Simu Liu on Becoming a Swiftie & His Parents Accidentally Getting SUPER High

Simu talks about meeting Jimmy for the first time, catches him up on all the stories he has told on the show that Jimmy has missed, living in Los Angeles, trying to get his green card, being invited to the premiere of Taylor Swift’s concert film, sitting in front of her, being the Chief Content Officer of Mila Soup Dumplings, and his parents accidentally eating his edibles and crashing his car while searching for food.

It’s always a delight to see Simu. He also filled in for Kelly Clarkson and interviewed Kumail Nanjiani. He might as well have his own talk show at this point.

[@sweets3745]

Yes he would be great

[@dandoherty9352]

yes he would be great

[@mikewhite4560]

Like EVERYONE Else in America...LOL Enough 😅

[@robynrains7252]

He was good when he filled in for Jimmy summer of 2022😊😂

[@michaellovely6601]

I loved seeing Simu Liu and Kumail Nanjiani testing their superhero knowledge on "The Kelly Clarkson Show."

[@Disneyfreak309]

Simu is one of my favorite celebrity personalities

[@nabeelkhan6202]

Won't disagree but was abused by celebrities not simu but jason statham there was a reason for it but need to know pls someone try to contact one of these people thanks

[@budjitresvalles6397]

I cant help it… but in my head, Simu’s parents are Mr. and Mrs. Kim (Kim’s convenience) and imagine them getting high with those gummy bears and ‘shrums! 😂😂😂

[@bellaventimiglia1111]

That IS a funny image!!! 😂🤣😇

[@tinlunlau1]

I'm actually going to see Appa this weekend. Lol

[@neil_0]

Hilarious 😆 I laughed so hard especially because my parents are around the same age lol. The image of them just wrecking everything haha I didn’t know you could buy shrooms in California lol

[@wc862]

You can see Simu’s parents in his Google Pixel 6 ad, where you can also hear him speak very fluent Mandarin

[@bellaventimiglia1111]

@@wc862 Thanks for sharing…I just watched it…soooo hilarious! 😂

Simu Liu is a fantastic story teller. No wonder people like to have him guest-host for them!

Coming home to find your house-sitting parents have totalled car, shrubbery, stash and food delivery:... Taylor any ideas? Finding that the "delivery" that happens after eating in at KFC is not gratis but has huge bonus benefits in the form of giant talent..? What does the Wheel of Swiftie Fortune offer as signature to that whole life option? 😂🎉

[@davidlovesfilm]

At long last! Simu Liu and Jimmy Kimmel finally meet in person and he tells the funniest story I've heard him tell. 😂😂👏👏

[@RedRoadWoman7]

That story about his parents eating his stash, getting high, totaling his car and eating all the Mila dumplings cracked me up. Simu is so bright, articulate and funny that I totally understand now why Jimmy asked him to fill in for him. Please give this man a Green Card! 😅

[@stevelouie5928]

The story of his parents getting high seems super made up.

[@J.D666]

Simu did a great job of making James laugh out loud

[@TheExorcismus]

@@stevelouie5928 i don't have that much idea about the laws in the US or the exact state, but how did that not involve the police or relevant authorities at some point? also, how is this story a good way to market a product? i would appreciate it if someone from the US can help me understand this so that i can learn more, all i see from the comments are about how good his storytelling is.

[@Kitty8791]

​​@@TheExorcismusSome states have legalized medical marijuana (requires a prescription from a physician) & some have also legalized recreational marijuana, which means it can be sold legally in dispensaries in various formats (edibles - like gummies or chocolate w/ THC in it) to people over 21yo. However, it is not legal federally so crossing certain state borders or flying with it could be illegal. The California House & Senate voted to decriminalize psilocybin (aka magic mushrooms). However, the Governor vetoed the bill earlier this month. However, some cities, like Oakland, CA decriminalized psilocybin & other natural psychedelic plants back in 2019. There are also religious exemptions for certain churches. With respect to crashing his car into a shrubbery on his driveway - that's private property & the vehicle wasn't stolen so no reason for the police to be involved. I'm certain he wouldn't press charges on his own parents either. Young people might be amused by older, inexperienced people accidentally taking drugs and having misadventures. Obviously, the company Mila didn't have a problem as being associated with it or as a food that satisfies "the munchies." However, you could have paid attention to Simu during the interview stating that he lives there. You could then look up that Jimmy Kimmel's show is filmed in Burbank, California. Then you could Google whether the substances mentioned were legal & road rules.

[@RedRoadWoman7]

@@TheExorcismus - I'm not certain if this is was what you were referring to but here goes. The story was meant as entertainment...a real life experience that was funny... even though I'm pretty sure the totaling of the car and the crashing into his and his neighbors' greenery was definitely NOT funny, there was nothing illegal. And just in case, you meant the edibles... legal in California. JMH

[@kathlake4009]

I saw Simu Liu first on Celebrity Jeopardy, and he impressed me with his knowledge, wit and sweet personality.

[@mandycanepandex13]

I met him randomly while walking around Vancouver, Canada! He's the nicest guy. We talked about Taylor Swift - posed for a selfie - so fun!

[@majorfomo2]

Simu always brings great Kenergy 🇨🇦

[@bellaventimiglia1111]

I LUV that Simu is STILL humble after all his success!

I am crying!! This is one of the BEST stories told to Jimmy.

I nominate that story about his parents as "the best story ever"!

Simu is a great guest to any host, fun, easy and enjoyable. Please have him on more frequent.

[@denisefromdc1796]

I binged Kim's Convenience during the pandemic and totally fell in love with Simu. So happy for his success!

As a Taiwanese American that "Of course you do, you are a soup dumpling" line to Guillermo, followed by Guillermo's beaming face just floored me.

I love Simu. Hes such a great person and so funny and intelligent

[@brandonmoore2237]

Simu is always a pleasure when he's on talk shows! Hilarious!!

[@mermaidofaloha]

I love Simu & his story about the dumplings when his parents were house sitting for him. So funny! I’m ordering those dumplings immediately. Nothing like stoned Asian parents with deadly munchies & starvation giving their stamp of approval for how delicious these dumplings are. I can’t wait to try them. Best PR story for advertisement ever. Simu is made to be a Chief Content Captain. ⭐️ He’s got me wanting those dumplings so bad my mouth is watering.

[@aprilmaple5207]

He's so charming! 🥰

This is a great interview! My face hurts from smiling. 😊

Honestly, I’d watch Simu host a daily chat show - what can’t he do??!?

[@dfa3366]

Simu is a natural guy. When he hosted for Kimmel last year it was like he's been doing that for years and years.

[@Greg-io1ip]

I had a friend in college made a mushroom tea during summer break and thought his parents would be gone a day longer. His dad came in thirsty guzzled glasses of mushroom tea and sat watching TV laughing and crying to the point his mom called an ambulance. He got kicked out after that. Poor Kenny. Good guy misunderstood.

[@nadiamccall4311]

I gave my mom some hash brownies a friend had made and WARNED her (my mom has never even been drunk once in her life) to be careful, that a tiny bit would be enough for sleep. She called me at four in the morning freaking out, she had eaten a whole bunch more than a bite, and could not stand how she felt and was very upset. Sounds like Kenny's dad at least got to laugh and cry a bit.

[@mf568]

I am so happy his parents are all right🤣🤣

[@dancxjo]

Mr. Liu as Ken (my very first crush)...with that swoosh....be still, my heart!
