My next guest has been making you laugh Sunday nights on HBO's Silicon Valley, as well as in comedy clubs around the country. Give it up for Jimmy O. Yang, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you, thank you, thank you, our CEO. How you guys doing? Lovely. It's amazing, amazing to be here, man. Thank you guys so much for coming. It is amazing. It's great. The weather is hot outside, man. I just came in for the AC, and they told me to stay for the comedy, so it's good. I love being in Los Angeles, man. I've been going to the beach. It's great. But one thing I can never do, I can never take my shirt off at the beach. Ladies, don't get me wrong. I'm in shape, okay? I'm in shape. This is an extra small, extra slim fit. I'm in shape, but I'm just a small guy with really nice hair. So from the back, I look like a hot Asian chick. And from the front, I look like a really hot Asian chick. It's terrible. It's weird, man. People always try to holler at me and stuff. It's weird. I'm actually kind of jealous of my black friends, because they're so spontaneous with the ladies, right? They didn't go up to any girl they want and just holler at them. It's great. I see my black friends going up to any stranger in the street, any girl, and just be like, hey, what's up, ma? Let me holler at you, baby. What's up, girl? Let me holler at you, ma. What's up, girl? You're looking beautiful. Let me holler at you, baby girl. I can't do that. Can you imagine like a really Asian person trying to pull that off, how awkward and messed up it's going to turn out to be? Just like, hey, let me holler at you, huh? Hey, ho, where are you going? Let me holler at you. Come back, come back, I'll do your nails for you. You guys are racist for laughing at that, man. It's great to be here. It's seriously amazing for me to be here tonight. Like, I'm so blessed. I'm actually an immigrant. I moved to this country when I was 13 years old from Hong Kong, China. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. When I first came here, this is a true story. When I first came here, I barely spoke a word of English, and I learned how to speak English by watching a lot of television. Two months into it, I realized I was watching Telemundo. I didn't really know. Like, what is Corazon? And there's like 12 of them? What is that? So eventually, eventually I switched the channel, and you can still hear my voice today. I learned most of my English by watching BET Rap City. Yeah. Big Tick in the Basement, Freestyle Friday. There's nothing more American than Snoop Dogg, you know? And I didn't know any better. I just thought that's how everybody talked. So I went up to the lunch lady the next day. I'm like, hey, what it do, shawty? Yeah. Holla at me some of that waffle fries, bitch. What's up? It was embarrassing. It was embarrassing. Luckily, nobody ever tried to bully me because they just assumed that I know kung fu. It was great. Me and Arsenio, we're going to do Rush Hour 4. It's going to be awesome. Yeah. To this day, I still run into weird situations just for being Asian. I was watching a soccer game. Real exciting game. It was like USA versus Mexico, right? I was at a bar. And this old Mexican guy came up to me, and he barely spoke a word of English. And he tapped me in the shoulder. He's like, amigo. Amigo. Mexico. Korea. Tomorrow, huh? I'm like, bro, I'm not even Korean. He managed to insult me with the only three English words he knew. That's a gift. He should be on this show. So I got back at him. I just insulted him with the only three Spanish words that I knew. I was just like, tacos, burritos, cilantro, huh? It's great to see all these different ethnicity here in America just all hang out. It's great. Whatever ethnicity you are, yes. Absolutely. Whatever ethnicity you are, you have to be proud of who you are, man. I'm really, really proud to be Asian, I got to say. I'm proud to be Asian. Because I've never seen an Asian person on the Maury Povich show. Have you ever seen that? You've never seen that? Never. You're never going to see some Asian guy walking down those steps of shame on Maury and just be like, hey, Maury. Hey, Maury. Look, look, Maury, look. Look, Maury. I got a small eye. He got a big eye. That's not my baby, Maury. That's not my baby. Thank you very much. Thank you. You guys are amazing. Thank you. Thank you. You're welcome, dog. You're welcome. Yes, sir. Give it up for him. And see Jimmy perform at the Laugh Factory in Hollywood May 22nd and in Long Beach. We got to get Snoop out there on the 23rd and 24th. Also, check my website because Rush Hour 4 is coming, y'all. We'll be right back.
