'3 Body Problem' is currently the top trending show on Netflix, and I, for one, believe the sci-fi series deserves all the attention. I share what I love about it - along with Jeff Yang 🫶 FOLLOW ME @ORIGINALSPIN ON THREADS/IG, Glen Weldon & Cristina Escobar - on NPR's Pop Culture Happy Hour. npr.org/2024/03/28/119…

So excited to be on NPR PopCultureHappyHour chatting #3BodyProblem with Glen Weldon Kristen Meinzer +Cristina Escobar! I talk about being too hot for TV, why Benedict Wong should be Bond & the issue with having 3 in the title (“do I have to see 1 Body & 2 Body Problem first”)

This proved so incredibly prescient I may just be the fucking Kwisatz Haderach

Holy shit, more Shane Gillis “chink eruptions”—this time in reference to Andrew Yang🧢⬆️🇺🇸 FROM THIS PAST MAY. And throw in anti-Semitism to boot—he called him a “Jew chink”!

Is your fire-this-douchebag meter full yet Saturday Night Live - SNL, because the hits keep on coming

Wow. So it seems that Shane Gillis’s racist humor isn’t instinctual—it’s the product of *deep research* into the kinds of things racist white people want to laugh at.

Mock Asians and Muslim terrorists, HELL YEAH!

Police brutality? YOU’VE GONE TOO FAR

Let’s be clear here no one is ruining Shane Gillis’s career by calling him out for the racist, homophobic misogynist asshole he is, they’re just redirecting him toward a brand new future of opening for Louis CK

What “not helping” looks like

Sorry, Shane Gillis’s statement is not even an apology, it’s a voucher you can redeem for an apology if you feel like you’ve been hurt

It’s an apology Groupon

Here’s Shane Gillis offering up an “I’m sorry if you’re hurt but good comedy requires taking <dramatic pause> risks” apology

Because as history has shown nothing‘s more risky for a white dude than using racial slurs and mocking immigrants and the disabled

Nope these are being sent to me by people because apparently it’s not hard to find them, big boy

You know how, like cockroaches, if you see one of these racist eruptions there’s always more?

Here’s Shane Gillis mocking Asians and the disabled—first with a terrible accent, then by mourning how he looks like an Asian kid with Downs, or “leetard”

Fuck this guy. Using the slur “fucking chink” in the year 2018 and joking about how much he loves being racist, there’s no meaningful apology he can offer that won’t make every minute he’s on the air a cloud of death. He’s gotta go.

Like, we get the glittery golden stiletto heel of Bowen Yang’s awesomeness-fueled ascent to stardom, and then the other shoe drops, and it’s a shitkicker boot that’s been used to curbstomp Chinese restaurant delivery guys, oh yay

Yeah if you want to know what being a person of color is like, it’s literally that for every Bowen Yang-shaped step you take forward, you also take one racist-ass Shane Gillis-shaped step back

I’ve only seen one episode so far but I have reasonable hope the answer is AVATAR

In L.A., we're used to drought and bushfires — 'not this diabolical fluid falling from the sky,' writes Jeff Yang 🫶 FOLLOW ME @ORIGINALSPIN ON THREADS/IG cnn.com/2024/02/06/opi…

This is going to be EPIC. Come on out to JeffFest, Bay Area! We'll be talking about THE GOLDEN SCREEN, Bruce Lee, Asian American representation, and much, much more...plus, there'll be wine!

My latest for CNN Opinion takes a look at why @TaylorSwift13’s rise to ultimate girlboss should be taught in business schools.

These are Tay’s Eras, folks; we’re just living in them.

This is the moment when Ken Jeong gets all the shine he’s deserved as one of the hardest working, most generous people in the business of show. Ken, brother: I can’t wait to see all the many ways you’ll continue to surprise us all over the years to come. Love you man!
