      I used to be like him, but you get made fun of, even in professional work settings, and kind of crushed by cliques in the real world. I had to learn to mellow out a bit and even then it's hard to be accepted. But enthusiasm like this is not always well received in the workplace. Maybe on a talk show. But not in some American office.

    As a comeback movie, Everything, Everywhere, All at Once was really an amazing vehicle. At different points in the movie he got to play the wimp, the kung fu bad-mutha, the forlorn romantic, and in the end, the hero who saved everyone. In this movie, he really was everything, everywhere. And he nailed it.

      Can you even think of a hollywood movie or project that had asian actors in them? Hollywood is incredibly white especially in the 80s and 90s when Ke was trying to break out.

    I'm a 39 year old single dad to a 17 year old son. I work hard at my job making aluminum casting car parts and I came home a few nights ago and decided to watch the recap of The Oscars. This man almost had me me in tears because of how genuinely honest and caring and nice he is. He is a damn national treasure who should be filming 2 MAJOR movies a year if his heart so desires!!!!!! Gongrats Ke, I am not sure if anyone anywhere has EVER deserved ANY award as much as you sir have deserved that Oscar Award!!!

      Usually whenever Colbert has a guest whose name is difficult to pronounce, such as an Irish guest, he'll apologize to the guest for mangling their name & bend over backwards to get the correct pronunciation. But not so with Asian-American guests.

    It was touching and sad to hear that Ke Huy Quan had thought everyone had forgotten about him. I certainly can't speak for everyone, but for myself, I know that well before this movie, the characters Short Round and Data were names that often came up in pop culture conversations and on podcasts that I listen to. Those characters are baked into my nostalgia and are absolutely some of the most memorable parts of those movies, which in turn were extremely memorable parts of my pop-culture development. I'm glad he's getting this chance to find out just how much he's remembered, and how excited we are to see him back on our screens.
