Comedian Ronny Chieng Talks 'Crazy Rich Asians', 'The Daily Show' & 'International Student'

From a kid in Singapore to a law school student in Australia to a successful comedian, writer & actor in the U.S. & around the world…

I first saw comedian Ronny Chieng perform a few years ago at a stand up night for the writers of The Daily Show. There were obviously lots of talented, funny people in the lineup but he really stood out and had me in tears laughing. Since then he’s added more to his resume on top of being a Senior Correspondent including his own TV show, Ronny Chieng: International Student, and a role in the smash hit Crazy Rich Asians. Needless to say, I was really excited to have him on with us.

After we left the podcast room we chatted him up a bit longer & asked what he loves best between all the projects he’s working on. He said despite the success of his various endeavors he would stick with standup when it came down to it. I can attest that’s a solid choice, so if you enjoyed this episode you can catch him on tour now:
