10 Things Jimmy O. Yang Can't Live Without | GQ

[@ksrt2654]

Love that he is authentically sharing his actual essentials. And I want to buy everything he’s showing us!

[@osamaal-humaimidi1481]

still no one compares to Jason Sudeikis' ACTUAL essentials in his backpack, reading glasses, notebook for script ideas, red pen and his laptop. he is the only celebrity that shared actual essentials and not show off some weird items.

[@jox831]

I particularly want to check out that tea to drink to cool you down as my body hasn't been liking Spicy foods lately

[@TWICException]

As an Asian American, I can confirm that Jimmy is giving out all the genuine Asian family products secrets.

[@kotaku46]

王老吉 and 川貝枇杷膏😂

[@helenh2442]

when i saw 王老吉，i'm shocked that it has powder version hahaha

[@gpcheng87]

Agree, especially the older generation and the ridiculously hot bev temps! 😅

[@Asian_pianist]

Agreed, too bad Jimmy didn’t present the rice cooker... although I was surprised to see the 川贝枇杷膏. Very effective and helpful, everyone should get one.

[@JD-bz9xb]

@@helenh2442 lol same here!! I only know the red aluminum bottle version.

[@IamTonySy]

Waiting for Jimmy on Hot Ones

[@fruppypie]

Yes!!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@brokenglassshimmerlikestar3407]

I saw this and was like, he's been on that! Wait, no, he hasn't???? He needs to be on that!!

[@AndieWalsh333]

@FirstWeFeast Make it happen! All that scotch bonnet talk - Do you think he could give Lorde a run for her money?

[@mac9413]

No cap

[@azureskies119]

Yes!!!!

[@HelloMoto_]

I appreciate the fact that he sticks and is proud of his culture.. all those teas and herbs is why Asian people live forever 😄

[@samsung40_media87]

Asia is made up of many countries. He was born in Hong Kong and some of the things he mentions are Japanese

[@bngr_bngr]

It’s the rice.

[@もの-m4s]

@@bngr_bngr a racist is here😅

[@MrAbe1984]

On average European countries have longer life expectancies 😂

[@bngr_bngr]

@@もの-m4s Latino or Asian, it’s about the biggest component in their diet, rice.

[@meeeenk_1065]

I think out of all the "10 essential" series I've seen, Jimmy's the only one that brought like real "essentials" xD big ups Jimmy!

[@CharlesRyu]

Joji too

[@victory01]

For real, everything was actually practical and you can tell he genuinely uses all that stuff every single day.

[@matt-lang]

Alex Honnold literally brought things he needs to live lol

[@anhnhvn]

@@matt-lang Yep John Bernthal too.

[@bucsr.6106]

I love how genuine he is in EVERYTHING he says and does. Such a great human.

[@MarianiOktavia]

As an Indonesian-Chinese (Chindo), It can't be more relatable than having a tea, pei pa gao, the flonase, bento box, and anything contains ginger (and also garlic) and the massage tools 😂 so proud

[@mcvv719]

he is so relatable in every way for us 😂

[@leechurn7758]

Every Malaysian knows about pie pa go as well

[@erwintan4746]

yang bener lu mak,gue cuma ada peipagao doang sama tehnya meski beda varian

[@Drolly95]

Jimmy is so genuine. Seems like such a cool dude.

[@robinlinh]

as an Asian living abroad, I was surprised with the struggle the first time I try to look for food container that can keep heat and seal compartment for soup. Because Western often pack salat or bread and not hot food. So I resonate with Jimmy when he pulled out those Bento box.

[@kellygreengables3936]

If you can't find a Bento box you like, try getting a thermos!! It's exactly gor that purpose.

[@r7calvin]

Yeah, people usually just use tupperware that you can microwave at lunch + soup thermos.

[@paulamusik2509]

I discovered Pei Pa Kao through Jimmy a few years ago and I want to say: as a singer and actor I cannot thank you enough for that! That stuff has saved me and my colleagues multiple times.

[@Alecsodyssey]

I served jimmy at an airport bar in Pittsburgh, super down to earth guy. I thought about ID’ing him cause he looks like he could be 17 but then I was like nah that’s Jimmy O Yang

[@xfg007]

Jimmy O Kimmel

[@danayoung0203]

Jimmy has officially transformed into an Asian auntie😂

[@tanvu2728]

when he explained the HOT and COLD concept with food, I was mindblown cause I know most people won't get that XD

[@ynwkm]

yeeet hayyyyy😂

[@dangaines405]

I love Jimmy as a comedian. But it turns out he is also a great and down to earth guy! You go Jimmya! 😅

[@masterkinglee]

You got rappers with their gold chains essential, movie stars with their Coach bag essential, athletes with their sunglasses essential, and now we have Jimmy with his tea and herbal essential…. 😃😃🤣🤣👍

[@realTonyJiang]

Too stereotype😂

[@samcnyk]

As an asian, he literally his asian mother's medicine box

[@brokenglassshimmerlikestar3407]

The throat relief sirop, Pi Pa Gao, is made of the fruit of loquat I think. It's sweet and gooey and when I was little I would sometimes drink it even when I didn't have a sore throat.

[@chibi639]

100% I thought it was candy. 😂 My mom couldn't figure out how we got through bottles so quickly.

[@awesomehorse1678]

yep! Pi Pa is loquat in chinese

[@imightbebiased9311]

It also got out way before Ben Schwartz was doing the voice of Sonic. Voice actors have known about that stuff for well over 2 decades.

[@tinlunlau1]

​@@chibi639it does come in a candy

[@aniqanuar6320]

its rare to see these with actual personality and daily usage

[@Andesu]

He's the best part of any show he's on. He helped carry Space Force, but too bad it was canceled.

[@aaronfalzerano9432]

Ben Schwartz in that was hysterical

[@sandymiao]

As a Malaysian Chinese, pei pa kou & wong lou kat is also a must have in every household! 😂

[@rhythmrecall]

Actually really cool to see the assortment of Asian items. You are awesome, Jimmy

[@ebehrens]

I take that black syrup for ANY throat problem growing up, I still always keep one in my house hold. For mild symptom it really makes anything instantly feel better.

[@loknessdh12]

Pei Pa Koa is no joke. Used to took it after going to music fest or concert , super effective 😂

[@Roy-G-Biv]

take a shot every time Jian-Yang says " my girlfriend".

[@csong9940]

He mentions her a *little* too often in all his new material

[@bngr_bngr]

@@csong9940because see is white.

[@csong9940]

@@bngr_bngr I know. He mentions that too.

[@Kitty8791]

Let's hope it doesn't end up like John Mulaney's "my wife"

[@Roy-G-Biv]

@@Kitty8791 yes…..

[@Weeping-Angel]

Omg I had no idea they made little packets of Wang Lao Ji . I’ve only had the canned versions in those red cans. 王老吉 👑

[@deel699]

Me either

[@hexlee9518]

The most authentic share, LOVE THAT

[@dancingdreame]

why do I want to buy almost everything in his top 10? They all are truly life-enhancing

[@jcout25]

I was a bartender for over a decade. And I wondered every single day how Asians specifically were able to shotgun 120 degree water like it was nothing. Glad to see him call this one out lol.

[@cli4g67graS]

My tea had to be 95 degrees Celsius

[@ottow5591]

I love jimmy so much he’s so fun

[@herrysyu2585]

Jimmy is seemed to be a whole different person without the glasses😂😂

[@chey6073]

The lack of glasses and the shorter hair makes him look so much older!

[@kellygreengables3936]

Yes, it's like a more confident, less nerdy vibe. He also looks more mature with this haircut.

[@evelynrivera8799]

I love Jimmy Yang . He's a great comedian and actor. Love Hard is one of my favorite movies. 💜❤

[@grace_koh]

My mum would bring a packet of instant coffee to a Chinese restaurant and then ask for a cup of hot water. 🤣🤣 I thought she was the only one who did that.

[@raymondmeng49]

In conclusion, having a girlfriend is essential

[@ddnn974]

You have to add “who can actually cook and be willing to provide whenever necessary”

[@thecunninlynguist]

Neat to see his come up.

[@vivianidelacerda9708]

I just like hearing him talk; it's relaxing enough for me...

[@ellanyparkman9991]

I love how when he talks about temperature, he is using still celsius! 🇭🇰🇭🇰🇭🇰🇭🇰🇭🇰

[@ME-pe9be]

I have a stuffed Tayto! He's definitely great for stress relief cause he's so squishy.

[@dalalalhaa]

Jimmy is definitely very proud of his gf.

[@8thpenguin]

Lovely to see some of Jimmy's essentials are so traditional ✨️ 😍 😊

[@captainsavem]

Very unique essentials, definitely tried many of these but but willing to try more

[@LePinkCanary]

OMG his voice gives me Billy Crystal Vibes and now I realize why I enjoy his stuff so much 🤣

[@BattleStar_Yolettica]

I love how he talks about his girlfriend and heritage. Also, i really want that "massager".

[@seekittycat]

Honestly so real and so practical

[@Jmittle101]

I started using Pei Pa Koa, and it really is helping my cough and sore throat. Thanks Jimmy for the recommendation!

[@evolvvartstudio]

We need Amazon links for these products ASAP.

[@wayallen831]

"Growing up in HK and China", that statement might ruffle some feathers 😂

[@bngr_bngr]

It’s the same country.

[@Inscones]

@@bngr_bngr growing up in Hawaii is different than growing up in Arkansas. China is a big country, HK is drastically different than mainland

[@bngr_bngr]

@@Inscones it’s still the same country.

Considering his age, he grew up in Hong Kong when it was a British Colony.
