Daily Show Correspondent Ronny Chieng Flips the TV Pilot Script
His pilot is one of six competing in the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's "Comedy Showcase."
At 9:30 p.m. this Wednesday night in Australia, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation made available on its iView service six specially commissioned TV pilots. One of them, Ronny Chieng: International Student, is by The Daily Show correspondent of the same name. It will be competing for the public’s votes along with five others, with the most popular entry to be turned into a full series.
From a report by The Guardian’s Elle Hunt:
International Student is Chieng’s first production as co-creator, co-writer and star and is informed by his years as a student from Malaysia at the University of Melbourne, where part of the show was filmed.
