Ronny Chieng: Asian Comedian Destroys America!

Ronny Chieng: Asian Comedian Destroys America! (2019) is a Netflix stand-up special you can watch online on iFILM. Chieng — a Daily Show correspondent and a recognizable face from Crazy Rich Asians — spends 63 minutes on what American life actually looks like from the outside looking in.

Money, race, and the gap between how Americans see themselves and how the rest of the world sees them: he covers all of it fast and without much diplomacy. Growing up in Malaysia and Australia gives Chieng a reference point domestic comedians don't have. He's not processing the culture from inside it — and that distance is where all the material lives.
