I love Nigel's point about how he uses an asian accent because it's funnier but his content is very pro-Asian and lifts Asian culture up. Whereas there may be a few (not all of course) asian comedians who use a western accent but their jokes actually are painting Asian culture as embarrassing. A very astute observation.
Yes, I actually noticed that as a fan of Uncle Roger. As a white American, I try to be very sensitive to people from other cultures, and I don't like jokes that put people down or promote negative stereotypes. Nigel clearly takes pride in who he is and does not make a mockery of Asian people in order to make white people laugh or feel comfortable. It's very refreshing to see! And I feel as though I'm being educated as well.
Omg, this is such an epic crossover collab I never knew how much I needed until I got the notification! It's epically surreal to see two of my favorite TH-camrs together 😍
I think on the other perspective, us Malaysia had been “Asian-ise” western food for years! In the 90s we don’t see authentic Italian French cuisine but now these kind of restaurants are every where. I think westernise Asian food or asian-ise western food serve like an introduction of a culture but eventually people wants to try the real thing and learn deeper into each other.
So accurate. I went to Asia a few times and Spanish food is so adapted there. It's nothing like the real thing in some restaurants. But some people make it look like only western countries adapt other countries food. It's false. Glad that more people around the world can try the real food from different countries.
Stephen was so relaxed here - I know it wasn't easy for Asian Boss last year. So thrilled that you recognise the real Uncle Roger here. You really gave Nigel face when he dropped so many plugs throughout the interview, though. When Asian Boss does make it to Malaysia for the street interviews, do come for the food, too. Cheers.
You can tell Nigel is quite perceptive, astute and observant, which is key for a comic. Love this interview, Stephen! That was such an open, deep and interesting interview! Your questions and digging into the conversation were great. Thank you!
Uncle Roger does something that I will always respect him for: Bringing down chefs a peg and making people realize that chefs don't belong on a pedestal. Just because a celebrity chef makes fried rice for example, doesn't mean that it will always taste great or even be authentic enough to be called 'Asian' cuisine.
He should point out too how they fvck up western food in Asian countries though. He makes it look like only western countries fvck up other’s cuisines. For god’s sake, in the UK what they sell many times as Spanish food is not authentic at all.
I especially love the parts where he talks about life, the risks he takes in his life's trajectory and career, and the real challenges, sacrifices, & inconveniences that come with this line of work. I admire those things about him.
yeah, there are tons of content from Malaysia too. -Jho Low and Najib 1MDB issue -bypassing election and Parliment to appoint two terms of different prime minister within 2-3 years times -Lynas disposing radiiactive waste in Malaysia issur -consistent Flood issue -ridiculous highway toll contracts issue -MACC's own Commisionner malpractice and cover up by government issue. -Malaysia Healthcare system exploiting contract doctors issue. and so much more...topics Asian Boss could have explore here in Malaysia.
Amazing interview! Perhaps one day you guys can interview the Korean Englishman guys. Since covid hit, they have been introducing British people to Korean food and capturing their reactions, it's wonderful!
True. Josh & Ollie are doing a fantastic job of bridging Korean and English food and culture. I follow both 'Korean Englishman' and 'Jolly' Please do a feature with them too
As a Londoner I can confirm that Korean food has exploded in popularity over the past few years. We’ve always had Koreatown in New Malden but nowadays there are Korean restaurants in nearly every single neighbourhood and a very high standard. Shoutout to Park’s Kitchen in Ealing Broadway W5
Oh you don't say, how could you not know he was putting it on........ Captain obvious over here. You're asian and you still couldn't pick between the two. Whats wrong with you.
Honestly I never imagined Asian Boss interviewing Uncle Roger, but it honestly was incredible. Just hearing his journey and how hard he works is inspiring let alone his views on Asian representation, dealing with hate and all the other topics. Great job!
People worldwide butcher Italian food all the time, so it was very relatable when Uncle Roger roasts people who butchers asian food haha. This was an amazing cross over!
I thought he must have done alot of research on all the dishes he reviewed since he seemed so knowledgeable about every dish and they are all from different cuisines. Turns out he does take research seriously!
The only british chef I respect is Gordon Ramsay since the guy really travel multiple country in Asia and South east Asia to learn from their culinary techniques, I can't get thr fact at he really drink snake heart wine in vietnam, the thing still beating
Steven, if you or your team are in M'sia, I will be honoured to meet up with you all. Given the nature of diversity in M'sia, you may want to do a series on what we love and what we hate bout each other but how we still go about loving each other regardless of the politics of the day in M'sia
So relieved to hear that Stephen had fully recovered from covid. Looking forward for him and his team to cover Malaysia. I ❤ Asian Boss, particularly its coverage on covid in Korea when covid first struck us a few years ago. Infornative and concise, straight to the point.
This podcast was so great!! Loved the conversation between Stephen & Nigel!! It was so genuine!! The stuff he spoke about pro-asian culture through humour is definitely what made him so successful and loved by so many
Thank you so much for this video! My husband and I watch Uncle Roger all the time and I love seeing the man behind the character. It's so fascinating, learning more about Nigel and his childhood in Malaysia. And as always, Steve did a wonderful job interviewing!
Steven, thanks for the fun interview with Nigel. Knowing you are an introvert, mind doing a video about your COVID experience how you dealt with it and heal, despite having been vaccinated?
Asian Boss, think you can do a series of vids in M'sia. Certain area in Malaysia now kinda like Little Tokyo, Little Beijing and Mini Seoul. Japanese/Korean/China convenience stores and restaurants literally everywhere. You have plenty of Japanese, Korean, Mainlander and HK'er staying in Malaysia right now. You can mine some vids on why they prefer to live in Malaysia as oppose to other more well known countries. Now Malaysia has open border status as long as you are vaccinated.
What a great interview Steven, love from Malaysia. Full support from Malaysia to Asian Boss eventhough there is no coverage bout us hehe 😆 All da best Nigel , have a great tour.
This was a great interview done to show the real side of pursuing your passion. I've heard more times from many, MANY people doing TH-cam full-time don't make the most of their money from this platform. It's from everything else that *COMES* from their TH-cam- whether it be sponsorships, merch, or whatever else. I agree with Nigel because I've heard from many comics either during their own shows or podcasts or interviews that their jokes *will* offend at least one person listening. It is part of the job. I forgot which comedian I was listening to or watching but they said that comedy is supposed to blur that line and joke about things that many people do not often talk about. Uncle Roger/Nigel has mentioned on David So's podcast that he was canceled a few times and he came back and grew from it. For Nigel, he took being "canceled" as an opportunity to learn and grow from it. And honestly, not many YTers in this day and age that got canceled really got canceled. If one truly is canceled and goes away for good, they f*cked up pretty bad for *everyone* to stop entertaining them. ----- There have been videos I've agreed with on this channel, *and* Uncle Roger's channel and there are videos that I don't agree with on this channel and his. I think it's normal. Just because you are a fan of a creator or Hollywood celebrity, you don't have to be a fan of everything that they have done. That's the same with politics, you don't have to agree with everything on one particular side. There are things on both sides that can be agreed upon by anyone and everyone. There's not a one-size-fits-all formula and many of us think that way nowaways. I love the work that Asian Boss brings forward. Yes, there are things people have said that piss me off and things others say that I simply love. Same with Uncle Roger skits that I love and others that I don't love so much.
I really like the sharing of struggles between Nigel and Steven. It feels real and really shitty when the internet turns on you. But one really gets stronger experiencing the storms. It really speaks to me. Thank you.
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVED the interview I've never imagined everything Nigel went through to get where he is right now! Thank you Asian Boss, as always, for the great content! And I'm glad you´ve recovered from Covid Stephen! 잘 지냈어요!
I am a black man from the USA, I reacted like Uncle Roger when he saw Hersha Patel fried rice video. I have had my rice cooker since college (Had Korean, Japanese and Chinese roommates in college many many years ago).
Nice interview. I have been following Nigel for quite some time now happy to see that his performance is being noticed world wide. Stephen ever since the war and covid and it's side effects things have been so serious at Asian Boss, it is a breath of fresh air to see you smiling. Stay safe and thank you for providing us with some exemplary interviews. Keep up the good work.
I'm sure this was recorded before the Oscars. Wonder what Nigel would comment about the whole Chris Rock Will Smith incident. On another note. I like how Steven always tries to really get to know the person he is interviewing in these long form interviews.
westerners don't have the joy to eat the nasi goreng from push cart/gerobak stalls. we asians always have the luxury of the ease to buy wok hey nasi goreng. Uncle Roger has opened the eyes of the westerners. asian restaurant would thrive because of this
Never imagine nigel would one day come out here on Asian boss. 😂😂😂 A fellow Malaysian... Idk man.. I have no idea why Malaysian isn't popular maybe because people hardly care about us. 😅😅.. People just hardly care locally.. Everyone just go about their own life just like that.
This was a great episode! Uncle Roger came along at the perfect time. With the pandemic, more people were cooking at home more often, so we were watching more cooking shows and videos. Some of them really sucked, and some just outright lied to people. So Uncle Roger's humor was just the right thing. The laughs got many of us through some rough years. So I am thankful.
You know what i think that would be nice to see on Asian Boss channel? The Brazillians japanese's immigrants who lives in Japan! I'm really curious about it because i've never seen a media or any kind of foreign press to talk about them, only brazillian press
@@jhsrt985 it's very curious because we have about 1.2 million japanese immigrants living in Brazil; and some of the second and third generation went back to japan to work on very labour and extreme conditions to have better life.
Love Asian Boss. Loved this interview. Great too Nigel clarify the 'Asian' reference in Britian. It is different from the US style. As the wife of a Japanese man, I can relate to the food references even as being part Jamaican and Indian lot a of places mess up the national food. Loved seeing Nigel on his recent UK tour. Can't wait to see him again. Keep it up. 👏👏👏
Loved this interview! I couldn’t believe it was happening! Thank you Asian Boss 🧡 I haven’t finished the video yet but I want to say the Uncle Roger approve system sounds like a perfect idea. Hahaha the Polo Award idea is so hilarious! 😂🟠I wish Nigel had performances in China 🇨🇳, it would be amazing.
When I think of Malaysia: 1) Michelle Yeoh (duh) 2) Petronas Towers (as a 90s kid, it used to be the world's tallest tower for some time) 3) "Malaysia Truly Asia" jingle rings in my head 4 to 10) Uhh... They're all food. Rendang, char kway teow, satay, etc.
Love Asian Boss; love Uncle Roger. When Nigel said a comedian needs to be controversial I was reminded of Jeff Dunham and Achmed on his performance in--ironically--Malaysia. Jeff was told by the Ministry of Culture that he was free to perform, but under no circumstances was he to bring Achmed on stage--and not to even mention his name. No controversy! To which he later replied that he was a comedian--he HAS to be controversial.
Did not expect to see Uncle Roger on Asian Boss lmao, from a North Korean spy interview to a man making fun of Gordon Ramsey. I guess both as dangerous
Just one thing to add, in my observation while travelling, I have noticed that maybe most chefs adjust the taste according to the country or locality it serves. Like for example, in the middle east, mostly Chinese food are also served in Indian restaurants. It taste sort of Indian style as there are loads of Indians there. But again, there are also authentic Chinese restaurants but not easy to find. Like in London, loads of Chinese restaurant but the taste and food presentation have been adjusted to Brits maybe? as they won't differentiate the taste too. In my humble opinion, For example, You can rarely find a non Chinese chef that can really cook proper authentic Chinese food. So as with other cuisines.
If the Chinese food you found taste like sweet and sour, or peppery beef，that is 'adjusted'. Because there are only few spots in China make sweet n sour fish/pork, it's even rare for the household dishes for the majorities
46:26 What a great point. Too add on that, cancel culture is ultimately about anger, contempt, and vitriol, which is so much more accessible to the general population, but to truly entertain people, to connect to them on a authentic level.. it takes time, effort, and hard work.. why do that when judging people without considering context or nuance is so much easier.
I could never get tired of Uncle Roger! I think Nigel is very clever and funny. And it was brilliant to think of using cooking videos as the fodder for the humor. As for the accent, I actually think the accent mitigates the "insult factor" of the humor. For example, saying "Use the right amount, not the white amount," would be offensive if said without the accent. It would be taken more literally rather than comically.
I heard of this guy but haven’t checked his channel yet. He’s funnier than I thought he’d be. To be honest, most comedians aren’t particularly funny. To be a comedian who’s actually funny makes you stand out.
I just hope someday all of us Asians will go hand-in-hand and tell the world that THIS IS US ASIANS AND THIS IS OUR CULTURE. WE MAY HAVE DIFFERENCES IN SOME WAYS BUT WE ALL HAVE SIMILARITIES TOO.
You make me laugh so much. Good ptsd treatment, seriously, am a veteran. Also the first time I saw you were the rice cooking videos. You taught me how to make rice like an Asian! I love rice. Hugs.
Thank you for having me! Had a great time on the pod 🧡

2) Petronas Towers (as a 90s kid, it used to be the world's tallest tower for some time)
3) "Malaysia Truly Asia" jingle rings in my head
4 to 10) Uhh... They're all food. Rendang, char kway teow, satay, etc.
try "wonderful indonesia"
@@alfan0079 unfortunately we still don't have Michelle Yeoh equivalent, probably Joe Taslim or Iko Uwais are closer thing.
Amaaaazing collab! You guys never disappoint
That collab came of nowhere and I love it!
Asian Boss plans some of the most lit collabs. Keep up the great work.
Love Asian Boss; love Uncle Roger. When Nigel said a comedian needs to be controversial I was reminded of Jeff Dunham and Achmed on his performance in--ironically--Malaysia. Jeff was told by the Ministry of Culture that he was free to perform, but under no circumstances was he to bring Achmed on stage--and not to even mention his name. No controversy! To which he later replied that he was a comedian--he HAS to be controversial.
Glad you're better Stephen!!!!
I like how Nigel feels at ease and falls to his casual accent and pace of speech.
woah, i didn't expect uncle roger to be on asian boss lol. also it feels different to hear him speak in a different accent.
really enjoy watching this, and feel inspired, thanks guys!
Did not expect to see Uncle Roger on Asian Boss lmao, from a North Korean spy interview to a man making fun of Gordon Ramsey. I guess both as dangerous
He makes fun of Jamie Oliver. He loves Gordon Ramsay.
@@lenaskyfish4883 he makes fun of them both. You didn't see the EP where Gordon fkd up? 😂
What a morning! My best two.
Just one thing to add, in my observation while travelling, I have noticed that maybe most chefs adjust the taste according to the country or locality it serves. Like for example, in the middle east, mostly Chinese food are also served in Indian restaurants. It taste sort of Indian style as there are loads of Indians there. But again, there are also authentic Chinese restaurants but not easy to find. Like in London, loads of Chinese restaurant but the taste and food presentation have been adjusted to Brits maybe? as they won't differentiate the taste too. In my humble opinion, For example, You can rarely find a non Chinese chef that can really cook proper authentic Chinese food. So as with other cuisines.
If the Chinese food you found taste like sweet and sour, or peppery beef，that is 'adjusted'. Because there are only few spots in China make sweet n sour fish/pork, it's even rare for the household dishes for the majorities
So cool to have these 2 channels crossover ! 2 of the most definitive Asian cutlrure boosters of TH-cam.
Asia Powa! for the win !!!
What a great collab !
Oh wow!! So glad you're okay! 😦
I love Uncle Roger 😂😂😂 I thoroughly cry laughing watching his videos!
I like Mr.Nigel personality and his insight, at least from what i saw on this wideo.. keep up your work. 👍
Never been dreaming i click video very fast in my life seeing uncle roger in asian boss..
Two of my favorite youtubers!!!
Love seeing you again Steve 💕💕💕
Thank you!! From an Uncle Roger niece🧡
OMG... emotional damage!! 🤣 Love the moment of silence.💞
46:26 What a great point. Too add on that, cancel culture is ultimately about anger, contempt, and vitriol, which is so much more accessible to the general population, but to truly entertain people, to connect to them on a authentic level.. it takes time, effort, and hard work.. why do that when judging people without considering context or nuance is so much easier.
I’m Thai and I like both countries Malaysia and Korea
TQ A. Boss Stephen for doing this ((surprise!)) interview with Uncle Roger, a.k.a Nigel Ng 😉😅
Also glad you've recovered from Covid.🙏
Amazing interview! Kudos to both!
I could never get tired of Uncle Roger! I think Nigel is very clever and funny. And it was brilliant to think of using cooking videos as the fodder for the humor.
As for the accent, I actually think the accent mitigates the "insult factor" of the humor. For example, saying "Use the right amount, not the white amount," would be offensive if said without the accent. It would be taken more literally rather than comically.
Haiyaa, I'm eating my fried rice while binge watching uncle Roger's videos. And, I nearly spat my rice onto the ceiling few times. Haiyaa!
Amazing crossover. Really respect this guy!
I heard of this guy but haven’t checked his channel yet. He’s funnier than I thought he’d be. To be honest, most comedians aren’t particularly funny. To be a comedian who’s actually funny makes you stand out.
Really enjoy listening to Stephen and Nigel ^^
Love Uncle Roger! I've learned so much!! 💓
I just hope someday all of us Asians will go hand-in-hand and tell the world that THIS IS US ASIANS AND THIS IS OUR CULTURE. WE MAY HAVE DIFFERENCES IN SOME WAYS BUT WE ALL HAVE SIMILARITIES TOO.
as we indonesian say, UNITY IN DIVERSITY
Asian Boss: thanks for this interview and all that you do!
You make me laugh so much. Good ptsd treatment, seriously, am a veteran. Also the first time I saw you were the rice cooking videos. You taught me how to make rice like an Asian! I love rice. Hugs.
Great to watch you guys! Asian boss doing what he does best.
