Talking Watches With Jimmy O. Yang, Comedian, Writer, And 'Silicon Valley' Star

  • čas přidán 11. 04. 2022
  • I first became aware of Jimmy O. Yang because of his role on Silicon Valley as Jian-Yang, a character whose occasionally menacing, always scene-stealing deadpan made the HBO series a must-watch comedy. From there, the Hong Kong-born actor, comic, and writer went on to the silver screen (Crazy Rich Asians), an Amazon stand-up special (Good Deal), a sitcom opposite Steve Carell and John Malkovich (Space Force), and most recently, a starring role in the holiday-season rom-com Love Hard.
    Yang's is an earnest collection, one many readers will relate to. I know I did. The only difference is that while many of us have let our first watches slip away, Yang has managed to hang onto his earliest pieces, including an anime tribute to Dragon Ball Z from his Hong Kong childhood. Join us for the watches and stay for the laughs. This is your Talking Watches with Jimmy O. Yang.

    There's something that fascinates me from this show. It's the fact that although the vast majority of people might share the same watch, with a same reference number, etc... each person ends up having a different intricate story. I don't know, seems pretty stupid, but it's these small things that make this world so fascinating.
