"Just do the press thing so I can go home." I love that Ronny is always annoyed, sarcastic, or angry.

[@joep3279]

Ronnie is great as a correspondent, but I think his style of comedy doesn't lend itself well to hosting.

[@saueruga]

I was the guy that started the Ronny chant! Super fun experience to go to the taping, I grew up loving the Daily Show!

[@emu_warrior]

so like did it seem awkward in person as it does to me after the chant bit? they seem so awkward

[@annacanada1592]

As a 39 year old Chinese Canadian woman and mom, it means so much to see 2 amazingly talented hilarious asian super stars on a big time TV show. Thanks A & R

Btw, James Hong is an actual legend. I am so happy he finally got his Hollywood Star.

[@mrodriguez16ks]

When Ronny Chieng showed up as "Fish" in KFP4 my theater gave a 10 minute standing ovation.

[@michaelcecchin]

Now we know ronnie’s KZbin burner account.

[@cuthysmalz2]

We yelled Ronnie for 10 minutes until the usher came and told us to shut up.

[@doggytheanarchist7876]

That must have been so annoying for the kids just trying to watch a movie. 10 minutes is a lot of audio to miss out on just coz y'all can't control your fanboyness.

[@joshuambean]

When I first heard about this format with Jon on Monday's and the rest of the cast rotating through as hosts I thought it was sort of a cheap way out. But as we've experienced it it's been really funny. It hasn't always been perfect but the little mistakes or timing miscues add a certain charm to the show that makes it super relatable and even more funny. Ronny has been great so far!

[@aarojpoll]

When they couldn't find one person to take it over this was the obvious solution to me but now that John is back and only wants to do one day a week it's great I just wish Roy didn't have to leave

[@flipina]

Same, I wish he were part of the rota of hosts ​@aarojpoll

[@xavierabii548]

Yeah it's cool that they kept this format. I wish Roy Wood Jr. was still on the show. He was the funniest guy there.

[@leademi1387]

I think rotating the cast from now on is the best move for the show.

[@andrewgonzalez6208]

If it’s funny I’m not complaining

[@buddahluvaz8]

Subscribed for Jon Stewart stayed for Ronny 😂

[@TheJosephoenix]

Liar

[@wayneerichsen]

Same 👍

[@janc4754]

Me too

[@BeMoreFunny]

Same! I haven't really been watching any of the other correspondents until I watched Ronny's full show on Tuesday and was pleasantly surprised by how many times he made me laugh out loud.

[@adriano3401]

Same.

[@guandjs]

Ronnie swims so deep in satire that I think sometimes even he doesn’t know which way is up or how to get out! 😂

[@WookbooKtheeKpopTrucker]

'Swims'

[@Lee-vb4vh]

Was his satire a bit like being sarcastic, awkward, annoyed or something else?

[@WookbooKtheeKpopTrucker]

@@Lee-vb4vh his comedy style is usually that he's annoyed and gives a sarcastic response.

[@Lee-vb4vh]

@@WookbooKtheeKpopTrucker ok great thank you for interesting info WookBook! I'm just learning how to understand comedic styles. Continued blessings!

This is a masterclass in creating and navigating an awkward moment. Incredible.

An Awkwafina moment, you mean? 😂

[@kylaarmstrong-benjamin8066]

​@@bigmoviefreakright? Every time she's interviewed.... It's awkward AF! I friggin LOVE HER❤

[@SadhviJenn]

Why did he make it awkward. That thought could have stayed in his head and just kept going. No wonder she didn’t know if he was still “doing the bit.”

[@guysabol8743]

[@swilldenn7160]

I think they're great, reminded me how both of them were in shang-chi

[@UNSTABLE111]

This is like the best and worst interview of all time..I love this chaos lolol

[@RamenDenominator]

Okay, this dude is officially a comedic genius.

[@AarrenDieok]

Yup, Ronny Cheng is spectacularly funny and a gifted host with the gift of gab.

[@CuttinUpGetGapped]

The trend for years was self deprecating jokes and I always wondered when or if it would change and Ronny seems to be able to cleverly present the most narcissistic perception of himself but it's not - gross. It's appealing. I love it.

[@Vejur9000]

They have chemistry and this was funny.

[@Lee-vb4vh]

Is self deprecating being down on oneself or egoistical or narcissistic? Thanks

[@Chozenone1981]

Ronnie Chieng keeps it real. Love his personality and clever angry wit.

[@NewMessage]

Was... was this a train wreck, or the most awesome interview ever? I honestly can't tell.

[@plodiN3]

An awesome Trainwreck sounds about right

[@helios7212]

Both? 🤣🤣 Best kind

[@RespectLoveUnityPeace]

Unfortunately, it was bad. He pressed her too hard so she was stuck saying “yeah”.

[@helios7212]

@RespectLoveUnityPeace nah it was great, disagree whole heartedly

[@CharlieLui]

"like watching a beautiful train wreck in slow motion on the other side of the highway"

[@JoshStobart]

This is so incredibly awkward, it's honestly some brilliant comedy whether it's purposeful or not. Ronny has exactly the right timing to have the wrong timing in this interview. He's at 11 while she's at a 5 and completely confused. You can tell he expected her to just go with it and when she didn't he played into the awkwardness really well so whether they intended it to be this way or not, it's incredibly funny so well done both!

[@alondathomas293]

This an entertainment show, so of course this entire thing was planned. It's still kind of funny, though.

[@bkilpatrick5828]

You thought about this too much dude. The whole thing was a bit.

[@SquidandCatAdventures]

She was playing along, dude. And it made it funny. Don't underestimate Awkafina. But that you even considered that it wasn't purposeful means you...

[@imadubsfan1]

Her name is Awkwafina for a reason. She's playing along and doing it convincingly well.

[@lucasa4301]

I came back to this after watching his Connie Chung interview. They're all like this lol I love it

[@danniedanielle8157]

[@stephenhtchan]

Awkwardfina, this was so awesome , couldnt help but laugh genuinely funny their interaction, like 2 friends trying to cheat on a test together failing up, they could do no wrong even when nothing was going right. Perfection, this is next level interviewing

[@jjoohhhnn]

I like Ronny's informal feel to these interviews. But you can tell a lot of hollywood types aren't used to the chaotic energy. It seems like the audience loves it though. It's humanizing, like Hot Ones.

[@tidypeaches]

Great comment!

[@AliasHSW]

Robbin Williams and Jim Carey had “Chaotic energy” too, but Ronny is in another genius dimension

[@RichardServello]

I love that she stuck with the bit. They are both awesome together.

Awkwafina is one of my favorite people. She is so cool.

[@margowakefield3295]

I hope she revises her role as Pek Lin in Crazy Rich Asians. The criticisms against her being accused of cultural appropriation were so unfair. She didn't write the script. She was playing a character according to that script.

[@gengariffith6852]

This interview endeared me to Awkwafina. I felt like I got to see a genuine side of her and see what she's really like. So often in interviews, it feels rehearsed and prepared. They get layup questions that are so practiced that it feels like they're still acting. Meanwhile, I felt like this interview showed off the authentic Awkwafina. It was genuine and relatable. Huge fan of her now.

[@tommiller4895]

Awkwafina is a remarkable Actress. She can do drama or comedy equally well.

[@KeithCasper]

What a great and hillarious interview. I've never seen KFP. This makes me wanna take the time to watch it. So great to deconstruct the "Hollywood Promotional Interview" format--so great!

They both killed it, great chemistry together 😂

[@Gary1H]

She’s so cool, and Ronny’s interviews are like watching a train wreck where no one gets hurt and the passengers trying to put the cars back on the track, to no avail of course. Very entertaining, and awkward even for Awkafina. She’s got a great voice. 👍
