Holy recognition! I am so stoked to be one Complex.com’s 25 Funny People Who Should Get Their Own TV Show! What an awesome shout out – and some of my fave comedians are on there as well, including Kristen Schaal, Aziz Ansari, Hannibal Buress, and Skinny Bitch Jesus Meeting.

They had such nice things to say about me:

Kwok uses her instrument to create a charming veneer that allows her to talk about race and sex in a deceptively frank way you don’t often see often enough.

Aww, shucks!

New Blog About Being a Bride!

jenkwok — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 04:31:03 +0000

Hey guys! As some of you may (or may not) know, I got engaged this past May (2011) and will be getting married this May (2012).

And…I’ve started a new blog about being a bride and wedding planning and all that stuff from my cynical, yet sentimental, curse-filled perspective:

Spike Lee Vodka and Orient Apple Vodka: It’s the Same Vodka!

jenkwok — Wed, 27 Jul 2011 13:05:03 +0000

OK, Absolut – what happened here?

Last summer, you did a “Spike Lee Collaboration” and created this delicious ginger/apple-flavored Absolut Brooklyn:

Spike Lee's vodka.

THIS summer we have a “new” Absolut vodka called Orient Apple:

Asian people vodka.

Whoa. IT’S THE SAME THING!!!

Brooklyn = Old Boy?

Apparently, Spike Lee + Oriental flavors = Product co-opted by the Swedes for mass consumption:

White lady slays the dragon.

WTF – JORDANA BREWSTER?! The chick from Fast & Furious? …because she was in a movie with Asians in it?

I can’t wait for a line of Tyler Perry-designed gongs at Ikea modeled by Eva Mendes (Fast & Furious 2).

C’mon, Absolut!
