When it comes to life in the U.S., Daily Show correspondent Ronny Chieng only knows chaos, he jokes.

Two weeks ago, I played with a flamethrower, Chieng said at HuffPosts New York office, laughing. Hes got his hair slicked to the side and sports a sharp gray suit to match his sharp-ass wit.

America is crazy, he definitively concludes.

The comedian has recently wrapped up a packed summer. During what many are calling Asian August , Chieng promoted both the history-making rom-com Crazy Rich Asians , in which he plays the status-infatuated, ultra-douchebag Eddie Cheng, as well as International Student , a sitcom based on his own experiences as an international student pursuing a law degree in Australia.

Clearly, hes managed to thrive in the madness. Hes had to, given the timing of his move to America.
