Ng is best known for his comedic alter ego Uncle Roger, representing a middle-aged Asian uncle clerogermerch.com)
who speaks with a pronounced and exaggerated Cantonese accent and prides himself on various
East and Southeast Asian stereotypes.[14][20] His podcast partner Evelyn Mok came up with the Nigel Ng
middle-aged Asian uncle character for a sitcom with Ng in mind, and Ng further developed the
Traditional Chinese 黃瑾瑜
character on TikTok and Instagram sketches before moving the character onto YouTube.[21][22][23]
Simplified Chinese 黄瑾瑜
In July 2020, Ng attracted attention for an Uncle Roger video critiquing Hersha Patel's BBC Food Transcriptions
video on cooking egg-fried rice.[24] After the video went viral, Ng and Patel appeared on BBC Food
Standard Mandarin
together[25] and collaborated on a YouTube video.[26] In August, he spent a day working in
Hanyu Pinyin Huáng Jǐnyú
Elizabeth Haigh's restaurant, Mei Mei. The following month, he posted a critique video with
regards to Gordon Ramsay's fried rice and praised Ramsay for having correct technique.[27] He has Yue: Cantonese
released numerous videos critiquing Jamie Oliver's versions of popular Asian dishes like egg fried Jyutping Wong4 Gan2-jyu4
rice,[28] Thai green curry,[21] and ramen.[29] Southern Min
Hokkien POJ N̂ g Kín-jû
Ng was a special guest on second season of MasterChef Singapore in 2021,[30] and a guest judge on
the third season of Junior MasterChef Indonesia in 2022.[31] That same year, he was a guest diner
on the 21st season of Hell's Kitchen.[32]

On 22 May 2023, it was reported that Ng's Chinese social media accounts (Bilibili and Weibo)[33] had been closed down in response to perceived
criticism of China's government in his stand-up comedy special for the phrase "this Nephew using Huawei phone, they all listening",[34] implying
that the Chinese government eavesdrops on civilian phone calls.

On 11 September 2024, Ng launched his first restaurant “Fuiyoh! It’s Uncle Roger” at Pavilion Kuala Lumpur.[35] On 14 September 2024, as a
promotion event for his new restaurant, Ng convened his followers to dress as Uncle Roger outside there. This event broke the Guinness World
Record for "Largest gathering of people dressed as Uncle Roger" with 388 participants. On the same day, he broke another Guinness World
Record for "Most fried rice tossed and caught with a ladle in 30 seconds".[36][37] He mentioned that he had plans to expand in Asia and then
further into Western countries such as Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States.[38]

Reception

Positive
Ng won the Amused Moose Laugh-Off 2016 and was runner-up in the Laughing Horse New Act of the Year 2015. He was also a finalist in the
Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year (2016) and Leicester Square New Comedian of the Year (2015).[39][40] He was nominated for the "Best
Newcomer Award" for his stand-up comedy show at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2019.[41][42][43]

Negative
The accent Ng uses for the Uncle Roger character has received criticism for perpetuating negative stereotypes about Asians.[19][21][44][45] Chef J.
Kenji López-Alt (who is of Japanese descent) said, "I don't like that [Ng's] schtick seems to give a free pass to people to imitate stereotypical Asian
speech patterns and pronunciation, especially as it's almost always non-Asians doing the imitating. It's ugly, it's yellowface, it's not funny, and it
promotes anti-Asian racism at a time when Asians are already being heavily discriminated against."[21][46] In response, Ng has said that it
highlights the difference in the perception of Asian stereotypes between Asians living in Asia and Asian-Americans.[21] His critique video of
Patel's egg-fried rice has been described as making the viewers "fall for every cultural 'trap' his character sets", overlooking the differences of rice
cooking methods in Indian cuisine, and turning East and Southeast Asians into "rice-cooking supremacists" with his "faux encouragement".[47]

On 12 January 2021, Ng apologized on the Chinese social media platform Weibo and deleted a video featuring fellow YouTuber Mike Chen,[48]
who had been critical of the Chinese Communist Party and had also been associated with the ultra-conservative movement Falun Gong.[49] He
stated, "This video has made a bad social impact... I wasn't aware of his political thoughts and his past incorrect remarks about China. I hope you
can give Uncle Roger, who has just entered China, a chance to improve!"[50] His response attracted criticism on Twitter.[51] In his first subsequent
video as Uncle Roger, he said he would "keep making funny videos [...] no politics, no drama".[14][52]

On 30 July 2023, Ng stated in an Uncle Roger video, "Not all Southeast Asia has good food. You don't want food from Laos and Cambodia." He
also jokingly called Laotian food an inferior version of Thai food, causing criticism and backlash from both Laotian and Cambodian communities.
In a response video to Laotian chef Ae Southammavong challenging him to try Laotian food she had cooked, Ng accepted the challenge and
explained his comments by saying, "All the Laos food I had so far... not my favourite. Asian people criticizing other Asian people is just a way of
life."[53] Cambodia's Ministry of Tourism issued a statement condemning Ng's remarks as damaging to the image of its cuisine and demanding an
apology.[54] The Embassy of Malaysia in Phnom Penh distanced Malaysia from Ng's remarks, saying that "[t]hey do not in any way reflect our
view".[55]

Ng has stated that he does not want any of his viewers to spread hate towards anyone.[56]

Personal life
Ng lived in the Hammersmith district of London.[14][57] In 2020, he discussed being the victim of an anti-Asian assault while living there.[57][58]
