Ive always gravitated toward comedy, so I watchedeverythingcomedy related.
I watched stand-ups, sitcoms, comedy movies, and even late-night talk shows.
I loved Conan OBrien, Stephen Colbert, and Louis C.K.
For some reason, these older white men really spoke to me as a young Chinese girl.
From there, I would always make my friends laugh to a point where Id pee my pants.
I peed my pants so much as a kid.
And now I do stand-up for a living with material that I find hilarious.
What unscripted or reality series do you think youd excel at?
What archetype do you think youd be?I would be great at travel food series.
But it doesnt stop me from having that same confidence and high level of standards Gordon has.
I would be a voice for the people.
I guess the archetype would be Asshole Critic With Unearned Confidence.
But I also want to tie it with my first late-night-TV set onThe Late Late Show With James Corden.
Those were both very big moments for me.
All of those things got me here today, so I cant just pick one Im sorry!
All very big moments for me!

(This can involve venue, audience, other comedians on the lineup anything!

My first shows were booked lineup shows; I was very lucky.
It was a story about me shitting my pants in kindergarten.
It was the hardest bomb Ive ever experienced.
I still can remember how dead silent it was throughout the entire five minutes.
It was the worst.
It was so traumatizing I havent done that joke ever since!
Whats yours and why?I think mine would be What the fuck??
The fuck, dude.
I know that clip was extremely viewed by everybody, but I think he deserves even more recognition.
It was so sick.
This song-selection question made me five days late to submitting this entire questionnaire.
And you know what?
I wont commit to these songs for the rest of my life, actually.
This may change tomorrow.
This is why I dont have tattoos.
I have commitment issues.
The worst comedy advice actually is related to stage time also.
I dont believe that all stage time is equal.
Id rather have dinner with friends who I love than do a show with two people in the audience.
