It’s weird cuz back in my day, my peers couldn’t stand her. My friends and brother said she’s stupid as a rocker in Wayne’s world that screamed annoyingly
Her story is really inspirational when you think about it. She was just a regular girl with dreams of being a professional singer, was randomly discovered in a market, got to work on some of the biggest and most popular movies and tv shows of all time, did a few stinkers, became a prolific voice actor, appeared on some more popular shows, does movies when she seems to feel like it, made a couple of albums, went platinum, and ultimately won a Grammy… and all this with little to no controversy at any point👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
As a Canadian who grew up in Toronto, "Relic Hunter" (where most of it was filmed) is something I still watch to this day a few times of year. It's well written, and has a ton of banter... Something I never get tired of. I only wish they did more than 3 seasons!
One thing I can say is that Tia Carrere seems like one of the nicest people in Hollywood. Two years ago out of nowhere I received a video from her. It turned out that she is best friends with my best friend from high schools' girlfriend, well now she is his ex-girlfriend. I hope that made sense. Anyway, it wasn't a quick video just to say hi. The video was almost a minute long were she talks about my son who was 12 at the time and what a great dad she heard I was. It was so nice and at the end of the video she actually said take care and "party on!" I wish I could attach it here because it was so nice of her!
I picked up her first album in a discount bin for $5, and it was not a bad listen. I haven't seen most of the movie and tv projects she's been in the last decade or so, but I am glad to know she is still around. For quite a while, she was definitely one of my favorite actresses.
Amazing actress, great singer, and a timeless beauty. Seeing her in Wayne's World has quite the impression on a 13 year old boy. She was great in True Lies too. She is amazing, I've been in love with this goddess for 30 years... ❤
She's Chinese/Filipino descent and her real name is Althea Rae Duhinio Janairo... not hard to pronounce lol. She is most certainly not Hawaiian ancestry, just born there. :)
Not Hawaiian, just born there? So folks born in the US aren't Americans then, they were just born here? Hmmm so the native Americans Indians are then the only true Americans then?
I thought that the narrator was incredibly disrespectful by not even attempting to pronounce her name and by literally “butchering” the pronunciation of all the Hawaiian words as well. One would think that he might do a little research before attempting this narration.
She was in my favorite 80s/90s show for an episode as well called Tour of Duty as well as a Vietnamese refugee being escorted by the ToD crew. She spoke no English, but she certainly stood out and was important to the episodes plot line.
OMG I was just typing that I saw that episode. It’s a great episode of quantum Leap and she played the Vietnamese girl that was leading them into a trap. Oh my God I love that you know that my TH-cam friend lol.
Hollow Point with her, Thomas Ian Griffith and Donald Sutherland is a movie I watched constantly in the nineties. She matched Griffith's crazy perfectly in that movie. Amazing chemistry between the three main cast members. The plot is not even important because of how great they play off of each other.
In tech. You're probably imagining those are in house produced videos. They are not. Everything is a service these days. She's in the Ninjio videos. Another old known face that regularly appears is the bad guy from Goonies, Robert Davi
Add to that in 2001-2003 she was the Martian Queen in the animated series “Duck Dodgers”. In ‘Talent A Go-go’ she belts out the (imo) most sultry version of “Blues in the Night”!
Say whatever you want about "direct to video" fare, most of her 90s films rocked hard. I love The Immortals, Hollow Point, Top Of The World and Scarred City. Great action flicks on a budget.
The whole "It all began in a supermarket which led to Aloha Summer" narrative never makes any sense, because not only did she begin on TV but she continued to thrive there. In the miniseries Noble House she got to play a character named Venus -- what a fit.
I love high school high, the scene where he puts the thing on his steering wheel and turns around and the car is gone. LOVE IT ! haha. I really liked her in all the movies ive seen her in. Wish she would be involved with more movies now. Seems odd that she fell into the straight to video thang. :-(
This “narrator” really could have dial down his sarcasm and condescension about her during this video not to mention the deliberately, mispronouncing Hawaiian words really does smack as racism
@@omegamac10odd as it sounds, the e on the end is pronounced with an A. I'll have to go back and check out David Letterman and Jay Leno clips but... I'm pretty sure.
You neglected to mention her appearance in the 1987 Canadian film "Zombie Nightmare," which had the distinction of receiving the Mystery Science Theater 3000 treatment. Original Batman Adam West was also in this film.
Guess you didnt really do a good enough research, Shes FULL Filipino actually (both her parents), thats why she did Easter Sunday with comedian Jokoy as she got to play a character of her ethnicity, she mentioned it in the interviews when the movie came out, Shes also supported Filipino American causes like getting WW2 FilipinoAmerican vets their benefits in the early 2000s as alot of them were passing away.
Tia was an amazing 10 but Hated how Hollywood always portrayed as a token exotic mysterious Asian beauty or casted as a Japanese character (Minako Okeya in Showdown in Little Tokyo ,Jingo Asakuma in rising sun , Kimiko in Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man etc) when she's Filipino and Chinese descent and there was numerous more suitable Japanese descent actress for the role, i guess bigoted cesspit that is 'hollywood' subscribes to the "they all look the same" trope so didn't care?! Also respect to her for not becoming shark jumping stale like Michelle Yeoh accepting every token "strong Asian girl boss'" role being spammed in a million films and crap netflix dramas..
She was probably my first celebrity crush.😍😍😍 At first I thought that she is east asian and some kind of martial artist. I didn’t even knew she was from Hawaii until I googled her biography.😁😁😇😇😇
I expected a complicated name, but her birth name is just "Althea Rae Duhinio Janairo". I'd hate to have such a beautiful name just to meet a stranger who tells you say 'I can't read, I'll just call you... Peter'. And I'd hate for anyone to have to make up a stage name because 'syllables are hard' for some people in one country. Also Relic Hunter was called 'Sydney Fox, the Adventurer' in France. Carrère is a pretty common last name in France, and for the longest time, I stupidly thought she had some relation to the country! Lies!
You forgot to mention her 90's venture into early FMV PC gaming, with The Daedalus Encounter! Also, having watched this and Julia Stiles' video back to back, it's amazing how they kind of look alike, same smile and glinty eyes.
Tia Carrere is one of the most talented, beautiful and sexiest women alive. I liked her in Showdown in Little Toyko. The Wayne's World movies. True Lies. My Teacher's Wife. Kull the Conqueror and Relic Hunter.
She is such a big crush of mine. Her most sultry appearance was Showdown in Little Tokyo. She would have made the best Psylocke character for a 90s version of X-men.
Kull the Conqueror is a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine. Tia is one of the main reasons I like the film though. Relic Hunter is one of my fave TV shows of the era. I've actually been re-watching. She was great in True Lies, which is a great movie in general. I do think the first time I saw her though was Wayne's World, yeah. Definitely one of my celebrity crushes.
Absolutely loved Tia Carrere in Relic Hunter which was a mixture of Tomb Raider meets Indiana Jones with some comedic elements thrown in and she was fantastic in the lead role of Sydney Fox. One of the most beautiful ladies in the world who still looks amazing to this day ❤️
I can’t believe it 😱 she’s the Wayne’s world babe!!Schwing plus she did the end credit song for Batman mask of the phantasm that was her ??🥵 schwing schwing she sounds like Mariah Carey without the whistle I’ve been wondering who’s singing that for the longest time so thx joblo for the tip I did she voiced Nan-E in lilo and stitch I watched one and town plus that one that’s supposed to be a hour pilot for lilo and stitch the series I think lilo and stitch dawn of the pods woulda been a better title than calling the movie that’s going to b confusing for any little kid in the 20s lol the only one i didn’t know existed was Leroy and stitch I’m guessing they gender swoped and rebooted I might watch it since I know there’s another series after the OG and tia… I salute 🫡 u sha wing ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ great video
I loved Relic Hunter, it was the first time ever that an Asian woman starred in a Television series. Tia brought a lot to that show and was a very positive role model for a lot of women of color.
![[UNCUT] The Loyal Pin ปิ่นภักดิ์ EP.6 (2/4)](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/GgeGQOP10RQ/mqdefault.jpg)
Tia in True Lies is the absolute peak of how beautiful a woman is capable of being...in my opinion, of course.
Agreed
She killed it.
Word. 100% agree!
Agree dream woman
It’s weird cuz back in my day, my peers couldn’t stand her. My friends and brother said she’s stupid as a rocker in Wayne’s world that screamed annoyingly
She's genuinely great in Relic Hunter and High School High. Very good comedic timing. Also fuck that dude that stole all her money.
Her story is really inspirational when you think about it. She was just a regular girl with dreams of being a professional singer, was randomly discovered in a market, got to work on some of the biggest and most popular movies and tv shows of all time, did a few stinkers, became a prolific voice actor, appeared on some more popular shows, does movies when she seems to feel like it, made a couple of albums, went platinum, and ultimately won a Grammy… and all this with little to no controversy at any point👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Only in America 😊
No lie, TC was one of my fave crushes in the late 80s, 90s. 💯🤩😍☺️
I love this lady. She's a fantastic actress and singer. She also seems like one of the few stars that are genuinely pleasant.
I was in love with this woman as a kid after watching Wayne's World.
As a Canadian who grew up in Toronto,
"Relic Hunter" (where most of it was filmed)
is something I still watch to this day a few times of year.
It's well written, and has a ton of banter...
Something I never get tired of.
I only wish they did more than 3 seasons!
That show started coming on H&J in America I stunned upon it and recorded episodes
Netflix should think about rebooting I know there's a tomb raider reebot coming so maybe if it's successful they'll think about relic Hunter maybe
I watched it from Japan. Was shocked when Lindy Booth was replaced
Niles was the only crush i had as a kid (also Tuxedo Mask). 🤣
It was syndicated here in Louisiana by my local station WGNO. This was the heyday of syndicated shows like Xena and Highlander: The Series,
I met tia in 2013 in Australia, she was so down to earth and friendly
Tia is Gorgeous ❤💯😘
Seeing her in Married with Children, True lies ... my teenage crush.
She's my high school buddy's aunt. Beauty runs in the family because his mom was gorgeous!

Her voice acting in the great Lio and Stitch was sublimely done. ❤️
She's Chinese/Filipino descent and her real name is Althea Rae Duhinio Janairo... not hard to pronounce lol. She is most certainly not Hawaiian ancestry, just born there. :)
No it’s not hard to pronounce. Or maybe it’s easy because I speak Spanish and we can sound out every vowel 😃
Not Hawaiian, just born there? So folks born in the US aren't Americans then, they were just born here? Hmmm so the native Americans Indians are then the only true Americans then?

Exactly
@@orlandomolina7192 possibly but i doubt thats the reason
I met her back in 2013, and got her autograph, and a hug from her. :)
Man she was one of me first crushes ! What a babe ! What a star she was !
Excellent one of the few WTFH stories without so much drama and low points, just a successful beautiful person!!
She was in my favorite 80s/90s show for an episode as well called Tour of Duty as well as a Vietnamese refugee being escorted by the ToD crew. She spoke no English, but she certainly stood out and was important to the episodes plot line.
OMG I was just typing that I saw that episode. It’s a great episode of quantum Leap and she played the Vietnamese girl that was leading them into a trap. Oh my God I love that you know that my TH-cam friend lol.
I remember watching that episode too and before that on The A-Team and MacGyver.
ya still remember she is like almost in every movies or tv series very popular in the 90s,
Hollow Point with her, Thomas Ian Griffith and Donald Sutherland is a movie I watched constantly in the nineties. She matched Griffith's crazy perfectly in that movie. Amazing chemistry between the three main cast members. The plot is not even important because of how great they play off of each other.
I remember watching that movie on HBO a couple of times.
I never missed an episode of Relic Hunter. Loved it!
One of my absolute favorite women to watch. So much beauty and talent in one person.
She's on my top 10 teen crushes I had growing up in the 90's! 😍
She regularly appears in these IT security training videos we have to do at work.
Where do you work?
In tech. You're probably imagining those are in house produced videos. They are not. Everything is a service these days. She's in the Ninjio videos. Another old known face that regularly appears is the bad guy from Goonies, Robert Davi
@@makanimike cool...I'm gonna watch a few now, thanks. I'm quite bored, you see
Relic Hunter was a great conaolotion for her. A rare beauty with acting chops who was underlooked
Met Tia, she is awesome!
I loved her in Relic Hunter. That was female Indiana Jones done well.
Oh my Tia Carrera was my ultimate pin up - absolute gorgeous. I loved the 90s!
Damn, was Relic Hunter only three seasons long, feels like there was so much more.
That's because there were 66 episodes.
She's incredibly attractive. In the early 90's there was no hotter woman on the silver screen.
I remember seeing her for the first time on Married with Children. "The neewww Alantra!"
Yeah, and Kelly smacked her!
Her best film is Showdown in Little Tokyo.
She would’ve been a perfect Psylocke in the 90s.
She also would’ve made a perfect live action Pocahontas back then
If creators of mortal kombat make another film I'd think she'd make an amazing Sindel
She looked absolutely gorgeous in True Lies!
Add to that in 2001-2003 she was the Martian Queen in the animated series “Duck Dodgers”. In ‘Talent A Go-go’ she belts out the (imo) most sultry version of “Blues in the Night”!
What a beautiful woman she was!
…and still is.
@@rawfood4life Yes, definitely
Say whatever you want about "direct to video" fare, most of her 90s films rocked hard. I love The Immortals, Hollow Point, Top Of The World and Scarred City. Great action flicks on a budget.
Sounds like she’s has a steady career good for her
Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man is one of my favorite movies. I forgot she was in that movie.
I always liked her acting. She was great to watch in pretty much anything she was in.
She was-GREAT-in True Lies and so-GORGEOUS-back then. She was also my girl crush too.
The whole "It all began in a supermarket which led to Aloha Summer" narrative never makes any sense, because not only did she begin on TV but she continued to thrive there. In the miniseries Noble House she got to play a character named Venus -- what a fit.
I met Tia Carrere in 2017. She was super nice!!
I love high school high, the scene where he puts the thing on his steering wheel and turns around and the car is gone. LOVE IT ! haha. I really liked her in all the movies ive seen her in. Wish she would be involved with more movies now. Seems odd that she fell into the straight to video thang. :-(
Relic Hunter is really fun, love that show
This “narrator” really could have dial down his sarcasm and condescension about her during this video not to mention the deliberately, mispronouncing Hawaiian words really does smack as racism
I think he mispronounces her name too. It's always been Tia Carrere to me, not Tia Carrera.
I do enjoy this particular joBlo series, but the narrator is mostly atrocious. I've grown numb to his sense of "humour" thankfully.
@@omegamac10odd as it sounds, the e on the end is pronounced with an A. I'll have to go back and check out David Letterman and Jay Leno clips but... I'm pretty sure.
@@RealHomeRecording never heard it like that ever. I don't think she even says that
@@omegamac10 I just looked up Tia carrere interview. The very first result here on TH-cam is adult swim and they pronounce her name with an A.
Hollow Point is totally underrated. It's way better than it has any right to be as a cheesy B-movie.
That is a pretty good movie.
Big Tia fan here... thanks to her, I had a 'type' i was into since a young age. I rewatched most of Relic Hunter recently, it kinda holds up!
Me too
You neglected to mention her appearance in the 1987 Canadian film "Zombie Nightmare," which had the distinction of receiving the Mystery Science Theater 3000 treatment. Original Batman Adam West was also in this film.
I was looking for this comment!
Absolutely loved Relic Hunter, she looked amazing
I HAD SUCH A CRUSH, ON THIS VERY BEAUTIFUL, WOMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She's really one of my childhood crushes : I have used a huge Crush on Her - Tia Carrere 🥰❤️😘😍😍
Guess you didnt really do a good enough research, Shes FULL Filipino actually (both her parents), thats why she did Easter Sunday with comedian Jokoy as she got to play a character of her ethnicity, she mentioned it in the interviews when the movie came out, Shes also supported Filipino American causes like getting WW2 FilipinoAmerican vets their benefits in the early 2000s as alot of them were passing away.
STFU. She was born in Hawaii and makes Hawaiian music.
I remember her in a Quantum Leap episode. She was a Vietnamese woman.
Relic Hunter!!!!! 😍
May we all grow into old age with good health and grace.
I had the biggest crush on her when she was in Wayne’s World.
I loved Wayne’s world specifically because she was in it and was such an icon to me. ❤😊

Beautiful woman, he role in True Lies is my favorite role of hers
I was on my kind of watching. Did he mention Relic Hunter? That was her best acting gig.
Wow.... She really has had a great career overall.
Her name isn't Hawaiian. It is very Filipino. :) Althea Rae Duinio Janairo. Anyway, nice video of a movie icon, JoBlo.
Thank you! I wanted to know more about the beauty actress and you nailed it!
She was probably my first celebrity crush.😍😍😍
At first I thought that she is east asian and some kind of martial artist. I didn’t even knew she was from Hawaii until I googled her biography.😁😁😇😇😇
You didn't....mention.....Showdown.....in Little Tokyo!!!!? 😮
Yes he did, with Dolph Lundgren and Brandon Lee
Anyone else remember The Daedalus Encounter?
I was about to say this
She was great in the waynes world movies and high school high😊
She is my #1 favorite female of all time!
I expected a complicated name, but her birth name is just "Althea Rae Duhinio Janairo".

good lord she's a worker, that is a lot of stuff she was in
One of my favorites. Maybe as a publicity stunt - a friend in LA said when things were slow she put an add in the paper offering dinner companionship.
You forgot to mention her 90's venture into early FMV PC gaming, with The Daedalus Encounter! Also, having watched this and Julia Stiles' video back to back, it's amazing how they kind of look alike, same smile and glinty eyes.

Hottest actress for the last 30 years easily, And still is 👌🏻

You missed her in curb your enthusiasm. Great work
I loved high school high back in the day lol
She'd kick ass in Star Trek IMO

Her original name is in no way Hawaiian, did you do any research or just guess? Althea Rae Duhinio Janairo is of Filipino and Chinese descent.
She was in Daedalus Encounter game. Right on the box.
I loved Relic Hunter, it was the first time ever that an Asian woman starred in a Television series. Tia brought a lot to that show and was a very positive role model for a lot of women of color.
When she was in Relic Hunter she was so hot. It was such a good show
Love her in every way ❤ !!!!!!
Showdown in Little Tokyo… All I need to say. “I could hear you coming”
My brother told me he met her in Montréal when she had a table at Comicon and she was apparently friendly and nice.
She’s beautiful and talented. I think she should have been cast in a good tv drama.
She was fantastic actor and she was so beautiful a they time
Beautiful Lady now and then ❤❤❤
Tia is the Niccole Sherzinger or her time
Love her singing!!!!
Tia Carrere is still hot. I've had a crush on her since Wayne's World. The.Relic Hunter was great.
A couple years ago I saw her in a direct to video film titled "Palm Swings." She had a secondary acting role, playing the host at a swingers party.
