Standup comic, actor and fan favorite from HBO's Silicon Valley and the film Crazy Rich Asians shares his memoir of growing up as a Chinese immigrant in California and making it in Hollywood. "I turned down a job in finance to pursue a career in stand-up comedy. My dad thought I was crazy. But I figured it was better to disappoint my parents for a few years than to disappoint myself for the rest of my life. I had to disappoint them in order to pursue what I loved. That was the only way to have my Chinese turnip cake and eat an American apple pie too." Jimmy O. Yang is a standup comedian, film and TV actor and fan favorite as the character Jian Yang from the popular HBO series Silicon Valley. In How to American, he shares his story of growing up as a Chinese immigrant who pursued a Hollywood career against the wishes of his parents: Yang arrived in Los Angeles from Hong Kong at age 13, learned English by watching BET RapCity for three hours a day, and worked as a strip club DJ while pursuing his comedy career. He chronicles a near deportation episode during a college trip Tijuana to finally becoming a proud US citizen ten years later. Featuring those and many other hilarious stories, while sharing some hard-earned lessons, How to American mocks stereotypes while offering tongue in cheek advice on pursuing the American dreams of fame, fortune, and strippers.Binding Type: Paperback

Sleek, professional look, goes well with blue and grey stuff! Probably dark suits too.
I might not like wearing ties (I do not), but sometimes, I get roped into having to go somewhere and slip on a tie... I really try to keep ye ole wardrobe very simplistic. Grey and a blue blazer. I have a couple of
"fancy" suits, but I try to avoid wearing them...
Then, when I do, I want them to look sharp, and a nice tie will help to bring it all together as they say!
This is a very sharp looking tie, and it blends in great with my grey and blue outfits.
Sure it is a tie, but being that it looks so sharp, and just perfectly matches the outfits? I love it.
Five Stars!

Cheap Polyester Tie
I’m not sure there is such thing as a “premium” polyester but the fabric feels rather cheap and the width of the tie is rather thin. Probably good for a kid to use, but I wouldn’t use this for work or business and would apply the moved saved trying to get a cheap tie into a nicer silk tie.
Pros:
- Inexpensive
Cons:
- Cheap polyester fabric
- Narrow width

Timeless Elegance for Every Occasion!
This necktie is the perfect blend of classic style and modern sophistication. The solid color and subtle stripe design make it versatile enough for both business meetings and weddings. The fabric feels high-quality and has a nice weight to it, ensuring it drapes beautifully without slipping out of place. It pairs well with a variety of shirt colors and suit styles, making it a fantastic addition to any wardrobe. The craftsmanship is evident, and it has held up well after multiple uses and washes. Highly recommend this tie for anyone looking to elevate their formal attire!
