Ronny Chieng on "Crazy Rich Asians" and Representation in Hollywood | Amanpour and Company

[@reocurringdream]

He is so funny on Netflix, but I also really appreciate his honesty here.

[@fc4660]

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.

Finally an educated moderator, he says “ United States ‘ Thank you. America is a continent.

[@saturdaymorninggaming5628]

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.

[@jaiditnon8528]

@@saturdaymorninggaming5628 the book "How to Hide an Empire" explains it. Your explanation is off. Using the word America for one country is already offensive.

[@Riuhvdevsrh]

@@jaiditnon8528 Why is it offensive?

[@saturdaymorninggaming5628]

@@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.

Exciting to see him coming up, he's my Daily Show favorite! Surprised no mention of International Student.

[@Magic_Vince]

Just discovered Ronny Chieng (I'm from Europe) and I immediately became a fan!

[@II-cq5gb]

There's something too comforting about this interview. I like it.

[@jeiz5186]

"If u like harold and kumar, u might like this interveiw." that really cracks me up!

[@hiyukelavie2396]

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

[@yuciehayashi266]

Damn.. Born in Malaysia. Good for you, good for you.

[@aquamarine9916]

He is smart man. His sharp joke is real and fun. Law school career make him a very good actor .

I love how deep Ronny’s voice is and his accent

[@iiDetour]

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.

Wow... that was such a good interview... the only thing I wished he’d ask would have been about the international student series....

[@mydogsbestfren7490]

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

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

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.

[@amilcarschettini5290]

His parents are like you get paid to talk ?!?

[@hilpha]

That's not too different from being a lawyer.

[@l.whansen9611]

I like this guy, intelligent and funny

[@MoiLiberty]

@@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.

Watch his international student show in Australia, so funny. I was hoping for 2nd season.

Ronny makes me laugh like no one else... even during sad covid times.

[@DD-sr9xm]

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.

[@solomodo5124]

Lol that harold and Kumar reference was amazing. He really got the journalist.🤣

[@kennyloong90]

[@sikskillz2186]

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.

[@invictus3598]

Great interview and insight into a terrific comedian! Thank you!

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.

[@ryanshannon7703]

@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.

"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!

The USA is one of the most racist countries in the industrialised world!! I do like him though. He's funny and I really enjoyed his Netflix comedy show.

I love how Ronny talks about it all because it's true. In America, the romantic movies are almost always white, very rare you will see a black but definitelly no Asians in anything. Not sports or acting or anything. It was either Doctor, Lawyer, Accountant, Computer programmer, and so on which is a huge problem in a country that claims about Diversity. It is still an issue today and even decades before this, where as in Asia, it is very common to see Asians in all sorts of roles. America will never be great.
