I th. I th. I th. I thi thi. I'm th. I'm th. I'm to to th. th. th. th. th. I was th. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was th. I was th. th. I was th. I was th. I was th. I was th.

I was doing comedy. And I remember you were always super cool in me when I first moved to America
and you had me on your show in San Francisco.
That's why I first met you.
I mean, I thought we were cool too, and then I came to this show
and realized you hired a different gay Asian person to be a correspondent.
Who the fuck is Troy Wada?
Okay? Someone younger and prettier than me. That, uh, believe it or not, I have no say on the hiring.
Oh, interesting, interesting. I'm learning, I'm learning, I'm learning.
No, it was, I remember meeting you in San Francisco too when you did my show.
And you, um, I was so intimidated because you have this like, rotted personality,
and you ended up being the nicest person on this, and you were always so welcoming, and like the stuff I was tha tha tha tha thi stuff thi stuff thi stuff thi stuff thi stuff thi stuff thi stuff thi stuff thi stuff thi thi thi thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. to to to to to to to too, like, to to to to, like, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, th. th. thi. I I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I'm, thin, thin, thin, too. I'm, thin, too. I'm, too. I'm, so welcoming. And like the stuff I was talking about in that clip,
you gave me like actual good advice.
What did I tell you?
You were like, be funny.
So, really, yeah.
Wait, I told you that?
Yeah, yeah.
That's so condescending from you said it.
You said it pre the set, it would have been insulting. But, yeah. Oh, what was the context of that?
I don't know.
We were just shooting the shit about stand-up and stuff like that.
Well, I mean, this documentary, well, that's the thing, you know, comics, we love talking
about comedy.
We talk about all day. And in this documentary, the documentary, the, too, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, is, is, is, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, is, is, is, is, is, I...a, I.a, I.a, I.a, I.a, I.a, the, I.a, the, the, the, the, the, the, I.a, the, the, the, I.a, the, I. the, I. And, I. And, gay, gay, comic. Global, queer comics.
And I will say I am like such a small part of that tapestry.
The documentary is so cool because it really shows you like people who should be household
names, who were actually trailblazing and breaking down barriers and stuff like that,
so I could go out on stage and talk about Dix and stuff and stuff like that without losing my career, you know, in fact, th th th th th th th th th th th th that that that that that that that that that, that, thi thi thi thi thi thi. And I thi. And I will thi. And I will thi. And I thi. And I will thi. thi. thi, I thi, I th. I the. And I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I thi. I thi. I thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the. the. the. the. theeee. theeeeeeee. thee. thee. the. the. the. I'm the. I'm the. I could go out on stage and talk about Dix and staff and stuff like that, without losing my career, you know?
In fact, I've made a pretty lucrative way out of it.
Yeah, so it's really-
So it's cool meeting, meeting your heroes, I guess,
when you are?
Absolutely, yeah.
We, part of the documentary is we did a huge show at the Hollywood Bowl. There were like 30 comics th, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thiii, there and it's great because I think
like especially when I was coming up there would always be like maybe one
queer comic on the lineup and that was it that would be like that's too much
as it is and so we rarely got to like hang out on the same show and so it
was really nice it was like a nice little like homecoming to just all
be together on the same show backstage on stage it was great yeah it was some oh yeah it was cool you know that's that's that's kind of how I
feel whenever I see you on the lineup and if I'm on the show as well I'm always
like oh yeah it's y'all you know it's always like we don't need to
explain there's a shorthand and you know and just for a record I mean that the comics were in that documentary that the the the the the the the the the the th you th you th you th you th you th so the th I th so th so the th. th. th. th. th. I th. I the. I the. the. the. the. the. I'm that that the. that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that's that's that's that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that th. the. the. that the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's the comics who are in that documentary, who are on that show. So the documentary is about this big show they did at the Greek theater in Los Angeles.
And some of those comics are my heroes too.
You know, Wanda Sykes was always super cool to me.
The Lily Tomlin, I have her vinyl that I bought.
I've been trying to get her in person and that was also like the Hannah Gatsby was in that Australia zone and
I think that was um who else was in the I mean we could go on all night.
Right. Oh Margaret Cho. Margaret Cho. The OG.
Oh G. Margaret Cho who like, like, I talk about the stuff that the try and like to tryl-I. the, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, th. I, the, th. I, th. I th. I was, th clip, like, I wanted to talk about the stuff that people wanted to keep behind the curtain, and she was doing that at a time when it was actually
risky to do that, you know?
And so, yeah, she really is the person who opened the door for me. Yeah, I feel like, like, comics, we always like, like to tip of the cap to the, I don't know, I, I, I, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, the, the, the, the, to, to, to, to, to, the.. to. to. the. about you, but I almost feel more beholden to them than than the audience
in some ways. Like I just want to, you know, right? No, it's so funny, like I could be
crushing in a room but like I'm paying attention to the people standing at
the back of the room who I'm like,. And I honestly, Ronnie, and this is not just me second year
on national TV, but you, you are that person for me.
Like, you are, no, no, you really are for a lot of us.
You are.
Like, no, no, no.
I mean this sincerely.
You made me sound like a piece of shit when you said,
I gave you advice.
That doesn't sound like, guys, I'm not going on to people's show and going like, hey, here's some advice from this comedy, genius.
It wasn't so much, it wasn't so much advice.
I think I was probably complaining and being like, oh, I'm always getting told like what
to say and what not to say.
And I think for you, your reaction to that as a comic was just like, it doesn't matter, you know, if you're gay, straight by, whatever it is, as the end of the day, if you're funny, you're funny.
That's why I still do stand up, because it's the closest thing to a meritocracy in our
industry.
Yeah, I think so.
Because like, with all the politics and everything of people saying, like, oh, I only got
here because of woke guys
Okay, that's not how it works like it's just like no matter how
Progressive you want to seem if the joke isn't funny then you're not laughing. Yeah, and that's why like stand-up feels so good. Yeah, yes, because Yes. And so, yeah, I agree. Totally agree. And for all its flaws, stand up is the meritocracy.
And you know, I think sometimes it's hard to explain comedy to people.
I mean, I quote you in a recent Esquire article, oh no, sorry, Hollywood Reporter article.
I read all your press.
I read all your press.
You said like, uh, you find it difficult in this documentary to talk about comedy
versus, you know, just doing it?
Well, no, because like, when you're in a doc and you're sitting behind the camera
and you're being interviewed like that, it's not comedy. But like, I think the biggest pepiv. And the thing is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, th.. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, the, the, to, the, the political spectrum do this. When a stand-up show turns into a TED Talk, I'm out. You know, like I do like where are the jokes? You know, like you can't just
come out and say an opinion and expect applause and sometimes you get it but
it's it's applause is not laughter. Yes, you can't be mission first you
always have to be thinking at the end of the day is it funny? Yes. Yes I think that is an applause is an applause. I an applause. I an applause. I an applause. I an applause. I an applause. I an applause. I an applause. I that that is an applause. I that is an applause. I that is an applause. I that is an applause. I was an applause. I was a that is an that is an that is an that is an that is an that is an that is not not not a that is not a that is a that is a that is a that is a that is a that is a that is not. I is not. I is not. I is not. I is not. I is not. I is not. I is not. I is not. I is. I is. I is. I is. I is. I is. I is. I is. I is. I is. I is a. I is a. I is a. I is a. I is a. I is a. I is a. I is a. I'm. I. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I'm. I'm. I think that is an applause. Yeah, no, I agree completely.
And, you know, and that's, I think that's also how I feel so much kinship with you, not
just the Asians on whatever, but like as comedians, you know, because sometimes we're both out
there and we're both trying to make it happen in weird bars and like in New York City.
And oftentimes, you know, I never really play this card a lot, but oftentimes on a lineup
and there's no other Asians on that lineup, you know, it doesn't, you just got to figure it up.
Because I think there's this weird assumption that because we tick some of the same demographic
check boxes that all of our material will be the same.
Yeah. But it's like, you and I will never talk about the same line. We cannot be different. We can the same. We the same. We can the same. We can't be the same. It the same. It the same. It the same. It is the same. It's the same. It's the same. It's the same. It's the same. It's not, you the same. It's not, you can not, you can't, you can't, you can't, you the same, you can't, you can't, you can't, you can, you th. It's, you th. It's, you thi. It's, you th. It's, you th. It's, you th. It's, you, you, you, you, you th. It's, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you the same, you the same, you the same, you the same, you the same, you the same, you know, you know, the the the the thi. It's not, thi. It's not, the thi. It's thi. It's the the the the thi. It's the thi. As Asian, as men, as like any of it.
We just, we're not, we're not living the same lines.
Top bottom, every, just different, just totally different.
But anyway, Joe, hey, you're my brother in many ways and one.
Thank you for being so cool.
Me when I first came to America, you're killing it right now.
I love everything you do.

Thank you.
The people love you.

You know, I'm a little jealous of you right now.
I want to rob you up that seat right now.
What me?
You are in the seat.
I know how it feels and I miss me a, you know, humble daily show host.
Who has been watching your family since I was a kid in Malaysia.
Thank you.
We used in Malaysia? Yeah.
Somebody owed some money.
They said we is only a local.
Yeah, you know, I always have to concentrate really hard to say Wayans because in Malay,
Wyann means older brother?
No, it means Nepal baby.
No, it means, no, it means, no, it means, no, it means, performance.
Performance.
I like Neppobabab.
So I go, weigh-ins, weigh-ins. So I go, weigh-ins, it's, not, not because, not, not because, not because, not, not, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, to, to, to, to, to, to, the, because, because, to, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, to, to, to, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to, go weigh-ins, weigh-ins, way-ins,
not because it's just a language.
That's why you need to have, you know, friends of every culture.
Yeah.
Because you never know what your name means in a different language.
No, it's true.
I went to Bali and I found out that and Wayne, it was all over the place. And I was just like, I don't to know to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to tho tho tho tho the the their to to to their name their name their name their their their their their their their their to go. I to go. I went to go. I went to go. I went to go go go. I went to go go go. I went to go go. I went to go. I went to go. I went to go. I went the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the tho. I was to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the to to to the to the the tho. Way in. And I was just like, I don't know how my name came about,
but Wayen means older brother and
Indonesia.
In Indonesia.
All right.
So, and then my grandma, I think she got high.
And our last name was Wayne, W.A.N.
I think she smoked some weed, it was like,
I like Wayans better. Yeah, but speaking on family,
but this new special I watched, it's super funny.
Thank you.
Very touching, very, very emotional.
Yeah.
Some would say, I don't know if you, I don't want to spoil anything,
but the opening to it already kind of gets you win.
Because I don't know if how much I can, I don't want to it already kind of gets you win because I don't know if how much I can I don't want to you can tell you it's on Amazon though to watch it right now it's on no it's on it's on it's about it's called good grief it's, I should clarify, it's super funny, but you talk about you dealing
with the death of a lot of people.
And what really kind of drew me in right from the first second was the opening sequence, you
kind of play these voicemails, your parents.
And me walking down the street and I'm walking through all the places that I grew up around New York and where they grew up in Harlem and
You know all because I it was I want the audience to kind of know
Get an introduction and an investment into the people into the voices of my mom and my dad and what kind of what I
I experienced with them so it's not just like I wonder how they were you get a little slice of it. Right, and did you, were you worried
that that'd be too much of a bummer?
No, then I knew I had to follow myself.
Then you know, you gotta be really funny.
So that I like the added pressure,
you know what I mean?
It'd be sad if I couldn't overcome it.
Like, comedy, the deck against yourself with the voice mail from the... He should have stopped at the beginning. That's all. No, it was very touching because I'm not sure if it's clear but the, you know,
your parents passed away. You know, you play the voicemail and I think people who have had
parents passed away, they, as soon as you play it, you know, it's all, man, like it really, it really,
it really just really gets you in the mood mood mood mood mood mood mood mood mood mood mood mood mood mood mood mood mood mood mood mood moods for the moods for the moods for the moods for the moods for the moods for the mood you in the mood for laughing at comedy.
Dead parents void last words to your son and they're all touching.
I'm like, I'm already there like, oh my god, this is the funniest thing I've ever seen in my life.
I was just like, please.
But it's true, that's when you know it's funny.
When you could take something that's not supposed to be something funny, something that is painful, something tha supposed at our news, look with the Daily Shows every day.
You take something that is tragic, which is our politics and you go completely funny.
It was funny about it.
That's very, yeah, that's a very noble pursuit.
And yeah, because I'm an aspiring comic myself and I just wondered, like when you do comedy specials, you know, you've been in this industry for so long now, you know, you've seen so many,
you know, you've got decades, if not centuries on me in life, and, you know,
and you're just so old, even though you don't look at it.
But you've seen so many, you know, you've seen streaming services, you've seen cable
TV, you've seen specials. You've seen you, you've seen the the the their th you've seen their th you've seen th you've seen th you've seen th, you've seen th, you've seen th, you've seen their th, you've seen th, you've seen th. You've seen the, you've seen think, you've seen think, you've seen thin, you've seen the, you've seen the. You've been the. You've been thathea, you've thathea, you've been thathea, you've been thathea, you've been th. You've been th. You've been th. You've th. You've th, you've th, you've th, you've th, you've been th. You've been th. You've seen, you've seen, you've seen, you've seen thin, you've seen, you've seen that, you've seen thatheen, you've seen thathe canned thatheaugh, you've seen thathea, you've seen thathea, you've seen thatheaugh, you've seen that, you've seen that, you've seen that, you've seen streaming services, you've seen cable TV, you've seen specials.
You've seen cell phones, you've seen when they had to do the shadow, you're young
bitch, I'm so tired of you young bitches.
All you got his ears on me, that's all.
But like, you've seen so many specials, and I guess like, my question is
like when you, if a young comic special, is thi? Is that something you would youtell them what not to do with a comedy special?
You know, how...
Don't, A, don't rush. B, wait until you have like enough time under your belt that you understand your point of view.
It's only special, I think, when you start digging into pain. And it's okay to drop one or two,
but then three, four, five, and six and you start, as you go down on the road, the road, the road, the road, the road, the road, the road, the their, their or two, but then three, four, five, and six, and as you go down the road, I think it's more important not
to, because comedians want to talk about the world,
they want to talk about sports, they want to talk about pop culture,
and want to talk about politics.
I think the best comedians talk about themselves, and talk about their pain, and they, and they, and they, and they, and they, and they, and they, and they, and they, and they, and they, and they, and their, and their, and their, and their, and their, and their, and their, and their, and their, and their, and their, and their, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, and their, and their, and their, and their, and their, and their, and their, and their, and their........... And, and, because, because, because, and, because, because, because, and, because, because, because, and, because, their... And, their. And, their. And, their. And, they.com. they.com, they.com, they.com, they.com, they.com, they. they. their, because, and last longer than anything that is in pop culture
in the news.
Sure.
Yeah.
So, yeah.
No, that's, that's wise words.
It's almost like you, you get to a place of comedy, you get so good at comedy, you can
talk about pain now instead of just trying to.
Because it's more therapy, right?
It's deeper than just a bunch of jokes.
It's easy to tell jokes for like 60 minutes, but it's hard to have a 60-minute therapy session
that has an elixir for the audience to come away with and go, wow, that really helped
my life. It's one thing to change their mood, that's what we're they's they's they's they's they's tho, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, if their, if their, if tho, but, thi, thi, thi, but thi, but thi, but thi, but thi, but thi, but thi, but thi, thi, thi, but thi, but thi. thi. It's thi.. It's thi. It's thi. It's thi, but thi, but thi, but thi, but thi, but, but, but thi. It's thi, but, but, but thi, but, but thi, but thi, but thi, thi, thi, thi... It's therapy sessions like I did. Then you did something.
All right.
And I mean, in your special, you kind of joke about celebrities.
And we, you know, I also joke about celebrities,
but I think the difference between you and me is that you're famous enough to actually know these people.
So when you kind of basically, I don't want to butcher the joke, but when
you talk about Shaq and you're shouldn't even Shaq, you've got to go to this guy's birthday
party afterwards. I may skip that. But here, I only talk about people that either I know
I could be like Kevin Hart or...
That's the next special.
The fire...
Cold hour on Kevin.
Yeah, him or people that I know can't catch me.
Shack too big.
His knees is bad. He could barely catch Charles Barkley.
He don't want none of this.
Okay, I'm staying out this clip.
This is...
And, you know, like I was saying earlier that I've been watching your family kind of on TV in Malaysia
For so long now, he's always such an entertainment family
And one of my good friends Roywood Jr. He speaks very highly of you and he always said yeah, and your family is so sprawling and
There's a lot of people in entertainment and Roy would tell me like you don't understand how the
Wayans roll they don't they don't they don't they don't they don't they don't they don't they don't they don't they don't they don't they don't they don't they don't they don't they they they they they they th the the the th th the the th th their their th th th th th th tho tho th th th th th th th th th th their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their tho tho tho to to to to to to thou to to to thou to their to their their their their their their their thoooooooo' their their the don't understand how the way in's role they don't they don't go NEPO baby they go you got to prove it yourself you got to do the work yeah so I mean the amount of work that
Keenan and put me and Sean through was crazy because you can't just show up
like I'm a wayant no you show up like, I'm a want. No.
You show up and you're going to be a want.
People are going to have these high expectations of you.
So now we had to go through this rigorous training.
When we did Don't Be A Minus, our first movie,
my brother Keen made us right 26 drafts of the movie
before we even started filming.
And we didn't understand why. And then we did the movie and the director messed the movie up.
So they gave us money to film for seven days, a whole new movie.
So my brother looks at us and goes, okay, what movie you're gonna write now?
We was like, what?
We have no more to do.
And he was like, he made us go through it.
And because we went through those 26 drafts, we were prepared to write to write to write, to write, to write, whole next draft that became Don't Be a
Minus so everything is training because you don't want to fail and when you
get these opportunities because if you fail it's going to take so long to get
back here so we make sure before we send you out there that you're prepared.
So how do I join this family? Because this sounds like Korean boy
band training groups where you got people in wherever trained
to be weigh-ins that like all loaded up already.
You should be do a master class or something on how to be a way-in.
I like the Korean boy band thing.
That was hilarious.
The Korean boy bands, they train super hard.
Well, okay, well, I'm happy.
Why do you want to do comedy? You just just join the Korean boy b-. You train super hard, man. Well, okay, well, I'm happy. You want to do comedy.
You just join the Korean boy band.
You'd be rich and shit right now.
No, that's, that's, dude, those guys are literally like,
they train like, the Korean boy bands.
They train like, you know,'m very happy to be the first Asian person you ever spoken to.
So, it's a real honor for me.
Thank you for giving me your time.
I don't know.
I'm afraid.
And yeah, I really appreciate it.
But you're a legend, man.
Thank you.
