Ronny Chieng

Looks like Netflix is fully capitalizing the potential of Asian stand-up comics. Born in Malaysia to a Chinese family, Ronny Chieng is one of the fresh faces of the industry that will crack you up every time he tells a joke. This globe-trotting comedian wanted to become a lawyer but found himself doing stand-up comedy when his first career choice did not pan out well. It turns out, he made the best decision of his life. He is a correspondent on The Daily Show and was a part of Crazy Rich Asians.
