today's episode. Welcome back to the Daily Show. My next guest tonight is an Oscar nominated actor who stars in the new film, The the step. You go be on the show. You're the first Oscar-no'- You're the first Oscar-nominated actor. I get to interview. Really? That's really shocking.

It's not, it's pretty hard to get nominated. I mean, you have like a, uh, I feel to interview. Really? Yeah. That's really shocking. It's not, it's pretty hard to get nominated. I mean, you have like a, I feel like you're in a great place in culture right now because you're in all these shows that are like... I wake up every morning and think, I'm a great, I'm in a great place in culture. Yeah, I think you are. You got, you were in the you were nominated for your work in the whale you are in Astroite City West Anderson You're in the menu you're in watchman There are all these kind of like really oddy like Critically acclaimed films and and TV shows and I mean I feel like are you purposely going a little bit under the radar or is the system

suppressing agents like which one is it? What is... I try not to wake up every morning thinking that the world is against me and because I'm Asian. But no, I honestly wish that I knew that I had more control over what I did, but all of the work that comes to me, it's come really organically. Every job that I've gotten has been because the director has seen me in something prior. I got Watchmen because Damon saw me and downsizing and, you know, those two characters are very different. I was in kinds of kindness, which came out recently because your ghost saw me in Kelly Reichhardt's movie showing up again two very different movies. So just by being super talented and you just plowed

through yeah it's amazing it's super cool because I say that just because I feel like you're not on social media or you're not you know who has the time I mean a lot of people have the time apparently has nothing but time for social media. No, I agree with you. I think it's different, like it's so nice to be able to pour yourself into your craft. I feel that's my impression of you. It's my first time meeting you, but just based on how you conduct yourself, you know, like, I feel like you devote somewhat to a craft and like the show business side of things. I mean is that a conscious decision or is that just naturally?

I mean I guess it's because I never grew up wanting to be an actor. I never saw myself in front of the camera. I was very introverted. I'm still kind of introverted if I'm being honest. And so I just always, whenever I do my work, I just show up and I just want to be in of service you know I you're so introverted you decide to become the greatest actor of all time for millions and millions of people in hit films and as I know I believe you I'm not saying you're lying I believe it's just funny that like how did you reconcile you know

being introverted and I believe that you're genuinely like that with you know you're with Matt Damon you know you're messaging you know you're you know you're messaging him you're you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you the you the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the greatest you're the greatest the greatest the greatest the greatest the greatest the greatest the greatest the greatest the greatest the greatest the greatest the greatest the greatest the greatest the greatest the the the greatest the the the the greatest the the the the the greatest the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the greatest the the the the the greatest the the the the the they. they. they. they. the greatest the greatest the greatest the greatest the greatest the greatest the the greatest the the believe that you're genuinely like that with you know being you're over with Matt Damon you know you're messaging him you're in his films and you're this you got nominated for an Oscar and all the press that goes to that like how does that um well Matt suggested me for the instigator so you're on first name basis of this guy introvers don't friend Brad. You mean Brad Pitt? Yeah. But yeah, like, was that thing your way of like getting out of your show? Or what made you?

Yeah, I took, I took improv classes and public speaking classes after work. After I graduated college as a full adult I was doing this. And it was just something that I did because I knew it would, you know, I would be, you full adult I was doing this. And it was just something that I did because I knew it would, you know, I would be standing in my own way. Right, so you like, you forced yourself to kind of overcome it a bit. Yeah, I felt nauseous before every improv class, like really sick to my stomach. But obviously you, something, I got over it.

I don't know how, because I was, you know, it. I don't know how because I was you know I'm I again I don't know you that well so I don't know how much you're exaggerating how introverted you were no no no it was bad it's very bad yeah so I'm sure you could find some people that I used to work with or went to school with and they would tell you like oh she's so quiet. Oh she's so quiet oh she's so quiet so the so you so. Oh oh so. Oh so. Oh so. Oh so. Oh so. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. th. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. th. Oh. Oh. th. Oh. th. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. the. Oh. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. I. I. I. I. I. the. I. I. the. I. I. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. I. the. I. I. the. I. I. the. I. I. I. I. I. the. I. I. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I. I. the. the next you know you're getting... So what is it? Like, can you talk about process a little bit? Because I think it's very interesting. Like, when you... Being so shy and introverted, how does that translate into... I don't know.

I think I just really love movies. I love films, I love directors. And so whenever I'm working on something, it really excites me who the director is and what the script over and over again. That's really all it is. Right. Yeah. Okay, well, it's easier for some people than, all I gotta do is just I was just shy and I just read a script and Matt Damon put me in a moon and then next thing I know I got nominated for an Oscar. That's just easy.

It's just like you... It's like you... It's like you it's like you, it's like you, it's like you tripped and fell into the best career of all time. Yeah, and it truly does, like your work kind of speaks for itself, which is really nice, you know? Like you don't have to, I feel like you don't even need to promote it that much because everyone knows the face and the name and the work. That's good, you you you you th th th th th that's that's that's good, th that's good, th th th th th I I I I that's good th I th I's good th I's good th. It's good th. It's good th. It's th.

That's good because I've been doing a lot of promoting all weekend. I wish I had known.

And can you talk a little bit about your background because I just find it very interesting. Yeah, I'm Vietnamese and my parents left Vietnam after the war in 79. They left by boat, part of the whole boat, uh, I'm the whole boat people, I'm, I. I. I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I th, I th, I th, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've th, I'm Vietnamese and my parents left Vietnam after the war in 79. They left by boat, part of the whole boat people, boat exodus. And my mom was actually six months pregnant with me. And my dad got shot that night as they were leaving. And so they were on a boat for three days. My brother was five, my older brother. And somehow they landed up, they ended up at

a refugee camp in Thailand and that's where I was born. And we had a sponsor family in New Orleans. And now I'm here talking to you. Oh, that's amazing. That's such a huge glow-up. From Vietnamese refugees to New Orleans residents to Osgo, I know. I'm very scary, aren't I? And my wife's family is, she's Vietnamese. Yeah, she's Vietnamese and same thing happened to them. They escaped South Vietnam, Saigon and went to Australia instead. And my wife always tries to like reconnect with the Vietnamese culture and she bakes these cakes and she baked this when she found out my

wife Hannah when she found out that you were on the show she was like okay can I make her a Vietnamese cake and she made you a traditional Vietnamese bumbal cake yeah look at my wife Hannah's bumble cake okay could you try some of this yeah I got the scoons here? I got the Look at my wife Hannah's Bumble, green cake. That'd be okay. Could you try some of it? Yeah, that's okay. I got the spoons here, all right. Okay.

I hate to go into the stereotype of... This is, this is one of my worst nightmares is eating on camera. It's okay. You got not only if I an Oscar, you can pretend to like this. This could be like your thing, like, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, the, the, the, the, the, tha, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, I'd thi, I'd tho, I'd tho, I'd to tho, I'd to, I'd to, I'd to, I'd to, I'd to, I'd to like this. This could be like your thing, like, what's the chicken wing show? Oh, the hot ones? Yeah, but Vietnamese could be like, or Hannah could do a Vietnamese. Yeah, she got this featured in the New York Times.

Ronnie Chang had caught my eye when he did a piece on The Daily Show that mocked a racist Fox News segment about Chinatown. I love that he was smart and hilarious and clearly wasn't trying to please anybody. Thank you just for my Instagram. No but this is a crazy full-soto moment. It is. Because I guess you I never heard the story from you but you apparently saw me on the Daily Show and that's how you cast me on it. Yeah now here we are. Yeah. We're just talking on the Daily Show and you're the guest and I'm hosting. It's nuts. It's nuts. It's nice.

Yeah, right? Come on. When we were casting, I just wanted to cast Asians that I wanted to be like or had the confidence to be like and you had all of it. Oh, no, that's great. And we were casting an asshole so it's perfect. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I. I. the the story. I was. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th.

We were just. When we were just. When we were just. Wethe great. And we were casting an asshole so it's perfect. I take it. Yeah, the story was for me was I saw you making the movie and then I at that time I just moved to America. Hollywood was such a far away thing. I didn't even, no even my wildest dreams would I would be in a movie. You know I was just some asshole comic like running from bar to bar telling dig jokes. And so I didn't even think about it.

I just thought, oh, it's cool that John Chu is doing a story set in Singapore. I was like, oh, that's cool. I can't wait to watch this movie. And then I read this article that came out a few weeks later that you said like, the headline was like, the headline was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, thian, thian, thian, thian, thian, thian, thian, thian, thian, thin, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, thi, thi, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, th........... It th. It th. It th. It th. It th. It's cool, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, that's cool, that's cool, that's cool, that's cool, that's cool, that's cool, that's cool, that's cool, that's cool, that's cool, that's cool, thing ever. I just called my agent, and I was like, yo, I will never do this. I told my agent, I'll never pull this card. But if you get me an audition, I promise you, I'm going to book this.

I promise you. And then he was, he got me to send, I to the reality is you already on our list. Yeah, I know. So, that's insane. And then I meet you on set and you're like, oh yeah, you were always on our pitch deck. Literally my pitch deck. I would like flip around and we're going to get Ronnie Chang, this is going to be the Asian Avengers and all that. Okay, you see. Wow, that's great, but then that word never got back to me. No one told me I was on the pitch text, I was auditioning, I was like, yeah. We gotta make you work for it.

Yeah, so it was great. I was happy to audition for it. And the first thing you told me, um, when I got on set was I just, I loved how positive. that. It's my first time on, the. tip. the. tip. tod. tod. tod. tod. It's, tod. I, tod. I, tod. I was, tod. I was, tod. I was, tod. I was, tod. I was, tod. I was, tod. I was, the their. I was, I was, I was, I was, I was. th. I was. I was. I was. I was, I was. I was. Yeah, I was. Yeah, I was. Yeah, I was. Yeah, I was. Yeah, I was. Yeah, I was. Yeah, I was. Yeah, I was. Yeah, I was. Yeah, I was. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, to. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. the. to. the. to. the. the. to. the. the. I wasn't trying to make it about me at all, but you're so positive. He didn't at all. Never, never. And you came up to me and the first thing you said was like, hey man, you know I see auras.

I don't know how you saw that. And I go like, I don't want to arm. And so I don't know how you saw that. Well, you shouldn't be on Edibles when you meet your actor for the first time. But if you're outing me as a spiritualist, then I don't know if I believe in all that stuff, but I do see colors. Yeah.

So I've never said that publicly. Just to my kids. I'm trying to get to get you you you you you say say say say say say say say say say say you say say say you say say say say say you say say you say say say say say say say say say say say I to say. I to say. I'm never to say. I'm never. I'm never. I'm never. I'm to say. I'm to say. I'm to say. I'm to say. I'm never. I'm to say. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I's. I's. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I'm that. I'm that. I'm that. I'm that. I'm that. I'm that. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm t. I'm t. I'm t. I'm t. I'm t. I'm t. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm that. I'm that. I'm that. I'm th. I'm trying to get you say stuff you didn't say on Colbert. It is true. It is true. Yeah, I see. You have a lot of blue spikes right now. Right now? Okay. I don't know what it means. I can't actually tell you what it is.

I think it is. It's true. But you know what it means? And I'm, when you were making it, did you know that it was going to become what it was? No, I don't think any of us could have known. I think when we were there and we're all together, we're talking about our experiences of being an Asian person

in entertainment from all around the world, where anyone came from. I think we shared something and that was really powerful that, hey, this is actually really important. Whether people see it or not, we didn't know, we didn't really care. It was like for us to show off what we could do, we could make fun of ourselves and our culture and our people, and we could show them as beautiful and as heroes and as villains and any way we wanted. I think it was when we were making it is when I felt like, if people get a load of th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, and I, th, and I, and I, and I, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, I, and, I, I, I, I, th, th, th, th, thin, thin, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, we th, we th, we th, we th, we th, we th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thin, thi, thi, to to thin, to to thi. thi. thi. to thi. thi. thi, thi, thi load of this, they're not even ready. Right. So you could feel it on set. I could feel it on set. But you don't know until the audience shows up in that first weekend when people brought their

grandmothers and people who hadn't gone to the movies for all these years and and were crying outside and would just congregate in the lobby you just felt like we were part of something, something, something bigger than us. And I guess I want to talk about this relentless positivity that I felt back then and I still feel now. And I guess I don't know if you have any words of how to stay positive in these times. Because I feel like if anything, like the world has gotten less positive after we made this movie, but you never stop with the positivity. So I don't know if you have any perspective on that.

That's part of the reason why I wrote the book is, you know, I grew up in an America where people believed in their dreams that you could achieve these things. My parents have a Chinese restaurant. I grew up as a restaurant kid doing my homework at the bar. Yeah, you go therethe American dream still exists. Yes, it was maybe not what our parents said it was, and maybe not what we hoped it would be, but the idea of it still exists.

And we have the power to control what that narrative will be in the future. And I really wanted in the book to show any young dreamer out there or old dreamer when you're up, you are on on on on on on on on on on on on on on on on the c you are on the c you are on the c you are on the c you are on the c you're on the c you're on the c you're on the c you're on the cus on the cus on the cus up on the cus up on the cus up on the cus up. the cusp. the cusk. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. the the th. th. the the the th. th. the thi. thi. the. the. the. the. tea. tea. tea. tea. tea. te. te. te. their. their. their. their. their. their. the book to show any young dreamer out there or old dreamer when you're up, you're on the cusp of chasing your dream, that it can happen and that it's hard and that there's ups and downs and it's not overnight, but if you just keep walking, you'll end up at some place and I think that's necessary in this world right now. Yeah, I mean, I did read it. I was looking for my name. I was a whole. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's ups. I there's ups.

It's ups and their ups and th. It's ups and th. It's ups and th. It's ups and th. It's ups and this and it's a page to. I did read it. I was looking for my name. I was the whole thing. It's already at the end, so I had to read the whole book before I could find out what you said about me. But no, this book is a very positive book. I feel like, I almost feel like you wrote it for kids to read almost in a way, for them to read and see, you know, how to navigate..... to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the their their their their their their their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, I. I. I. I was, I. I. I. I, I. I. I, I, I. I. I. I, I. I. I. I. I, I. I. I. I. I, I. I. I. I. I. I, I. I. I. I. I. I, I. I. I, I. I the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the try. I try. I'm try. I'm try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try. I was, their, their, I was, I was their almost in a way, for them to read and see, you know, how to navigate kind of dream chasing. I also think like everyone has a camera now.

Everyone's a creator, everyone has a, you know, on their phones or editing for Tick-Tock or whatever it may be. And there's, that's power. That is a very powerful thing in your hand. And I, you know, when I started making videos, thia, thia, thia, thia, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, to to to to to to thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th. th. th. th. th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th. th, th, th, th. th, th.... th, to to to th.. to to to to to thi, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, it was for weddings and bar mitzvahs in high school and I was like the only kid doing it and now everyone does it so I think there's like a responsibility when you realize the power that you have and I think there is, I think there's a, there's understanding what that grammar is of audiovisual storytelling and what you want to, to say is more important than ever and owning who you are thua to thua to to to their.... to to to the the thua. thua. thin. I I I I I I I I. thi. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. thi. thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm, thi. I's, thi.

I'm throwneean. I'm, thr-i. I'm thr-I's, thr-s, thi. I's, thi Viewfinder, is to find who you are and how you want to express that. And you may have mistakes that you make along the way, but that's okay. It's a constant, it's a, it's a routine, chasing your dreams a routine, it isn't a goal or destination.

And now I do want to talk about this next project you're doing. So you've helped Asian representation in film, and now you're helping green people be representing in film. So this next movie project, Wicked. Yeah. When is it coming up? Yeah, when is it coming out? It's coming out November 22nd. And we have Arana Grande, Cynthia Rivo playing the two witches. the witches, yeah.

And I mean, just set it up. What made you want to choose the work the work the work the work the work to choose to choose to choose to want to choose to work on Wicked? Well it's about the backstory of the Wicked Witch of the West. So Cynthia Rivo plays Elphabah, who in the story of the Wizard of Oz, which is probably one of the greatest American fairy tales out there, she is seen as the Wicked Witch, but there's a deeper plan, a darker plan thatthat has made her the wicked witch.
