Comedian Jenny Yang On Comedy, AAPI Representation & Hollywood ǀ The Taipei Tonight Show
Comedian Jenny Yang joins Dennis on the couch to chat about her stand-up comedy career, Hollywood, her identity as an Asian American and much more. Settle in for a fun yet insightful discussion on this episode of The Taipei Tonight Show.
Jenny chats about her experience on the Netflix show “The Brothers Sun,” the joy of acting with an all-Asian cast and that famous scene with Michelle Yeoh. Dennis and Jenny also talk about her career trajectory, from moving to L.A. as a child to becoming a stand-up comedian, and how her family views this career path. Jenny shares why she decided to become a stand-up comedian, and how her background in politics and as an immigrant informs her comedy. The two bond over the Asian-American immigrant experience, her comedy self-care show “Self Help Me,” and Jenny’s sold-out headline show in Taipei. In a fun game, Dennis challenges Jenny to some quickfire questions about performing, what goes on behind the scenes, how she relaxes and more.
So settle in, get cozy and enjoy getting to know this accomplished Taiwanese comedy queen.
