Giant Robot on TV

Giant Robot made it on TV yesterday on NBC in Los Angeles. They have lots of cool stuff and art like you see in the video. In the video, you see the two guys behind Giant Robot Eric Nakamura and Martin Wong. Props to them for being an early purveyor of Asian pop culture since 1994. If you’re near a Giant Robot store, be sure to check them out. You can find Giant Robot stores in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York. Giant Robot also holds Asian American events at their store too. If you’re not near a Giant Robot store, you can also look for their magazines here or at your local bookstore.

BTW – Giant Robot joins other fellow Asian Americans recently on TV including Kevjumba and Wong Fu Productions.

Comedian Danny Cho

You may recognize comedian Danny Cho from MadTV or as Kim Jong Il ( Kim Jong Il on Shoe Throwing, Kim Jong Il online dating, Girls on the Dance Floor featuring Kim Jong Il, and in the BaO Eat You Up parody.) Watch the video and learn more about how he got into comedy, on MadTV, and how his Kim Jong Il spoof blew up. Toward the end of the video he gives advice to other comics out there. Props to Steve Nguyen in the interview.

BTW – Danny Cho did a nice write up about Asian Americans In the Entertainment Industry here last month.
