I was born in Hong Kong.
Any Hong Kong people?
Couple of us? Awesome, man.
For you guys that haven't been following the news, Hong Kong is a part of Japan.
I'm joking, obviously.
But I said the same shit in Kansas City, and people were like, really?
Wow.
We learned something new today, Bill.
I did a show in Kansas City, I don't know why either.
People are very nice in Kansas City.
I'm not gonna say they're racist or anything like that, but they're just curious.
They're watching me like they're watching an episode of National Geographic.
And a pack of giraffes just ran by.
And they're like, oh, never seen one of those in real life.
Looks majestic.
This one kid in Kansas City came up to me after the show.
Very nice kid. This is what he said.
He was like, Jimmy, thought you were really funny, man.
I don't mean to offend you.
That's when you know you're about to get offended.
He's like, I don't mean to offend you, but when I first saw your poster,
I thought you were gonna play the violin.
I was like, I do, motherfucker, just not right now.
Shit.
Keep it a secret.
See, I gotta say,
I got some of the nicest crowds in the business.
I rarely ever get heckled. And one time I was talking about how I used to play the violin.
Old Chinese lady sitting in the front just stood up and screamed out, first chair or second chair?
And I was like, thanks, ma'am. Fifth chair, actually.
Fifth chair. It wasn't very good.
It wasn't good.
I grew up very stereotypically in Hong Kong. I grew up very stereotypically in Hong Kong.
Like, my real name is not even Jimmy.
That's my English name.
My real name is Man Xing. In Cantonese,
Man Xing. It stands for 10,000 success. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I have very ambitious parents. And now
I'm telling dick jokes and doing tai chi on stage.
Jimmy was just kind of like an arbitrary English name that just sounded easy. And my dad, he named himself Richard.
I was like, Dad, why'd you name yourself Richard?
He was like, because I want to be rich.
It makes so much sense.
And then they named my older brother
Roger after the James Bond actor Roger Moore.
Yeah, but my brother hated that name.
He was like, man, it makes me sound like an old white guy. So eventually he changed his own name to Roy.
So now he sounds like an older white guy.
And now his full name is Roy Roger, which is the oldest white guy to ever white.
