Description

"What does it look like if you take the background character and say, 'This story could be yours now if you choose to accept the mission?'" Charles Yu, creator and executive producer of “Interior Chinatown,” joins Ronny Chieng to discuss the new Hulu series, in which Ronny also stars. Yu shares the inspiration behind the story, based on his best-selling book about a TV procedural background character that breaks out of his role, working with director Taika Waititi, subverting norms in his writing, and being an Asian man in America. #DailyShow #CharlesYu #Hulu Subscribe to The Daily Show: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwWhs_6x42TyRM4Wstoq8HA/?sub_confirmation=1 Follow The Daily Show: Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheDailyShow Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedailyshow Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedailyshow Stream full episodes of The Daily Show on Paramount+: http://www.paramountplus.com/thedailyshow Follow Comedy Central: Twitter: https://twitter.com/ComedyCentral Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ComedyCentral Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/comedycentral About The Daily Show: Jon Stewart and The Best F**king News Team host The Daily Show, an Emmy and Peabody Award-winning program analyzing the biggest stories in news, politics, and culture through a sharp, satirical lens.

I just finished watching Int. Chinatown and it was one of the best new shows I have seen in a long time. I loved the layers of story telling and also the immigrant story that still exists today. The racism, and stereo typing and misunderstanding of other people's culture and trying to make everyone one race is still happening.

I found Charles Yu when I read his article "What it's like to never ever see yourself on TV" and then read Interior Chinatown. Loved the book, and Ronny was hilarious in the TV series! 😂
