About this episode

Jimmy O. Yang discusses his comedic journey, personal life, and the contradictions in his personality.

Actor and comedian Jimmy O. Yang is full of contradictions. On stage, he exudes a party guy vibe, always down for a good time. But in actuality, Jimmy is pretty serious. He edits his own stand-up specials and thinks a lot about starting a family. Jimmy works through all of this in his comedy. He tells Sam how he learned English as a teenager, his favorite karaoke song, and how he’s actively trying to make new friends. His latest special ‘ Finally Home ’ is out now.  Sign up for Sam’s Newsletter to get behind the scenes stuff from every interview each week.
