Future Asian & Pacific History Month: Ronny Chieng Sets the Record Straight
Fuse is celebrating Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month by looking at a variety of rising forces who are creating Future Asian and Pacific History before our eyes. Today we're tipping our hats to rising international comedy star Ronny Chieng, the Daily Show senior correspondent whose knack for refreshing bluntness and fight for Asian American visibility have gained crucial media attention.
Born in Malaysia to Chinese parents and raised in New Hampshire and Singapore, Chieng later studied finance and law in Melbourne, Australia. There, he honed his stand-up craft through local events and soon picked up enough momentum to land his coveted gig at Comedy Central. Throughout his career, Chieng's bits have extensively explored Asian stereotypes and the narrative of being Asian both in Australia and America.
