- Nov 07, 2020
I'm the worst night owl, because I'm a self-loathing night owl who thinks, 'No, I should be getting up early.' It feels unproductive. I must get over that.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've been seesawing between not doing too much racial stuff - because I'd rather be known as the funny comedian than the funny Chinese comedian - but at the same time embracing my voice and who I am and what makes me unique, you know, which is the racial background.

American comic Bill Burr makes me laugh a lot.
- Buffet
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I once did a gig at an office Christmas party in the showroom floor of a friend's father's home appliance shop in the suburbs of Melbourne. It was to a much older crowd. Without a microphone. Or a stage. With the queue for the buffet behind me.
- Doing
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I grew up in Singapore, and I went to Australia for law school, and after law school, I started doing stand-up comedy.
- Doing
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
What happened was, in my final year of university in Australia, there was a campus comedy competition, and I felt like it was something I could do. I won that competition, and I kept doing it, and I couldn't get a job in law. So I just kept doing comedy.
- Game

- Nov 07, 2020
We promote Asian storytelling - not just Asian stories but Asian people in stories with the full spectrum of the human experience. When you say, 'Oh, it's not enough attention on Asians. It's more black and white,' that game becomes like you're playing the discrimination Olympics.
- Dedication

Japan is the only country I have visited that I want to go to again. I just feel the Japanese have such good taste and dedication to craftsmanship in everything they do. They also merge the traditional and modern aspects of their culture so well.

If you go to Japan, you have to take the train and go visit different capital cities. Just sticking to one city would be a shame, considering how easy it is to get around. Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto all have different vibes and sights.

- Day

- Nov 07, 2020

In fact, when I was a child, I had to go between countries twice a day to go to school, because I was living in Malaysia at the time but attending primary school in Singapore.
- Me

- Nov 07, 2020
When I first came to Australia, one thing that struck me was how everything closed early. Singapore is very much a 24/7 place. You can get good food any time of the day - in the middle of the night, even.
- Our

- Nov 07, 2020
I like to think we're all the sum of our experiences, so no one has my perspective.
- Feel
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Always being the outsider, you... feel comfortable everywhere, but you don't really feel at home anywhere. I definitely draw comedy from that.
- Experience
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My approach to comedy is that whenever it comes to me, I write it. With 'The Daily Show,' you have to write stuff every day, and that's a new experience for me, to not only write on someone else's schedule but a daily schedule.
- Looks

- Nov 07, 2020
When you do any job well, it looks very natural.

- Daily

- Nov 07, 2020
We're pretty down-to-earth at 'The Daily Show.' Everyone is pretty sane. We don't party crazy.
- Daily

- Nov 07, 2020
That's the thing about 'The Daily Show' - we're doing four shows a week, so we can't be too precious about what's going on.
- Comedy

- Nov 07, 2020
When you do comedy shows, you usually don't finish until about 11 P.M. Then you have this adrenaline dump, and you get hungry.

- Better
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Obviously, you're a better writer at 31 then you are at 19. Hopefully, you're also a better human being and better at describing reality.
- Comfort Zone

- Nov 07, 2020
'The Daily Show' forced me out of my comfort zone.
- Different
- |

Writing a whole series was a crash course in screenwriting, which is a very different muscle to standup comedy writing.
- Joke
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't want to ever tell a stereotype joke for the sake of it. I'm going to tell the story that I feel is true.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think the whole 'tiger mom' thing is a very common trope. People like to show Asian moms giving pressure, but they don't really show the love that comes with it.
- Culture
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
America is the NBA of culture. So to have Asian people in the biggest entertainment market in the world, in Hollywood, is cool.
