As an Australian, living in Malaysia and Singapore, the self deprecating origin story Ronnie shares is absolutely impressive. No chance anyone could have racked up those accomplishment without intellect, tenacity and grit. I have a whole new level of respect for the man.
Ronny's save at the Intl. Emmys was hilarious. What a brilliant bit of improv to save the night and Turturro from embarrassment. If the organizers can't recognize that, then they don't deserve Ronny's wit. To hell with 'em, Ronny!
Well, NH does have Santa's Village and the flume gorge which I thought was magical. And then as an adult, learning to ski at Waterville Valley and Loon mountain was thrilling. Love the skiing in NH and VT. But wouldn't want to live there.
I mean I occasionally feel like this about Minnesota, where I grew up, but then I go back and the air hurts my face and it's very confusing as to why I ever liked it. But when I'm in gorgeous sunny California I'm like: I MISS SNOW and WATERFALLS
Loved getting to watch Ronnie develop his career in Australia. His tv show International Student is hilarious. So glad he's getting the respect and recognition he deserves. Love you Ronnie
Ronnie is fantastic. As an Aussie … seeing him start out at various gigs in Melbourne… very proud to see him do so well. Look forward to see him go from success to success!
Right on, Ronny, you're the best. It's really touching to hear about your history and your parents. Life is amazing, so many different vantage points, frame of reference; choices, random events. We're grateful for your passion and insight and your delivery! Intense and hilarious. 🎉 😂
Ronny saved the International Oscars by releasing tension from the screw-up and blaming it on the accountants, who belong to the "oppressor class" and are free-fire targets.
Ronny Chieng is my favorite living comedian. Thank you Christian Singapore girls for damaging his soul just enough to inspire his return to America. He is a National Treasure!
Ronny is top notch. I saw him a bunch when he was living in Melbourne. He was always great on live podcasts and his standup is great, truely one of the greats
I remember seeing Ronny Chieng at Raw Comedy in Melbourne when he was studying at my university. I know he’s more Malaysian, Singaporean, and American than Australian, but I still feel hometown pride when I see him on tv!
It’s kinda clear they were scared to go with Hasan after the ridiculous attacks on him, and none of the others were good enough to be the only host, so Jon Stewart’s coming back to reinvent the show with them. It’s a pity they didn’t dare to go with Hasan, but it will be nice to see Jon Stewart back.
His comedy acts out a bit arrogant (and hilarious) yet he seems so humble and genuinely shy and respectful just like in this interview. Ronny is awesome.
Is it just me or do you guys also find the Malaysian accent to be very bad? It's probably the worst cause everything seems like coming from the throat. It's like he's trying to vomit while he is talking?
@@victorerzikoff1203true and I feel he's putting on a mixed of an accent. Not a Malaysian accent 100% lah, ini macam dia kena talk style orang putih so they faham 😂
As someone who lived in Nashua, NH as a kid, this conversation was hilarious to me. Ah, the lights of Manchevegas! Totally random is a perfect way to describe the area. Growing up, it was awesome. (We swam in a quarry!) Going back as an adult, it was a bit depressing.... (How safe was that quarry anyway?! lol.)
5:50 i moved to Londonderry in '97, no one knows why it's referred to as ManchVegas. My California friends asked about minority issues I said, oh it's a problem. It's the French!
@@dEadERest I'm pretty sure it only became ManchVegas in the late 1990's. But be careful about what you say about the Quebecois in Manchester, they own basically the entire west side of the river.
Ronny is a very intense and funny human being. You never know what comes out next but he is always apologetic, polite, and funny. Fantastic stuff, very entertaining.
Ronnie is a bit humble. His undergrad is from the University of Melbourne, which is the #1 research university in Australia. His law degree is from Australian National University, which is a top-tier university.
My sense is that Comedy Central does its best to employ its stable of comedians, using shows like Drunk History and more recently, The Daily Show. And likely others -- after Colbert left the network, I stopped watching CC. In any case, I think it's terrific. Nice to have you back, Jon!
He’s actually such a talented guy! He would be filthy rich as a greedy accountant but I do think his life is better like this! I’m sure happy about everything he’s being part of! :)
Can I just say I'm happy that Ronnie Chieng eventually leaned into his Malaysian heritage. I remember when he basically implied he was Singaporean. I get it, he's from Johor Bahru, which, as he said, is like New Jersey to Singapore's New York. But good on him. 🇲🇾
Nah. Stewart reinvented the show. I remember the original and when Stewart took over. The show that exists today is a totally different beast to the Killborn days. So, if you want to be picky, you could say that Stewart was the first host of the current version of the show, or something like that.
I would had said the same thing, I would had been disapointed if you hadn't said it. If they didn't like it is cause they felt responsable for it too. They should invite you back because without you no one would know that the International Emmy's are a thing.

Yeah, Hes Malaysian.
He's clearly highly intelligent and diligent with whatever he does.
Great comment!
It’s true. It adds a little sass to his comedy, it’s great!
He really is f-cking awesome!! One of the very funniest comedians there is and so fabulous in every single thing he's done!
Ronny's save at the Intl. Emmys was hilarious. What a brilliant bit of improv to save the night and Turturro from embarrassment. If the organizers can't recognize that, then they don't deserve Ronny's wit. To hell with 'em, Ronny!
Exactly. He works hard.
what happened?
They said it in the video. The first announcer was given the wrong name to announce as the winner.
first time
Ronny Chieng has an amazing life story!Thank you for doing comedy instead of corporate law. 💪🏽
Yes! ❤
Thank the five Christian Singaporean girls.
he looks like his wife, one of those couples that look similar
That doctor might lose his medical license
I am super thankful to Trevor Noah for giving Ronny the encouragement and support he needed. Thank you Ronny for every laugh and giggle 😂😂😂😂
Having lived in NH since 1987, his description of Manchester being "magical" as a kid and then "a very random place to be" is... being polite ;)
Dude it's manchganistan and it's GONE TO HELL. He did say he hadn't been in 25 years and once upon a time manchvegas was special
Well, NH does have Santa's Village and the flume gorge which I thought was magical. And then as an adult, learning to ski at Waterville Valley and Loon mountain was thrilling.
Love the skiing in NH and VT. But wouldn't want to live there.
@@falloncohen6814 that all started when they turned Elm St into this cheap version of Concord. Should've left it alone...
I mean I occasionally feel like this about Minnesota, where I grew up, but then I go back and the air hurts my face and it's very confusing as to why I ever liked it. But when I'm in gorgeous sunny California I'm like: I MISS SNOW and WATERFALLS
and probably realized that he should be locking his car doors
Loved getting to watch Ronnie develop his career in Australia. His tv show International Student is hilarious. So glad he's getting the respect and recognition he deserves. Love you Ronnie
It was excellent...so perfect....haha
International Student was hilarious!!
Ronnie is fantastic. As an Aussie … seeing him start out at various gigs in Melbourne… very proud to see him do so well. Look forward to see him go from success to success!
you ever check ABC's Problems? I love the fuggin show
Never mind Trevor and John Stewart, I'm in for watching just for Ronny Chieng!
Loved your work ever since International Student.
Me too!
Did International Student finish?
Right on, Ronny, you're the best. It's really touching to hear about your history and your parents. Life is amazing, so many different vantage points, frame of reference; choices, random events.
We're grateful for your passion and insight and your delivery!
Intense and hilarious. 🎉 😂
Ronnie is completely amazing. Definitely the funniest and most talented. Very smart law school comedian.
Ronny saved the International Oscars by releasing tension from the screw-up and blaming it on the accountants, who belong to the "oppressor class" and are free-fire targets.
For real, sounds like he was able to turn it into a hilarious callback to clapping for them earlier 😂 brilliant!
Imagine being able to save the International Oscars as host of the International Emmy's. That is some top notch work.
Ronny Chieng is my favorite living comedian. Thank you Christian Singapore girls for damaging his soul just enough to inspire his return to America. He is a National Treasure!
Love Ronny! He is so hilarious and he tells it like it is! Wish they would have made him the new host of the Daily Show. 🙏☮️💙
Ronny is top notch. I saw him a bunch when he was living in Melbourne. He was always great on live podcasts and his standup is great, truely one of the greats
This is the first time I've heard of this guest and he's so funny. I love him. He's hilarious, such an authentic guest
I LOVE RONNY
Ronnie Chieng is absolutely one of my favorite comedians
I remember seeing Ronny Chieng at Raw Comedy in Melbourne when he was studying at my university. I know he’s more Malaysian, Singaporean, and American than Australian, but I still feel hometown pride when I see him on tv!
Ronny Chieng is HILARIOUS!!!
This guy is so funny . I love him ❤
Ronny Chieng should be the new Daily Show host!
He’s still a grasshopper apparently
Daily Show needs Jon right now but I hope Ronnie gets plenty of hosting time tue-thurs
Or Roy Wood Jr.
It’s kinda clear they were scared to go with Hasan after the ridiculous attacks on him, and none of the others were good enough to be the only host, so Jon Stewart’s coming back to reinvent the show with them.
It’s a pity they didn’t dare to go with Hasan, but it will be nice to see Jon Stewart back.
@naylas3908 Yeah, that whole thing with the "article" about Hasan was such bullshit.
What a life story Ronny Chiang has! It took a lot of courage, intelligence and perseverance to become the comedian he is today.
Glad to see Ronny doing the late night rounds. He's absolutely hilarious 👏🏽👏🏽
Ronney is the man! So happy for him and his success. Can’t wait to see his stand up in my neck of the woods.
His comedy acts out a bit arrogant (and hilarious) yet he seems so humble and genuinely shy and respectful just like in this interview. Ronny is awesome.
Love you Ronnie! Took my now husband to see you perform live in Sydney a couple years back and glad that you’re doing so well!!
Love me some Ronny Chieng 😂😂😂❤❤
Me too.
❤ from Malaysia!
You make us proud, Ronny!
Is it just me or do you guys also find the Malaysian accent to be very bad? It's probably the worst cause everything seems like coming from the throat. It's like he's trying to vomit while he is talking?
@@victorerzikoff1203true and I feel he's putting on a mixed of an accent. Not a Malaysian accent 100% lah, ini macam dia kena talk style orang putih so they faham 😂
actually, Craig Kilborn was the first host of the Daily Show, before Jon Stewart. But Jon re-invented it and made it so much better.
SO much better!
First, I absolutely love Ronny. Second, Craig Kilborn started The Daily Show. Gotta pay respect.
Kilborne may have started the Daily Show but Jon Stewart still invented the Daily Show that we love
As someone who lived in Nashua, NH as a kid, this conversation was hilarious to me. Ah, the lights of Manchevegas! Totally random is a perfect way to describe the area. Growing up, it was awesome. (We swam in a quarry!) Going back as an adult, it was a bit depressing.... (How safe was that quarry anyway?! lol.)
I really loved his show "International Student". SO FUNNY!
Ronny is a treasure.
❤love Ronny!! I cant wait for his late night talk show wars to start.
As a fellow ManchVegas native, thank you for repping my hometown. (I don't think I knew Ronnie when I lived there.)
5:50 i moved to Londonderry in '97, no one knows why it's referred to as ManchVegas. My California friends asked about minority issues I said, oh it's a problem.
It's the French!

His standup is so good
Ronny Chieng is a great Malaysian Comedian i ever seen.
they may have forgotten, but i haven't. Craig Kilborn was great, and while the show is very different now, wouldn't exist without him.
"When news breaks, we fix it..."
Can't believe they chose Jon Stewart over ANY of the anchor stalwarts; Ronnie Cheng, Roy Wood Jr, Desi Lydeck and more. 🤦🏻♂️
Uh…That’s Roy Wood, Jr…..not Roy Jones.
Loving Ronny's socks!
Brown shoes with red laces and socks that appear to have Ronny's likeness on them - thats bold couture! 😅
Either that, or he was gifted Uncle Roger merch!
They are from an Aussie sock maker called Bruce Goose. And yes it is Ronny's face on them!!
he needs his own show
Ronnie so hatefully charming lol
Love ronny! He has such a unique wit.
Ronny is a very intense and funny human being. You never know what comes out next but he is always apologetic, polite, and funny. Fantastic stuff, very entertaining.
Too Late Night with Seth Myers
Ronnie Chieng always kills. 🤣🤣🤣
Ronnie is a bit humble. His undergrad is from the University of Melbourne, which is the #1 research university in Australia. His law degree is from Australian National University, which is a top-tier university.
I’ve always loved your sense of humor sir. This interview is no exception!
Oh God Seth, I was in Manchester, NH once, and I thought it was the most boring place, but to see you came from there, it kind of changes everything.
Love Ronny Chieng! 🎉
How is it possible that Seth just met Ronny!
My sense is that Comedy Central does its best to employ its stable of comedians, using shows like Drunk History and more recently, The Daily Show. And likely others -- after Colbert left the network, I stopped watching CC.
In any case, I think it's terrific.
Nice to have you back, Jon!
Love Ronny Chieng!
My favorite Ronny sketch on The Daily Show was when he did the professional pillow fighting. I still watch that and I still pee my pants laughing.
That first joke you can see him really doubling down just hating it and then figuring out a real reason why later
Ima huge fan of Ronny! He’s so hilarious!
So Ronny did all this studiyng to be prepared to play a douchbag consultant in a John Oliver piece about McKinsey? That is commitment.
Thanks for sharing your time here!
The Times Square photos are so wholesome!
Should be Roy wood hosting
Huge shout-out to ManchVegas! Loved my time there despite being robbed.
Yay, Ronny! & Yay Manchester NH! 😁💕
I stan Manch Vegas! New Hampshire born and raised!💜✨

Corrections: 1:00 Craig Killborn was the first The Daily Show Host.~Excellent interview
He said, He invented the Show, which is kind of true, because he is the spiritual father off how it runs now.
@@jopalm3649 that's some Elon invented tesla energy there.
Nah, Killborn's version of the show (and the first 3-4 seasons with Stewart) were a different show entirely.
Nah. Stewart reinvented the show. I remember the original and when Stewart took over. The show that exists today is a totally different beast to the Killborn days. So, if you want to be picky, you could say that Stewart was the first host of the current version of the show, or something like that.
@@tammyd.970 if you aren't a jackal, why even watch this show.
Love Ronny Chieng.
The international Emmys must been an emotional damage 🤣
Love that guy
Ronny is awesome--love him!
Conan needs to host a late night wars as the reigning king of late night, with co-host Ronny Chieng
Love Ronny!
Ronny is hilarious everytime!
Ronny Chieng is funny as sh*t and I mean that in the best way.
LOVE Ronnie Chang❕❕
*Love Ronnie*
Love ronny. Not a lot of male Asians comedians who crack me up, but he always nails it. He is the angry asian guy in my book.
Love Ronny so much
No better guest, he's so funny.
Ronny is always a great guest. Glad, he didn't went through with the "douchebag lawyer" curriculum👍
Ronny is hilarious❤
Jon was absolutely seminal in terms of focused media and certainly as far as the talent pool generated which still has surprises for us.( ie Ronnie)
I would had said the same thing, I would had been disapointed if you hadn't said it. If they didn't like it is cause they felt responsable for it too. They should invite you back because without you no one would know that the International Emmy's are a thing.
Love Ronnie!! 💕
Hosting Daily Show seems really hard after Stewart. Hard shoes to fill . His style was quick and it worked . Hope Ronnie keeps getting more bits.
Sucks they brought back jon stewart, kind of a shot to all the talented correspondents that were trying for the gig.
I love Ronny ❤
Any other New Hampshire residents?!!! Wahoo!!
The more women break men’s hearts, the less awful lawyers will become and the more entertaining comedians will be is a message I can get behind
This "kid" has so much cool energy.. :)
I love this. Ive never seen him just be a real dude before
Welcome to Manchester, New Hampshire: The Most Random Place To Be
Ronnie Rocks!
Best Daily Show comedian..
The best thing about the US is that the country appreciates real talents and offer a stage for them.
Ronny is a cool cookie!
Ronny is hilarious!!
Craig Kilborn was the first host of the Daily Show.
Great entrance!
