Just pitched for my very first time in a real-life writers' room...and they took not one, but TWO, out of my three pitches (!!!) What is this...feeling!?! Literally the best start to the #LunarNewYear possible 🐯❤️😭🙏🏼 Reeling and grateful... #screenwriting #writerlife

[Gene Wang @genewangwrites]

No—no we don’t. @SenSchumer when you already sound like you’re preemptively apologizing, what does that tell you?

Listen to the actual people you’re PROFESSING to protect

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

Donald Trump and Elon Musk want a shutdown to destroy vital government services faster.

It would be a disaster.

And we have to alert everyone how much pain it would cause the American people.

From my interview on @AllInWithChris:

[Gene Wang @genewangwrites]

@SenSchumer They already have the keys, and will do so regardless. You're falling for their bluff. Of course Elon's going to say he wants this—he's a troll. CALL THEIR BLUFF. They need to finally face some CONSEQUENCES for their actions. Do not blow this.

[Gene Wang @genewangwrites]

[RogerEbert.com @ebertvoices]

INTERIOR CHINATOWN is "a visceral and biting satire of the minuscule and stereotypical roles Asian Americans had to play in American television while being an engaging neo-noir comedy."

@LACountyRRCC @JonDHerd @USPS @ABC7 I dropped off my ballot in the mail on Tue 10/15, for pickup 10/16. It’s been 2 weeks and I haven’t gotten anything from @ballottrax. Getting anxious as I’m traveling for a wedding on Election Day. Any recourse here @LACountyRRCC ? Thx in advance

Industry should be a lesson to networks that audiences grow and patience can pay off.

In Appalachia, our cultural foods have evolved in the way that they have because our ancestors were poor and starving. Poor, white southerners ate foods that were cheap and calorically-dense. This is why we now eat biscuits and gravy, grits, and local vegetables cooked in leftover animal fats.

They were lucky to have had things like flour and grease to make gravy. My grandparents regularly only had this to eat, and even then, the food was scarce.

Cuisine that has evolved from poverty is not exclusive to another race or another country. Americans, Europeans, white people in general — have all struggled with poverty, and many of our cultures adapted and survived eating scraps, like these people are doing now. You are not genetically superior because you are blessed with abundant resources. You are lucky to have been born into the abundant wealth that America has today. Using these peoples’ suffering as evidence that Haitian immigrants are an inferior people is mind-blowingly cruel and ignorant.

If you want to look down on Haitian immigrants because people in their homeland are starving, then I guess you should deport all of us in Appalachia and plenty of southerners whose ancestors worked hard but still spent years doing things like this to SURVIVE.

You are the entitled elite that republicans claim to hate so much.

she was absolutely tryna not to say “this mothafucka” 🙄

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

Kamala and all of America fighting the urge to call him a piece of sh*t.

[Gene Wang @genewangwrites]

I appreciate the sentiment of letting Chinese Taipei enter under "T" for Taiwan instead of “C”—but I woulda been even MORE amused if they'd made China come in as "West Taiwan” 🤣😉🇹🇼 #Olympics #Paris2024

[Gene Wang @genewangwrites]

That finale saved the season #theboys #theboysfinale

[Gene Wang @genewangwrites]

is akin to dissolving a startup after its initial launch. It's WILD. Even just from a personnel or HR standpoint—think about the morale. No one would ever work for startups if that were the risk assessment. Plus they give SEVERANCE. Not a concept that exists in television

[Gene Wang @genewangwrites]

Studios & networks should start thinking of every new show as a startup. It literally is—it's a whole new company, from the Showrunner down. Most startups are NOT perfect or profitable from Year 1. It takes time. The team learns, grows, adapts. Cancelling a show after one season

[Gene Wang @genewangwrites]

@chikakoart Look how beautiful it looks!! 😍

[Gene Wang @genewangwrites]

@mikeytaing @hulu @JimmyOYang_ yeah Mike!!

The world ain’t ready 🤓🤓🤓🤓

[DiscussingFilm @DiscussingFilm]

First look at ‘INTERIOR CHINATOWN’, releasing November 19 on Hulu.

The series follows a background actor in a procedural cop show who becomes witness to an actual crime.

Starring Jimmy O. Yang, Ronny Chieng and Chloe Bennet.

[Gene Wang @genewangwrites]

SO WEIRD 🤣 hopefully in a good way 😉

[Lizzie 🩷💛🩵 @lizziethat]

Hulu's #InteriorChinatown is weird, fun (it's also very, very different) and such a great showcase for Asian and Asian-American talent. #TCA24

[Gene Wang @genewangwrites]

Late to this but the finale of HBO’s The Sympathizer was incredibleeeee?!! 🤯 @sympathizerhbo

[Gene Wang @genewangwrites]

@AndrewAhnFilms hahahaha 🖖🏼

[Gene Wang @genewangwrites]
