How a variety talk show with one of the oddest hosting pairings became one of the most successful in the Chinese language entertainment scene. Synopsis: How Did We Get Here is a new scripted series under the #PopVultures banner, which will take a look in each episode about a celebrity, a band or the cast of a movie or film that made an impact on Asian entertainment and how they got to where they are now. If you follow Chinese-language entertainment, there is a good chance you have heard of the variety series Kang Xi Lai Le, also known as Mr Con & Ms Csi or Kangxi Coming.  The light-hearted Taiwanese talk show, which ran from 2004 till 2016, is easily one of the most successful talk shows of all time in Chinese-language entertainment - a staple of Taiwanese television that continues to make people laugh even eight years after the end of its run. The show began as a wacky experiment, by pairing the intellectual and cultured Kevin Tsai and the wild, funny Dee Hsu as hosts in one programme. Their chemistry was magic and the show consistently maintained high ratings throughout its run.  Not only was it a hot spot for celebrities to come on and promote themselves and their projects, the show even attracted personalities like politicians - former Taiwan president Ma Ying-jeou and social commentator, critic and historian Li Ao.  Even with its varied line-up of guests, the hosts never switched up their style - a mix of inane and sometimes raunchy questions about underwear and farts, lots of banter and good-natured mocking.  Now, 20 years after its debut and eight years after its last of close to 3,000 episodes aired, its legacy and impact remain - with some clips of the show going viral even today. Many fans are still clamouring for the show to make a comeback. #PopVultures host Jan Lee discusses exactly how we got here.

In this laughter-infused episode of And Now We Drink, host Matt Slayer welcomes actor and comedian Hank Chen for a candid and wildly entertaining conversation, spanning the spectrum of work ethics, entertainment industry ins and outs, and the intersection of SW and mainstream careers. Hank shares tales from his path to acting, opening up about the challenges and nuances of being a gay Asian man in the limelight. With his special "I'm Not Supposed to Be Here" as a backdrop, Hank reflects on personal narratives, representation, and breaking barriers both on and off the screen.  The discussion takes surprising turns as they explore themes of identity, faith, the volatility of acting careers, and even a stint about Hank's time in a Christian college.  Topping off the episode, the conversation saunters into personal anecdotes, past relationship dynamics, and a captivating discussion on spirituality—or the lack thereof—in their lives.

Hank Chen (Laugh Factory, Home Again, Life-Size 2) comes by the yard to discuss the new Billy Eichner movie "Bros," but the result is an evisceration of acting schools and what faculty and staff are doing wrong to prepare actors for a career in show business. Comparing their experiences at NYU graduate school and The Actor's Studio, they discuss their disappointing experiences as well as the frustration in the acting world that led them to pursue a career in standup comedy. In particular, Bill discusses why he believes many acting schools like NYU are a scam. Finally, they get to the seminal movie "Bros" and why it's simultaneously great and groundbreaking and also a huge whiff at the film market.
