That's the thing about 'The Daily Show' - we're doing four shows a week, so we can't be too precious about what's going on.
'The Daily Show' forced me out of my comfort zone.
I'm on Twitter for work, but I hate it. I encourage everyone to delete it if possible.
If I'm not touring, I wake up late - 10, 11 A.M. - and one of my favorite things is to go for brunch with my wife.
I saw 'Seinfeld' on TV and told my mum that would be something cool to try one day, and she was like, OK, 'Here is a five-year-old telling me what they want to when they grow up' sort of thing, and what would they know, right!
When I first came to Australia, one thing that struck me was how everything closed early. Singapore is very much a 24/7 place. You can get good food any time of the day - in the middle of the night, even.
I usually say something if I hear someone I know saying something I think is racist with malicious intent.
Melbourne City is an awesome city. You can get everything: You can get open air. You can get city life. You can get cafes and bars. I started comedy here; I lived here for 10 years. I went to university here. This is my home ground.
The beauty of the university world is that you can use it as a microcosm to parody anything in the 'real' world.
My style of comedy is probably absurdist, observational, and Olympian.
I'm the worst night owl, because I'm a self-loathing night owl who thinks, 'No, I should be getting up early.' It feels unproductive. I must get over that.
University characters are prime for parody, you know - the self-entitled rich kids to the self-important protestors to the international students.
Every time I do something, I think, 'Am I portraying Asian people in the way I want to be portrayed?'
You just have to tell your authentic stories, and hopefully, it resonates. Whatever your story is, you just have to tell it authentically.
Writing a whole series was a crash course in screenwriting, which is a very different muscle to standup comedy writing.
If you go to Japan, you have to take the train and go visit different capital cities. Just sticking to one city would be a shame, considering how easy it is to get around. Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto all have different vibes and sights.
I grew up in Singapore, and I went to Australia for law school, and after law school, I started doing stand-up comedy.
I've found that if you have big thighs, as I do, long underwear will not ride up.
We didn't really have vacations when I was a child.
