    Great interview. Ronny is an educated thoughtful witty fellow. Personally I find it insulting that movie makers hadn’t progressed with the white lead thing before Crazy Rich Asians. Insane! Let’s hope we are on a roll now.

      No offense but people call the united states of America "America" because it's the only country with America in its name. No other country in North, South, or Central America uses the word America in the Name of The Country. So yes, it is in fact fair to shorten its name to America.

    I have not seen an interview in such a professional and well thought of manner. This interview was not looking for a cheap joke at all. You can tell he really respects comics and wants to see the inner thoughts of a professional comic. Comics are now becoming more important then ever because they are able to swing the way people think. Dave chappelle did a bit about female abortions and i think he changed the whole game on abortion and its being viewed. "if you can kill a baby i can atless abandon it".
    I hope this guy interviews more great comics because i like hearing this part of a comedy mind. Comics are like rappers. underrated for being smart. special brains.

    Ronny is great. Thanks for the interview. Re Singapore and the movie, as entertaining as it is, Singapore is nothing like that. The people of Singapore are so nice and friendly and there is no snobbery. Bear in mind they have only become rich in the last 20 years. There is virtually no old money there, and the old money that does exist is not haughty. It may become that way but it isn’t now.
