Charles Yu - “Interior Chinatown” | The Daily Show

[@amymarch8221]

Ronnie... you are becoming one of my favorite interviews of all times....and I'm hella old! keep it up!

[@arnoldageeb]

Old here too,and I agree

[@StarrTile]

You're not old if you say "Hella"

[@marcydrake9159]

@@StarrTile I’m hella old!! 😁

[@notoriouslybratty]

I love me a Ronnie interview - he remembers it is a comedy network interview

[@Tamara-g4h]

Dinosaur here and I totally agree.

[@wolffpackracing]

I love how humble and modest this guy is, I watched the show and thought it was amazing. And Ronny, keep it coming mate.

[@anai7458]

I just finished watching Int. Chinatown and it was one of the best new shows I have seen in a long time. I loved the layers of story telling and also the immigrant story that still exists today. The racism, and stereo typing and misunderstanding of other people's culture and trying to make everyone one race is still happening.

[@GreenFuMan]

My comment will get lost in the feed but this guy has been killing it lately and I'm so excited to see it

[@allyhartwell2037]

I saw it 💙

[@destinationsunnyside250]

I saw it too - and doing my part to help keep your insightful comment towards the top of the feed.

[@les0101s]

Agree, he's great!

[@SBSlade]

Top comment. And yup he's a funny guy. Very likable as well

[@VictorianDad]

Who? Yu?

[@hayesdabney]

I enjoy seeing Ronny talk with other Asians. I feel like I am listening to special conversations.

[@leaflaurel]

I feel like they get invited because Ronny gets to bring them on. One thing I will say that I've really enjoyed about the rotating table is that we're getting a really broad set of guests on because each host has different interests, and that's been really cool.

[@carina9295]

except when he roasted Hassan 2 HIS FACE YOLL

[@kath2142]

I found Charles Yu when I read his article "What it's like to never ever see yourself on TV" and then read Interior Chinatown. Loved the book, and Ronny was hilarious in the TV series! 😂

[@i9lts]

'It's a creative collaboration. But it was me' Ronny Chieng, 2024

[@babaikazoboh4344]

🤣🤣🤣

[@Dan-Simms]

Interior Chinatown was great, so fun and unique. Awesome concept, I loved how meta it was. And you were great in it Ronnie!

[@JoellePretty]

Truly an original!

[@ReviewBoard-uy5nv]

Interior Chinatown was amazing . So glad we get to know who the showrunner was

[@g1xrider13]

More people need to watch this series. For mcu fans who loved agents of shield and Chloe bennet they’ll love seeing her again and for wandavision and Deadpool fans who love 4th wall breaking meta-commentary they’ll love this.

[@withershin]

Spoilers - Int. Chinatown is excellent Sci-Fi. Ronny Chieng's character spoke to me. This interview is a treat for a nerd like me. Season 2 now please

[@lawbinson]

Is there more of the book to cover?

[@ashleyfurrow4414]

Ronny in sci-fi!? Yes please!

[@Maria-EU]

This was probably the best interview from Ronny so far; it was fun, intellectual, serious and intimate all at the same time!

[@barabasmorpheus87]

Yus book THIRD CLASS SUPERHERO has lived rent free in my soul for years. He is a first class hero.

[@PanaDroid]

My niece get a lot of inspiration from this cast. She always get B for many subjects in school. Now at least she could stand firm on defensive ground & even do some counterattack sometimes :D

[@Cmdr1962]

Loving the show! My beautiful wife is Chinese, and it's great to watch shows like this with our son.

[@tarain417land]

I ❤ Willis Wu! I just finished episode 3, and I had to come back to say this is the best show I have watched this year. It's smart, hilarious, and thoughtful. I hope Hulu keeps Interior Chinatown running.

[@msqunhua]

Jimmy and Ronny made a great team! Hope to see more of them together! I didn't totally understand Interior Chinatown but it was still fun and interesting.

[@jobejeffers9177]

Great interview. I really like Ronny Chieng!! I too was introduced in 2020 during the pandemic.

[@IsaDesOsiers]

I loved "Interior Chinatown", or anything with Ronny Cheng.

[@whitefang2510]

I am so inspired by you two that I’ve decided to go to law school.

[@GKEK]

Ronnie, ftw. Also, Yu's words really resonated with me as an Asian... "holding two ideas in your head... it can be hard being invisible... marginalized... and I'm not a victim at the same time."

[@leilaniaileenlove]

Them talking about nontraditional writing/story structure reminded me of Bram Stoker's original Dracula. I remember it being from many different characters' perspectives and in various formats, such as diary/journal entries. ❤

[@jackson857]

I've watched the first 6 episodes and am loving the show. Episode 6 is my favourite so far.

[@JoellePretty]

This has been one of the most original concepts I've seen in a while, and I LOVE it

[@ethor7676]

I LOVE THIS SHOW!! Ronnie Chieng, you are amazing in it! Jimmy O'Yang is awesome too, I love you guys together

[@KootFloris]

I show the show and loved it! It was crazy, deep, about humans and riddles. Lots of mystery and social issues.

[@olorin4317]

I’m only up to Ronnie’s first attempt at serving and it made me snort laugh. Thank you.

[@slipperysteev]

Absolutely LOVED Interior Chinatown! Especially Ronnie as the main supporting actor!

[@finnhaverkamp]

Ronnie's interviews are the only ones I'll watch of any living person

[@rjmanch]

Ronny's interview with Connie Chung was brilliant.

[@Esoteric312]

I love to see the creator speaking on behalf of his craft. The Reluctant Fundamentalist by Mohsin Hamid was also written in a unique narrative structure and it is one of my favorite reads. I am excited to read Charles Yu’s original work and will definitely do so before watching the show.

[@KarenNISHNishimura]

Yay Charles! Ronnie, you are a master. Glad you are on the Daily Show, but I can see you with your own show.

[@klasi58]

I thought no-one could come after Trevor Noah and make me love him so much but I was wrong. Ronnie is a true legend. ❤️❤️❤️

[@819phoenix]

Charles is so humble.

[@emydonavan6254]

Go Bears! Man, I didn’t expect that connection, but it all clicked.

[@C2C.]

So much to cover...wish this interview were longer!

[@tennyopallas]

Just finished Interior Chinatown. loved it. But was also a bit confused by the ending so need to sit with it a while.

[@clumsiii]

I got the red Ronny socks too! Ronny's tour set is amazing and the boomer roasting thank you

[@hurricane227]

Way to bring it. That’s what All America is about. The World together!

[@elianadosreis3025]

Love Rony

[@shawnholbrook7278]

I'm so pleased to learn that there is a *book*! thankyou!

[@ademeyer]

Ronnie was the best thing about this series.

[@penelopepitstock]

So it sounds like … Season 2 is coming?! 😃😃 🎉👏👏👏

[@malinolsson5921]

Biology at BERKLEY, according to my biology friends that is the best! So a b student there is basically an honors student anywhere else. Jeesz talk about being modest 😅

[@mtinsley8513]

Ronny is dominating the scene rn 🔥

[@rachel_rexxx]

I thoroughly enjoy the first season!

[@christenw.1726]

Extremely inspiring as a writer. Instead of having the goal to perfect the typical story development, instead focus on NPC

[@LinhLe-rs7fr]

Show is great! 9/10

[@allenacarpenter8322]

Int. Chinatown is an awesome series! I loved it!

[@1dandelioneater]

I am so excited about "Interior Chinatown", can't wait to binge it.

[@XEntertainment10]

That show was amazing

[@mayaraghavan2007]

Ronny is the best 🎉🎉🥊

[@CallTheSheriff]

Chrles Wu's first book, "How to Live Safely in a Science Fiction Universe" was very worth mentioning but perhaps that is the project he is working on. I hope so.

[@GoodTaste_32]

This show was a joy to watch. ❤ed it!!! Funny with a capital 'F'

[@ScottWilbour-bk9mj]

When Ronnie chang came out he bugged me . But he actually really awesome ❤

[@HazelwithaZ]

It's Fatty!! Loving the show so far, I'm on episode 3!

[@zoemalcolm2897]

It gets so much better! Excited for you 😊

[@MamboKing215]

These two gentlemen's self-proclaimed Asian stereotypes are polar opposites of each other.

[@linateacup]

yes, opposite demeanours, but both lawyers who write creatively for work…

[@artgirltexas]

I can’t wait to read the book 😄

[@andre-wx5kh]

When he was talking about needing advice with his expertise, I thought he was gonna say (how do I get my parents to love me like yours must) 😂😂

[@linateacup]

lol but they are both disappointments because not doctor 😝

[@dusty4047]

This description makes me remember a short lived show I loved " Life on Mars" 2008 with Jason O'Mara ( U.S. Version) I have always seen the Asian population as for me stereotypically intelligent. ( Hope that comes off not sounding to weird?)😊

[@brookeweatherly]

Not TOO Wierd!

[@BLW888]

National Book Award winning author! Also worth reading: How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe

[@aprilkepler1702]

Great interview/raise pitch.

[@BlondPastelQueen]

Great interview on a great show about a great show! 🙌❤️ I love Ronny and I will watch anything he is in! 🫶🫶🫶

[@analisaroche]

Loved the book!

[@zerohours.]

Interior Chinatown was refreshingly self-aware about Asian stereotypes and the little dig at David Chang from Momofuku who tried to copyright Chilli Crisp. I thought this show really made fun of that a lot with their table sauce

[@robinwesterlund4093]

It’s funny to see ronnie trying to balance himself between caring-ronnie who wants to pay tribute to a seemingly shy modest guy he think deserves some spotlight, whilst not totally dropping the ‘I’m ronnie and I don’t give a fck’. I like when people who deserve recognition gets it like this. Some people don’t promote themselves to be recognised, they get recognised because others think they deserve it.

[@pippo_filippo]

what scene/clip from Interior Chinatown are they talking about 2:37 ? Does anyone know?

[@glamyumable]

You both are funny. 😂

[@fuzzyspackage]

Big love

[@qb1120]

Didn't make it as a doctor then a lawyer... Man, he disappointed his parents twice!

[@CrabbyO]

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern.😊❤🤓

[@nogmo100]

Pretty fun show

[@carlamcbride2457]

Love the questions at the end lol

[@gidikalchhauser]

Ronnie's interviews are the only ones on TDS that I watch.

[@flyinpug3791]

Charles looks amazing for 48!

[@JH-yv2ne]

Ronnie is a great host!

[@KP-xi4bj]

Is there a season 2 of Interior Chinatown? Pretty sure I'm not the only person wondering this.

[@markspence3750]

I can see why people who write novels are strict on who writes screenplays....

[@eviyuliati3658]

Great interview Ronny. However, I'm curious. Does that book consist of blank pages???

[@lemonsandants]

Fine... I'll watch it. =D

[@jnkhan82]

The book was blank?

[@KingOfMadCows]

I'm pretty sure a "B" is an Asian "F."

[@jaredleemease]

Any advice on how to pay students loans for that many degrees? 😁

[@AziziOthmanMY]

It's either medical school or law. Damm he was spot on

[@FenrirIII]

The pitch sounds like Ryan Reynold's movie "Free Guy"

[@GenghisWanghis]

I think that's why he said he hates the elevator pitch, because it can make the show sound like that weaker movie

[@qxin1130]

Show was okay, some scenes and character building dragged on for a bit too long, characters were a bit quirky and didn’t seem to interact well in the earlier episodes but seem to eventually have found their chemistry on set later on. The writer is metaphorically telling the typical story of Chinese Americans being the voiceless minority, always there but hardly ever to be considered important enough to be of any value in society and the show puts our characters in a alternate universe to help dispel that belief so that we may see if not in reality then at least on screen that we can change our POV in fighting for who we want to be.

[@KP-zd3hc]

Basically Into the Spiderverse (1 and 2), Pleasantville and Truman clumped together, but with Asian faces.

[@DoreenJaegersoong-f6t]

Charles Yu is far too modest. He must have done excellently in law school to have been hired by Sullivan & Cromwell, one of Wall Street’s most blue chip law firms.

[@clayclifton3895]

❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@247_corn_master]

asian B means A, YES BROTHA!!!! lol

[@stevebremhorst7126]

And flip a coin 100 times and count how many times it comes up with the same face?

[@tomtomorrow05]

How about those Lions?

[@spacefaerie22]

😍

[@HesHere3xP]

play doing Jiu-Jitsu on a tree limb but try not to hurt the tree around the limbs

[@lazyperfectionist1]

Oh. It's Yu. 🤦‍♂ Okay. I'll see myself out, now.

[@jobejeffers9177]

Asian B means A!!!!!

[@cnj67]

So like Free Guy or Lego The Movie?

[@JustStopPlayingGames]

I don't understand people who, when asked how they found success, just make a joke of it. Like, if it was just luck or privilege, just say that.

[@comfort_hash3334]

Where is jon stewart? Did we lose the show again?

[@shawnholbrook7278]

😊
