Comedian Ronny Chieng on Political Satire, Trolling Algorithms and Cerebral Dick Jokes

Kara talks to Ronny about the cost-benefit of political satire in Trump 2.0; how his law degree helps him write pithy cerebral jokes, including for his latest (third!) Netflix special, Love to Hate It; his latest acting role playing Fatty Choi in Hulu’s Interior Chinatown; and why people think Jon Stewart is still the only host of The Daily Show.
