The Hossan Leong Show

We worked through a sleepy Mon­day after­noon try­ing to find a rhyming word for Lau Sai, to be put into one of six orig­i­nal songs writ­ten (or in the process of being writ­ten) for the show.

As the flyer says, The Hos­san Leong Show is a tv show that’s not on tv, because there are just too many things you can’t say or do on air.

Like the joke Hos­san told me (just to break the ten­sion — writ­ing com­edy is stress­ful busi­ness) about the Japan­ese tourist who goes on hol­i­day in the States and goes to a money changer to con­vert his yen into dol­lars and is dis­turbed to find that he gets fewer dol­lars than he expects.

“Why so lit­tle ne?”, he asks, to which the help­ful money changer explains that it’s due to “fluctuations”.

Shocked, he yells at the money changer, “Well, fluck you Amel­i­cans too”.
