, and even gracefully maneuvered a public separation from her husband. But her latest effort is, as she describes it, the “most interesting” thing she’s ever done. That aforementioned lifelong anxiety about becoming unfunny has led her to lean into the fear and star in this intense, semi-autobiographical role.
Wong is pragmatic in how meticulously she has crafted her seemingly devil-may-care onstage persona. Now that her career has deviated once again, can she find happiness in taking an artistic leap of faith? She finds solace in a scene from the first episode ofin which her character puts her daughter to bed and spins a yarn about the mechanics of childbirth, explaining that she was so happy the day she brought her child into the world.
I’m still figuring it out. It’s really weird. Up until recently, my personal life was actually quite boring. That was a strange experience getting photographed in San Francisco. I’ve never had a paparazzi photo taken of me. I think it goes to show how unaccustomed people are with seeing an amicable divorce. Divorce gets such a bad rap, and people think it’s so ugly. When we said that we were lovingly co-parenting and focusing on the kids, we really meant it. That wasn’t just a statement.
But I am really delicate with Justin. The whole time we were married I would try stuff out at open mics and I would tell him, “I like it, I think it has legs, it’s getting laughs, but I won’t do it in front of a club audience if you don’t like it.” And he still to this day has ultimate veto power, because my relationship with him even post-divorce is more important than a two-minute bit. In my family, too, that’s really sensitive. I don’t generally talk about my family that much.
