Helen Hong

A fan favorite on NPR’s Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me, Helen Hong is also the quick-witted host of the celebrity trivia podcast Go Fact Yourself. You’ve seen her steal scenes on Never Have I Ever, Silicon Valley, The Thundermans (5 seasons strong!), and the Netflix holiday hit Family Switch with Jennifer Garner.

A veteran touring comic, Helen’s special Well Hong—co-produced by Comedy Dynamics and the Tribeca Film Festival—is now streaming on Amazon Prime and Apple TV+. Known for her razor-sharp crowd work, she keeps fans laughing (and guessing) on Instagram and TikTok @funnyhelenhong.

A breast cancer survivor, Helen brings humor to her journey (and her “brand new boobies”) while also shining a spotlight on Asian-American experiences through her family’s YouTube channel, Old Korean Dad Stories.

Pro tip: show up with a Topo Chico and a mini Snickers bar, and you’ll win her heart for life.
