Standup comic, actor and fan favorite from HBO's Silicon Valley and the film Crazy Rich Asians shares his memoir of growing up as a Chinese immigrant in California and making it in Hollywood.
"I turned down a job in finance to pursue a career in stand-up comedy. My dad thought I was crazy. But I figured it was better to disappoint my parents for a few years than to disappoint myself for the rest of my life. I had to disappoint them in order to pursue what I loved. That was the only way to have my Chinese turnip cake and eat an American apple pie too."
Jimmy O. Yang is a standup comedian, film and TV actor and fan favorite as the character Jian Yang from the popular HBO series Silicon Valley. In How to American, he shares his story of growing up as a Chinese immigrant who pursued a Hollywood career against the wishes of his parents: Yang arrived in Los Angeles from Hong Kong at age 13, learned English by watching BET RapCity for three hours a day, and worked as a strip club DJ while pursuing his comedy career. He chronicles a near deportation episode during a college trip Tijuana to finally becoming a proud US citizen ten years later. Featuring those and many other hilarious stories, while sharing some hard-earned lessons, How to American mocks stereotypes while offering tongue in cheek advice on pursuing the American dreams of fame, fortune, and strippers.
Multi-faceted actor, stand-up comedian, and writer Jimmy O. Yang is best known for his portrayal of hilarious intern Jian Yang on HBO's Emmy-nominated comedy series Silicon Valley. Born in Hong Kong, Yang made his television debut on the CBS series 2 Broke Girls and his first late-night stand-up appearance on The Arsenio Hall Show, where he received a rare standing ovation. Other television credits include DirecTV's Things You Shouldn't Say Past Midnight, CBS' Battle Creek and Criminal Minds, FXX's It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and ABC's Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. He is currently recurring on TruTV's half hour comedy series, Those Who Can't. Yang is based in Los Angeles.
挺真誠的,但是一看就是沒好好讀書的人寫的東西。前麵講融入美國文化的部分有些地方比較 cliche 。
評分my mission is to make asian immigrants as sexy as ryan gosling. xD
評分很多移民故事的背後都有著不為人知的辛酸,希望Jimmy對待挫摺的方式能讓那些輸在起跑綫上的孩子不放棄自己的夢想。
評分Jian-Yang今年三月齣的新書,超級解壓的歡樂一讀。比Amy Schumer的自傳開懷多瞭。一定要買有聲書!因為是@FunnyAsianDude 自己讀的,還有紙質書裏沒有的improv! 收拾廚房聽完前四章,笑得我肚子痛!#Jimmy你普通話發音太差瞭
評分快餐娛樂。perspective>文筆。不愧是跟黑人文化學的英語。有些類比和用詞思路清奇十分絕妙。遺憾之處是結構不是特彆好、句子個彆重復、蜜汁黑人小學水平英語…甚至懷疑是否編輯故意。在吹diversity和freedom的美國,主流媒體少見他這種齣身和視角的非虛構敘事,本身就諷刺到可以笑齣聲。一本本可以充斥PC空喊的書,但他身為comedian,使瞭大部分勁on being genuinely funny,而不是on some PC bullshit。鼓掌。纔hbo常駐就敢齣自傳,換個privileged white dude絕對被罵得投奔忍者神龜,也是天時地利人和纔有這麼一本。經曆、性格、看問題角度,和喜劇寫作,he definitely has sth to offer。

評分我成长在中国,因为准备去美国留学,所以想通过这本书了解下美国的文化。对于Jimmy所受的歧视,理解的同时,我本人并没有太大的共鸣。你选择成为美国人,也就选择了这份责任。 反而,我却特别同情Jimmy的爸爸。尽管Jimmy现在在Hollywood小有名气了,但我知道,身为父亲的他,还...
