Comedian Ronny Chieng Didn't Tell His Parents He Got A 'Daily Show' Job

He would make fun of family members. So it was a very, I would say, a very modern style of comedy that he was doing. But obviously he didn't know he was doing comedy. He was just being the life of the party. And he was usually the most educated guy in the room, usually. So he would be making fun of current affairs, current events, people, family members. He would just roast them.

I think a lot of what I learned about comedy, I'm very lucky that I moved to New York City when I was 30 years old, nine years ago, because I think being here in this environment made me a better comic. I don't think comedy is the greatest art form on the planet and whatever, but I think it's a good art form. And one of the good things about it is that we talk to live human beings every day.
