Remember when Ronny Chieng was mad that he was supposed to have a conversation with Lucy Liu, but instead, Simu Liu came in? That made me laugh so much.

Great interview! I love how thoughtful and sincere they both are. Glad Josh picked up on the substitute stuntman as that piqued my interest also!

He was in a Canadian-Asian boy band, LX4. He can sing & dance! He can still throw a standing back tuck (gymnastics). All of that translates well to Broadway.

I like the way SImu talks to the audience as much as he talks directly to Josh, and I like the fact that Josh is on the desk and doing interviews, he doesn't need cue cards.
