging in there now. Also watching Buks games but I digress) That's 1 of the best Patriots jokes I've heard and like most of his jokes on the money! Wish I had found this video earlier, since, well it's like all of 2020, let's just put a fork in it. But let's keep all the humor we can find!
Imagine his parents seeing him on the Crazy Rich Asian poster in Singapore.
His socks are lovely.
Malaysia Boleh! Go Ronny.!! 😄🤘🏼
Spot on
VERY CUTE AND HANDSOME MAN 😘😘😘😘😘
Both him and Andrew Yang rock!!
Second hand stupidity is a killer and Harold and kumore has me dying
8:31 Ronny predicts the success of Parasite in America
He is a very very talented person.
Quick harold and kumar joke is frikin hilarious... Ronny Chieng has very intelligent outputs...
Ronny Chieng: "Even this video right now probably got pushed to you through an algorithm."
Hari Sreenivasan: "Right, right. They probably saw it because you already liked x and you already liked y. If you like Trevor Noah, you might like this conversation."
Ronny Chieng: "Or if you like Harold and Kumar, you might like this interview."
LMFAO
Ronny and Trevor are good together 👍👏👏👏👏
Ronny Chieng! Yang Gang! 👏🧢🍾😎
Ronny: If you like Harold and Kumar:
Me: Smash the like button.
I really like your honest comedy 👍and I want to see more please
Ronny you are the best
❤
yeah I am watching it by algorithm :p Ronny is super fun and interesting .
I recognise him from China Town in Sydney, Australia.
Beautiful
"Even this video right now is probably pushed to somebody through algorithm."
Somebody:
This guy is wicked smart 🙌❤️
He is very articulate too.
50 years from now, people would think Internet is like smoking, I feel this is on 2020. It just ruins if you don’t keep in very limits
@6:41 When Ronny realizes that the interviewer actually knows his stuff and begins to take him seriously, whereas I think @5:42 he was thinking, 'Can I take this guy seriously?'
I think this was probably the best news interview I've watched with Ronny where you can see him really respect Hari for his astuteness and applying those answers his follow-ups.
Ryan Shannon really wish this comment had replies. You made a really interesting point but I have nothing clever to add 😅
Watched Harold and Kumar last night! Algorithm-ed..
honest ! funny ! love you
You made aunty aisyah proud Ronny!!
Ronny Chieng is a funny dude gj buddy keep it strong
It’s odd to see him not raging. Hahaha. He left the rage in the dressing room before they began.
Russell Peters and Ronny Chieng sharing a stand up and roasting each other (us) would be great 🤫
I like sociology and comedy about people.
That’s good👍👍👍
youtube put this video to me,and damm how did he knew I want to see this? well,I want see this😂
"How much worse can it get?" YOU JINXED IT!!!!
ABC moved to Shanghai since 1997& loving it
love his socks
Tai Lo Ronny🔥🔥🔥🔥☝️☝️☝️
Love Ronny Cheing when he’s not talking about politics.
This is like superman being interviewed by kryptonite......
"2019 - Measles is coming back. What can be worse?" That didn't age well
Representation DOES matter. Competent and helpful ones does.
Why does his voice so deep in this clip lmao 😂
the algorithm got me
4:50 another part of asia ? from singapure to australia ?
This guy is “Joe Wong” like funny, but in a totally different way 🤔
roberto abrams 👍
