Joe Wong: Out of Place
Wong moved to Boston in 2001 and began to perform his comedy at All Asia Bar, at Stash's Comedy Jam. Although he had won numerous awards, he did not attract American nationwide attention until after his appearance on Late Show with David Letterman on April 17, 2009.[3] His multiple appearances on TV, courtesy of Ellen DeGeneres, boosted his reputation further. On February 10, 2010, Wong made his second appearance on the Late Show,[4][5] and appeared again on March 30, 2012. He returned to the Late Show with Stephen Colbert on December 14, 2018.
On St. Patrick’s Day, 2010, he headlined the annual dinner hosted by the Radio and Television Correspondents' Association.[6][7] On June 19, 2010, he placed first in the Third Annual Great American Comedy Festival.
In 2013, he moved back to Beijing, hosting television shows, such as Is it true? (Chinese: 是真的吗?), a MythBusters-like program, on China Central Television.

Comedian Joe Wong, the ultimate immigrant-next-door, tackles some burning questions in his new hour of standup comedy. Is he legal? How do immigrants navigate life in America, from friendship to marriage and fatherhood? And let's not forget the constitutional right to pursue happiness: money, power, and more importantly sex, drugs, and rock'n roll. Embarrassment haunts outsiders often, but Joe Wong discovers a way to handle any embarrassing situation: to make it even more embarrassing.
