- The star of ABC's "Fresh Off the Boat" and the controversial film "The Interview" sat down with Ellen for the first time to talk about his parents, acting roles and love of breakdancing.
- Zábava
He is a great actor and he seems like a nice guy. Fresh off the boat is an awesome tv show!! :)
Shaenova1 Fresh off the boat is so funny and is incredibly underrated I think!
Shaenova1 what is the of his show tell me please
Shemoo Angle The name of the show is Fresh Off The Boat.
thank you
This man is so pleasant and has such a beautiful smile. I like him already!!
DArtagnan010 he looks like a very nice guy
Nearly every talk show host has asked him where he grew up and was surprised he was born and raised in America haha.
Sigh, yeah, story of every Asian American's life. =/
AverageJoe I can relate
First question they have ask Randall...
Jimmy Kimmel: Where are you from?
Ellen: Where did you grow up?
It may be insensitive but to be fair he doesn’t play an American on the show. He’s Taiwanese (Chinese) on the show.
His English is perfect. I think part of it is no one really knows much about him. They probably just wonder his background. He kind of came of no where. It's not like he is a child actor who came up in the industry.
I love Randall Park! He's so talented, funny & makes people really comfortable.
Why is Ellen so surprised he was raised in LA? Get it together Ellen.
Somegirl10192 RACIST!
Sopranoprince28 I don't think she is racist, but it does suck that she doesn't even realize what she is doing.
Somegirl10192 because a lot of famous celebrities were not born and raised in LA
ButterfleeEllie No, it's because he is Asian. I am a japanese-german-italian mix and people think I come from fucking Taiwan, dipshit. :)
+Sopranoprince28 hahahahah! you are perfect!
they always ask about parents when there are asian guests on.
+Sam LSD what's wrong with the comment?
Sam LSD its just an observation that this person made.
Nancy J because he's in american tv. if an american is in korean tv, they would do the same. wehre's your common sense?
Jay-R Reyes he's an American actor on an American tv show.
Sam LSD I wasn't sure before, but now I am certain you're a troll
low-key racial-profiling?
jiimmy567 She acted so surprised that he was raised in L.A.
jiimmy567 yep yep, sometimes I wish I didn't pick this kind of thing because I then realise it is amazing how people (usually Whites) are low key shading minorities all the time. By the way all the shows he has been to, the hosts always seem surprised he's American and grew up in America.
Yeah, sad to see it happen so frequently in Hollywood. Despite her remarks being quite ignorant, I wholeheartedly believe she didn't mean any insult by him - just an honest misperception.
In terms of ignorance, this is probably like a 1/10 of how bad things can be.
That is not racist, whatsoever. Racism is thinking one race is dominant than another. In her case, being surprised that he was born and raised from LA isn't racist, it's just statistics on the percentage of Asian Americans that live in the LA area that contribute to her being surprised.
No one said Ellen was racist. Racial profiling and ignorance is different to racism. Also, there is a huge percentage of Asians in LA, and Asian actors.
Ellen was being slightly ignorant with the questions, you'll never see her ask those to a white actor
I agree, this interview made her seem somewhat ignorant and stereotypical
Laura Greene you've never seen a white actor in an interview asked where they're from? I guess you don't watch many interviews then.
ButterfleeEllie You obviously didn't hear the interview almost every question was insensitive
Laura Greene She asked a lot about his parents..and how they felt about him being an actor + she literally was about to ask him if his dad worked. Still a little hurt that she asked him where he's from ._.
***** yeah, and she was so shocked to find out he's american
It's really annoying when white people ask you, "No, where are you REALLY from?" Or worse, when they literally just say, "What _are_ you?"
@Dalton - Actually the Chinese were here as early as 1800s and helped build the Transcontinental Railroad. Where do you get off stating that most Asians immigrated here? Why do you assume every Asian you see is a new immigrant? For instance, Kristi Yamaguchi is 4th generation Japanese-American. Yet people like her get asked all the time "Where are you from" when someone like Melania Trump or other white-skinned immigrants do not get asked that. -- Wow, and saying "most white people were born in America" shows how little you know (to put it very nicely) about America today, immigration, population, and history. Please go read some history books.
Ask them what they are.
There need to be more Asian people on television so people realize we exist
R. K. Vis Why are you taking everything so negatively?
You know what’s more annoying? When someone clumps white people together as racially insensitive.
I don't blame Ellen and other interviewers for being so surprised that an asian american can be born here -its because Asians are severely underrepresented and the more we appear on Tele with a voice, the less frequently we'll hear the same questions over and over again. You go Randall!
cozycushins YEAH I STRONGLY AGREE
VIRTUAL HIGH FIVE
+barnes 77 She meant earth, cause most Asians come from outer space.
+cozycushins Yeh it happens... Sometimes though, people assume I'm from the west coast. I'm like I've never even been there.
ignorance is not an excuse. i hate how every interview with an asian american figure just turns into -where are you from -what did your parents think of your career
I really am happy that Asian American Actors are starting to break into the Entertainment Industry since we been so under looked as actors. Hopefully in near future.. It'll open more opportunities for talented actors in the Asian american community .
Hyori Lee Did you forget about Lucy Liu?
Randall: "Dad I know what I wanna be when I grow up, an actor".
Dad: "No stupid it's pronounced doctor."
Jessica Lentz That's literally what my dad used to say. I'm Indian.
@@TheHumanBallsack You are indian and your last name is Juan
I remember first being introduced to Randall Park through Wong Fu shorts, and it's been great to see him land these other big roles in the Interview and Fresh Off the Boat. He seems very humble and genuine and does a lot to support the Asian American community. Excited to see what he does next!
As an Asian-American I can relate so much to this show lol
I LOVE FRESH OFF THE BOATTTTTT
Need to see more of him! born comedian.
Why is everyone asking him where he's from i feel like its just getting cliché and stereotype
its a subtle way of degrading him everyone walks in the club but he has to show his id
Three Crowned lol i was just wondering why bcz its so weird
there would never ask a euro chick that
this dude is 41 by the way.... i cant believe it!!
+Amisse Baras you have to be extremely lucky to become an actor. he didn't get his big break till he was 40.
i know... i meant he looks really young for his age
+Amisse Baras I mean...I can. He looks it. Doesn't mean he looks bad.
Asian don't Raisin
Brian Moon its a compliment？thank you
I love this man. He's going places!
Never realized he's Korean American. I love him in Ant man.
I knew from his surname: Park and also Kim are Korean
In west Los Angeles born and raised on the play ground is where I spent most of my days
dude smell u later
I immediately went "wtf?" When she was surprised by him living in Los Angeles... Why is it so damn surprising? Were you expecting him to say China? Normally her videos are awesome but this one really made me twist my head. I know I'm late as hell but I don't care. I love the show and he's a funny character. All of them are. I don't know why it's surprising an Asian man is from LA.
Yup. I caught that. Right ON THE NOSE. With that.
To be fair lots of interviewees all people where they are from, it's not an insidious question. When I meet new people I often ask where they are from regardless of their racial make-up. It's interesting to know. Could it possibly that most people who act and live in LA aren't usually from LA and that's why she asked the question? She does ask a lot of her guests where they are from, especially if they aren't particularly well known.
We Are Anonymous - he’s Korean but ok
Thank you
SOOOO happy for randall! i would always see him in phone commercials and then BAM! he makes it big with the interview and fresh off the boat! YAY go randall!!!
oh the famous "Where are you frooom?" question
pandie She asks that of everyone. Its not like everyone is from the US, California or LA.
Asian so sensitive, waaaaaah!
Should get Constance Wu on the show too!!!! :D
ThaliaGrace15 She's my favorite character on the show!
She's just too hot!
he was so fucking funny in the interview
+TheVintageRomance
What was so funny about this interview?
No in the movie The Interview. He played Kim jong un. His character was hilarious
TheVintageRomance
I know I'm just *ucking with u :)
+jsong21 haha aight, i was like what the hell lol
To clear up some misconceptions…
- The way interviews on talk shows work is that the guest, or guest's agent fills out a survey sent by staff of the show for the interviewer/writers to generate talking points. Watch interviews (on any talk show) where the interviewer, or interviewee is nervous, distracted, or awkward and you'll see that they transition in a conspicuous way from one talking point to another (the interviewer leading in situation-specific ways), as if it was all planned out and the interviewer already knew the answers to the questions he/she was going to ask. This questionnaire system is so shows that constantly interview guests (meaning there would be too many to prepare for in a non-factory-like way) can run smoothly; so the show can prepare, like when Ellen already had dolls to scare Channing Tatum.
- Ellen and other interviewers ask about where Randall Park is from because it was noted as a talking point from the survey. This is either to associate Randall Park with the characters on the show (his character's three sons) he is promoting, or to note that he's from L.A., where all of this stuff is filmed (which is what makes it significant). Ellen was just trying to stress that Randall Park was from L.A., when she followed up with, "Here?" instead of somewhere like San Francisco. (Personally, I think Mr. Park has a very slight drawl that makes him sound southern (Floridian, Texan, something).)
- Ellen asking about Randall Park's parents not liking that he went into acting is because she already knew from the questionnaire.
There is racism, ignorance, and prejudice, but Ellen isn't guilty of it here. Ellen is more like a mischievous little boy (sometimes cruelly so) with the way she messes with people (like how she's always give Sofia Vergara a difficult time with her accent, or insists on scaring people who hate being scared). If you want to see an example of presumptuous, but non-malicious ignorance, check out Howie Mandel interview Girls' Generation on "Live with Kelly".
Love the show Fresh off the boat!! would like to hear more about the breakdancing!
Fresh of the Boat is hilarious
Yeah a great series
Allison Lee It's brilliant...like watching my childhood Hip Hop era play out
My favorite character is Jenny
Yep
So happy to see Randall being interviewed.
Go Randall! loving fresh off the boat
I love fresh off the boat. It's really funny and I love all the actors and actresses. The kiddos are too adorable
Still love him in 2019!
I loved the interview
I love this Show!
I LOVE THE SHOW!!!
He's so funny! Super charming, new fan!!
I loooove Randall so much :)
fresh off the boat needs to come back like right now, hilarious show!!
I freaking love the show
I love you Ellen you are my inspiration ❤️❤️
He is so handsome!!🤩😍
I love Fresh of the Boat, is one of my favorite comedies
I like him & I Lovvveee "Fresh Off The Boat"! The two little boys are so cute! :D
I am so crazy about Fresh off the boat! just spent almost 4 hours on watching all 13 episodes! Love Louis, Jessica,Eddie, Emery and specially cute boy Evan xD
I love him 😍
omg this has been up not even 15mins and all the racist comments so far......
gtfo
there is none...
Joey Chua so sick of the word police...get over it. He didn't mean anything by it....or to be simple for your simple mind....he had no ill intent in his words. Not only are they not teaching you social skills...but you cant even tell by his tone? get over it
+James McCarthyNH your so rude
have a nice day.
Yeah, i agree. I haven't seen any racist comments either lol
So in that case, here is my sexist comment...
I can only assume that this is some broad looking for attention.
I’m aware I’m 8 years late to this video but he’s soooo funny!!! ahahha
Is it just me that remembers him from Supah Ninjas.
• Addict With A Pen • 卌 Been a fan of him ever since he was on that. Miss that show!
• Skeletøn With A Pen • OMG THAT WAS HIM??? The dad?
And The Interview, and Ant-Man And The Wasp
OMG!!! I love fresh off the boat!!! It's got a distinct idk 'everbody hates chris' vibe to it and its very genuine along with being funny. (I can relate since even though I'm a Pakistani-American my parents are very Asian through and through - the mum on that show was basically my mum growing up :P) definitely prefer it to other shows like modern family........
Randall awesome.
Who else first saw Randall in WONG FU PRODUCTIONS videos??!! :)
I can see how people perceived Ellen's question about where he was from as insensitive and ignorant. I know EXACTLY what it's like being in his shoes. Every time I tell someone I'm from the US, they give me a funny look and then I explain to them my parents are from South Korea and then their faces look more satisifed. It's quite sad honestly haha I'll never understand why people just don't ask what ethnicity one is instead.
On the other hand, Randall Park makes me proud to be Korean American! He seems super chill!
Ik I'm like 3 years late but fresh off the boat is amazing
he sounds pretty nervous but props to him for doing such a great job. lol!
This dude was in The Office as fake Jim and he was hilarious. Good for him and the show.
wow, I refreshed at a lucky time
I love you so much
Amy Cother uh thanks?
Joey Langley Joey and Amy banging in the comment section.
This was very informing...
The show signifies Eddie Huang's childhood with a slight comedy twist to it. I love how he didn't mention that.
Not a single ellen video can be viewed without ads
i love Fresh Off the Boat
2:49 woman in red jacket nearly falling asleep
She'd rather watch The Bachelor.
Still remember him playing jim on the office
love fresh off the boat lol
dam. didn't even notice who he was until he mentioned the interview. he was a good actor.
Ellen can you please have Jay Park on your show?? He's the first korean asian to sign with Jay-Z label Roc Nation. Jay Park have two songs out "Ben Baller" & K-Town 😍💞🔥👏🙌
I don't feel comfortable how Ellen asked him those questions like the parent thing and all.
Fresh off the boat is tremendously underrated
Fresh off the Boat is such a funny show! OMG! Everyone should watch it! It's hilarious! :)
oh "Asian Jim" youre always hilarious
Short Fuse That portrait of Asian Jim and his family really knocked my socks off!
he was such a cute kid ! he is handsome now :)
I wish I was on the Ellen show! I can sing really well!
So funny!
Handsome❤️❤️❤️
Fresh off the boat is extremely funny. y'all need to check it out on ABC
That's true what you said Ellen, "It will increase the value of whatever car you got."
JIMMY W💫💫 GOT A FRESH CUT SHEEEESH
Mr. Huang! ♡
whats kim jung un doing at ellen? :P
.......... Kim jong un looks nothing like him
Jessica Nguyen true, he needs to eat a few more hamburgers.
+Jessica Nguyen he played Kim in the interview
+Jessica Nguyen he played Kim in the interview
+Jessica Nguyen he played Kim in the interview
like him in Fresh off the boat
❤❤❤❤❤❤
John Krasinski was AMAZING in Fresh Off The Boat and The Interview
he reminds me of Kai!!
Whats the title of show Randall is mentioning?
"OH MY ANKLES"
Damn it Ellen why you got to be the stereotype white American who ask Asian Americans where are you from. He has a wiki page and clearly he's lived in the US for ages.
Ellen is an American? Always considered her Australian
I remember some teen movies in the 80s that we called valley girls and surfers. Does anyone recognized where this accent is from?
Hi Ellen your a inspiration I wish I could be on your show me and my little brother love dub smash and we are really good at doing it Ellen please let us be on your show and a lot of people make fun of me a lot and my talking to you it would make me smile for the rest of my life
I'm so glad to be Asian American and being named Louis.
I love dis woman
I love everyone on fresh off the boat except the mother.
Is it cold right now in LA, or is it just an old clip ?
Holy shit.... Randall was Kim Jong Un from The Interview...... 😱😂
I remember him from Supah Ninjas.
I LOVE this show. He and Constance Wu are so awesome (the kids are not great, but meh). I like the cultural difference jokes, and oddities. Is this racist? I don't know, but what I do know is that most sitcoms represent some kind of demographic which we laugh at. The Jewish mother, the untogether girlfriends, the uptight English,
This show wouldn't work if the acting and writing weren't sharp and tight.
Far as I know, Asian actors don't get many chances at all. If anime is made with gaijins playing the Japanese roles, that tells me how racist the media still is. And they're all called "asian". Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Indonesian, Thai, Vietnemese- billions of Asians never on USA tv screens. This show is breaking a bit of ground.
that picture in the background, I'm sorry, I thought it was pic of his daughter.
from wild n out!
This man is gorgeous!
I love Fresh Off The Boat. Constance is really carrying the show.
yep
