Many of us take literacy and comprehension for granted. It's a big problem in SA. Those of us who appreciate books, will spend it on the privilege of education, ie reading.
Andreas karlsson it’s because when she mentions a part of her book like “my husband wrote a section in my book” Trevor responses by pointing out a detail in the section she mentions
And the white male wins while everyone else waste time talking about them. Funny how this video becomes about white men. I'm sure that's what they wanted.
@S W what privilege you talk about? the fact what white male is most successful group through history? what they was most smart and stronger than anyone else? this privilege? it's not fucking privilege it's hard work and pain.
@@freelikeyve you really should learn history.especially 20th century, ww1,ww2 etc. the only reason why white men not single handedly rule the world - is the other white men. we are stronger and smarter than all other groups combine. the modern world is successful because of white men. in countries like Germany you now can live even without working just for state allowance, lol. can you imagine this in 13th century? or any other? say thanks to white men for what.
@Viper 47 you just offered yourself up as an example of how anti-blackness exists amongst all races. The idea that Asians just work harder ignores racism and colorism. Proliferating the model minority myth doesn't help Asians either. There are a lot of complicated things at play, but insinuating other races struggle because they don't work hard is bullshit. Also, in many places like New York, Asians make up the highest percentage of those in poverty. Poor, "unsuccessful" people are usually very hard working- many times more than successful people.
Vincent hey bb. From the Chinese Exclusion Act and red taping, to the dangerous “model minority” perception, it is safe to say, yes Asian Americans are disadvantaged in the United States (in comparison to who though, you didn’t mention? I’m going to assume white people, as you compared them in another response) In fact, in NYC where this was filmed, Asian Americans have the highest poverty rate. Also, those percentages you used which minimize the impact of systematic and social racism, are incorrect.

Two tips: If you have glasses with metal frames, you can bend the frame so the glasses "hug" you more. There is also a bees wax product witch you put behind your ears to "glue" the glasses to your head :)
This is purposefully done, oversized frames give the aesthetic. High quality expensive eyewear gives the functionality or fit you are talking about, and she has the money for it is all.
Such a great interview. Trevor is literally the best interviewer on any comedy show right now. Good questions, good pace, and very genuine, I loooooove it.
I didn’t expect to feel a little chocked up when Ali talked about the story behind writing her book. I would love to read letters from how my parents survived life.
I was super pregnant for my first and only time when her first special came out and so much of what I experienced before and during was extremely relevant. I’m super inspired by the idea of writing letters to my daughter. Massive respect Ali🙏
@@jcwynn4075 "everyone knows that in history there has always been a success story if you're female and minority at the same time in a combination of recipe for success. female and minority combination wins y'all!" -not Ali Wong
Ali has always been a woman role model for me. She has shown me that if you want something you just go get it, and I really needed that a few years ago, as well as now.
This is a great interview, I love how Trevor cares and is invested in who he talks to. Happy this audience recognizes how funny and talented she is too! Complete opposite of that Ellen interview...
You know what stands out about Trevor as an interviewer? He genuinely listens when the guest is talking and isn't just trying to get through talking points. It makes the conversation flow so much more naturally. And I really appreciate that he actually reads the book when he has an author on. It's obvious from how he references specific points and can add to parts their bringing up that his writers aren't just feeding him this information.
Love her!! Need more fearless female comics like her because women need to tell their stories-our lives can really be hilarious and it’s important for men to hear them!!
Thanks to Netflix I do watch a bit a few of these shows and Ali Wong has probably been one of my favorites so far, she's awesome and loved her in this interview too, Trevor did not have to work hard for this one, she pretty much ran the show here and with a personality like her it works so well! :D He could just throw his feet up on the table and enjoy the show! Awesome shit! :D Just sad that the world is once again moving backwards... I'm honestly scared for the future right now. :(
Douchebag Comedian: You get all this attention bc you’re both a female and a minority. Ali: Yeah cuz you know historically that’s always been the winning combo for recognition and success. The accuracy 😂👌🏻
Homer Simpson Read the comment carefully and slowly. I was talking about the specials and I said right now. Btwy Jo Koi recently sold out the forum in L.A. and is going to Radio City Music Hall. Their career arc will determine their greatness.
@@homersimpson5964 so let me understand here. Your inference from my original comment is a clearer statement of my opinion than that original comment and it's subsequent clarification?
So crazy she's a movie star now! I saw her at the Cobb comedy club in San Francisco about 10 years ago. She was the littlest person I had ever seen on a stage to who wasn't a child🤣
5:20 "you think about that, and it ah..." Her mouth pulls into the side and you know there was some really rapy situation that she is glossing over right there.
i must admit i never heard of ali wong. i know the keanu reeves clip of the movie. but nothing more. thanks to youtube and this clip of the daily show ( not able to watch the show otherwise ) i now want to see more of her. just because she seems genuine funny. also i don´t get why people argue about if or if not trevor reads all the books, because he has no time.. he is on the road so much next to the show.. well i think they plan ahead of who comes to the show.. so there would be enough time for someone who loves to read to actually read all the books the guest present when he is on the road. when he has done the stand up show..after the afterparty is over he is in his hotel room,maybe he watches a movie OR he reads a book. ... his book is easy to read because it is written as a story he wants to tell..so no complication because of fact or explanation ..i think most of the guests books are the same. for me as you may have noticed , english is my second language but i could read trough it with ease so it did not take me more than 2 nights to read it from cover to cover. so i think he really reads all the books :)
I just love how the conversation about sexism has changed so much over the past 10 years. Like, most of what Ali said in here, would have been "controversial" or "man-hating" if she said it on a talk show back in 2009. Or people would have just ignored it or pretended it was a "one-case thing" (the experiences and struggles she faced).
After listening to her audio book makes me want to write a book to my kids... she reads it too so you hear it the way she means it, and I find that's kinda rare
I definitely love trevor more than ellen. ellen is condescending and judgemental to guests that she invited on her show. Trevor tries to understand people and listen. He's just a good host cause he knows how to make people comfortable around him.
I relate to your feelings guys... Can’t believe Ellen told Sofía Vergara that her English grew actually worse since last time she was a guest. That’s passive aggressive. Besides in her tv show she has to exagerate, the more broken her accent, the most successful she is. Ellen is going to be left behind everybody working in her team.
I watched her 1st special and laughed my ass off. And then went for Hard Knock Wife, it was still funny as hell but I swear to you she scared me mentally with all those delivery and post delivery body stories. I even considered being alright without giving birth. LMAO
Trevor is one of the few hosts that actually reads the books

How do you know? Or are you just assuming?
Andreas karlsson it’s because when she mentions a part of her book like “my husband wrote a section in my book” Trevor responses by pointing out a detail in the section she mentions
Not convinced. He might read parts of the book, but he definitely gets help through an earpiece.
@@lids5330 Yes but how do you know other hosts don't read their guests' work?
I really like that as a host, Trevor genuinely seems to know the content of her book and engages in a discussion that’s less superficial
He's always prepared, that's why I love him.
In the beginning he seemed a little shy, that’s really sweet... ☺️
Can we all take a minute and admit how very much we love her hairstyle?!
I was just thinking that! It's so cute!
It’s almost like she made Mickey ears with her updo!
Yup.
look´s like a 12 year old :p ugly and so bad ;) IMO - suck it :p
Holy crap yes, it's really great!
Man: you have it so easy being a woman and a minority
Ali: yeah because historically that’s always been a winning combo
@S W White privilege is still a problem. The white people that whine about it are just mad they can't skirt away anymore as if nothing is going on.
And the white male wins while everyone else waste time talking about them. Funny how this video becomes about white men. I'm sure that's what they wanted.

Watch the fix on Netflix. It's a comedy show but they have real stats about different problems and you can see how is for asians in America ;)
@Viper 47 that is not a disadvantage. A small population having a small presence is just proportionate.

Agree!
Yes!!!
Trevor is the most unfunny carbon based lifeform in the most Milkyway
@@adamski8985 I doubt it.
She is so gorgeous. I need a glasses fitting with her bc her glasses are always on point! never loose or sliding down!

Than watch him be on his show.
@@lking1540 who was it?
@@Supersaiyan1309-k5g who knows?
I love Trevor!!! He always seems like he genuinely cares about anyone who is featured on his show and he always asks the right questions 👍
Such a great interview. Trevor is literally the best interviewer on any comedy show right now. Good questions, good pace, and very genuine, I loooooove it.
Whenever Ali talks about her dad I always start to tear up. You can just tell how much love she has for him 💕
She is so extremely talented. I absolutely love her!!
And she works so hard to maintain and improve her talent
@@Its_Jess00 I am sure she does. You are so right.
I like her interview with Trevor more than I like her interviews with Ellen.
No shade to Ellen, but this interview just flows better.
I felt like there was a lot of tension when Ellen interviewed Ali, somehow their style of comedy clashed.
@@MusicforMe123 Nah, it's just that Ellen is a trash human being and Trevor is intelligent, warm and personable lol
Yes agreed!
I didn’t expect to feel a little chocked up when Ali talked about the story behind writing her book. I would love to read letters from how my parents survived life.
Props to Trevor for actually reading Ali’s book.
Cin He could be lying lol

"men can read the book too, trevor!!"
beautiful.
Cute? Not even. She's gorgeous. And one of the funniest comedians going. She makes me laugh from my toes up. And that hair do, holy moley!
Omg her hair is too cute
I want those glasses. I love her sass. She says things in the most hilarious way.

"Historically that's always been the winning combo!" Hilarious Ali, I'm a big fan of both movies & standups :)
Finally i wanted her to be here fo so long. And finally shes here. Love her. Love u trevor.
Noah is such a smart host. He doesn't just passively listen to his guests. He actually engages them. It's impressive
"Be a better white guy!" HILARIOUS 😂🤣 😅🥰😝🤩😍😎🤓

Ladida.....me too.... "you're cute, but you're not that cute"! She is adorable and speaks comedic truth about women!

@@sanctusignis9746 Not THAT bad. haha I'm about to switch to improv!

I will watch and read anything and everything she does! Shes amazing
I love Ali Wong. Baby Cobra was my #1 favorite comedy special of 2016. And that Netflix movie she did was a super cute romcom.
Absolutely love this woman. She is one of the top comedians right now. Her specials are as rewatchable as Chappelle’s, Burr’s or Jo Koi’s.
Are you seriously putting Jokoy and Wong in the same presence as Burr and Chapelle? I bet you think Taylor Swift is a good musician too.

I don't know why I'm focusing on how Trevor holds Ali's hand so gently at the end
I'll comeback after watching her comedy and the movie she stars in.
I live in Europe and I loved all 3. Expecially the first stand up
Relatable, have a nice day.
Although I've already watched one standup special of hers, and it's so good!
She's friggin hilarious. 🤣
She is sooooo good. i only recent found her and I love her comedy and her personality is just so chill.
Ali Wong approved for us gentlemen let's go buy it lol.
no, she was reminding Trevor to not reduce the potential audience of her book down to just women.
My top two comedians one the same show?!?!
“Be a better white guy!!”
Funny
Easier said than done.
She's a darling. RESPECT
I watched her 1st special and laughed my ass off. And then went for Hard Knock Wife, it was still funny as hell but I swear to you she scared me mentally with all those delivery and post delivery body stories. I even considered being alright without giving birth. LMAO
These are 2 of my favorite people...I love it

Two of my very successful, and favorite screen personalities.❤
Will miss Trevor supremely, but wish him continued success.❤
