purist September 3, 2015 Share September 3, 2015 (edited) Ronny Chieng! He's pretty well known in Australia, having lived and studied here for the past decade or so. He's performed a lot of stand-up and been on TV quite often. He has a very interesting background (thanks, Wikipedia): 'Chieng is of Chinese descent. He was born in Johor Bahru, Malaysia and was raised in Singapore and New Hampshire, US.' His style of comedy is a bit confronting - his on-stage persona is bad-tempered and impatient - but I like him a lot.

He made so many points that needed making, in a way that was very concrete (your body will betray you, 12% approval, the cost of congress is $4million/what is the cost of thousands of lives?). I hate to say it, but maybe he should leave TDS. Maybe, like Samantha Bee, he could do better work in a less limiting environment. It seems to me that there may be some blandification orders coming from the network, because it's clear that the people on staff are capable of being so much more powerful than they are shown to be over there. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/30801-the-correspondents-roy-and-desi-ronny-and-michael-dulc%C3%A9-and-jaboukie-oh-my/#findComment-2336912

He didn't even care if he was funny anymore by the end of it, which is completely appropriate given the subject matter. To "the room" very little of it was funny. But of course that's not the point. Back when Larry Wilmore did this in a smaller form, he got criticized for "not reading the room", which was a BS way to try and throw him under the bus for trying to make people think. Here. from the moment of the opening salvo at Kasich, he set up a set that had nothing to do with making the people there laugh. Which is great, actually. It started with some nervous unsure laughter, but eventually that room went dead silent. He DID read the room, but... didn't care. Making them laugh wasn't his agenda. Not that any of the Republicans there are going to rethink their positions because of that. The point he was making was to the home audience. Not that CSPAN normally HAS a home audience, but he's not an idiot. He knew the Internet would (if he was lucky) pick up the performance and run with it. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/30801-the-correspondents-roy-and-desi-ronny-and-michael-dulc%C3%A9-and-jaboukie-oh-my/#findComment-2338832
