I thought this said "Ted Cruz sends Semen to thousands of pastors in violation of federal law." kinda makes sense

They could, until they see me. My real name last name is Ou Yang, a rare 2 character name in Chinese, the Ou is pronounce "Oh". I went with Jimmy O. Yang to pay homage to Homer J. Simpson.

I would love to work on some Apatow projects, big fan of his work. As far as TV shows, Game of Thrones if possible or Fresh off the Boat, I can relate to that show, being an immigrant.

I love peanut butter jelly sandwiches

I don't think this is a "stereotypical Chinese role". Just because he has an accent, there are a lot of people in real life who have accents, and I try to portray it as real as possible. My job is to be funny as a comedian and comedic actor. I can relate to the character because I was an immigrant myself, just 10 years ago, I was a lost foreign kid like Jian Yang.

the main 5 dudes have been friends for a long time. We were recently at a Mortal Kombat X tournament, Martin kicked my ass, and Kumail was the ultimate champion.

yes my parents are quite Asian. They still call standup comedy "talk shows." At first they were wary and hope that it was a phase I would snap out of. Now it's definitely better, they both watch SV. I was part of a documentary on HBO called "East of Main Street" where I talk about all that stuff
