Top Ten Asian Comedians of All Time

By David Fung, MakeitintheMotherland.com

For the past few decades, steady progress has been made in one of the last frontiers of Asian American occupation: the entertainment industry.  More recently, things seem to be approaching a tipping point – with Asian comedians boldly leading the way.  Comedy has the unique ability to bring audiences across racial barriers to come together and is the first genre to experience breakthroughs.  Asian comedians are beginning to get more leading and supporting roles in Hollywood, with increasing diversity in characters.  The internet has been crucial in the discovery and dissemination of new Asian comics, allowing some to cater entirely to Asian audiences and sustain a career.  The Asian comedians on this list range from the goofy, to the nerdy, to the intelligent and everything in between.  Some play to the mainstream, others to ethnic niches or both.  But they all have one thing in common: in an Asian American entertainment scene where the odds are stacked against you, the following ten comics have left their mark.

Finally, an entertaining chain Facebook status movement has managed to grab my attention. Instead of the usual “support-this-cause-that-only-assholes-would-be-against” and the random spam (thanks a lot Mob Wars) I usually find on my friend feed, this week is:

Doppelgänger week on Facebook; change your profile picture to some one famous (actor, musician, athlete, etc.) you have been told you look like. After you update your profile with your twin or switched at birth photo then cut/paste this to your status.

To see who my friends think they look like has been a real delight. Of course the self-annointed resemblances ranges from the eerily similar to totally self-flattering variety, I noticed that very few of my Asian friends are partaking in the fun.

Unfortunately, this is just illustrating the thin list of famous (Asian-American) actors, musicians, and celebrities for us to Doppelgänger-out on.

Otherwise we’d just give in to the “you all look alike” stereotype by all having either Lucy Liu, Yan-Can-Cook, and Bruce Lee as our profile pictures.

Instead, I thought it’d be funner to just make a mockery of this Doppelgänger week.
