Eddie Huang aka The Human Panda Talks About Identity And Chews The Pork Fat With Stephen Colbert (Video)
Good stuff. We knew Eddie when he was “Fresh Off The Boat” with VICE. Now, he’s with ABC… still “Fresh…” But he has not forgotten where he came from – Taiwan or online – and he is going back (to VICELAND with a new show, “Huang’s World”). Watch Eddie talking with Stephen Colbert above and after the jump about all kinds of stuff – like them delicious-looking pork buns.
Fresh Off the Boat With Eddie Huang: Season 2 Bloopers And Outtakes (Video)
Like N.O.R.E. told you, “Mistakes is what makes things perfect.” – Eddie Huang
Well, would you look at that. Bonus footage… well, leftovers… from the freshly wrapped Season 2 of Fresh Off the Boat With Eddie Huang. Great Vice programming; and the boss (Shane Smith) even shows up in the clips above. If you’ve watched the episodes we’ve posted, you probably got a feel that Eddie is a balance of cool and kooky. Watch above and see how right you are.
Fresh Off the Boat With Eddie Huang: Chengdu (Video)
Part 1, Fresh Off The Boat in Chengdu, Eddie (a.k.a. the Human Panda) is at home with his ‘interracial’ fam (e.g. black and white pandas). Talking about and watching pandas. Don’t forget about the panda porn, either (what? yeah). Trekking Chengdu with Eddie and DJ SuperBestFriend (a.k.a. Rabbi), we experience traditions, food and culture… much of which is diminishing as time passes. After the jump, part 2 picks up with Eddie enjoying the fine Chinese living – chilling in the Dead Sea Resort, taking a refreshing salt burial, a dip in a big (translation: crowded) swimming pool, and later tasting on some baby pig penis (what? yeah). Then part 3 wraps with an exploration of Chengdu culture going forward: a look at Szechuan cooking from a master chef, a visit to the sculpture factory of a feature artist, a climb into a tree-house parlor for Taiwanese tea, and a round table discussion with different generations of Chinese to discuss cultural preservation as China moves forward and becomes open to the rest of the world.
Fantastic episode! Well worth the watch, as usual.

Ah, Great Britain. Ye old country. So much to do there, and Eddie is ‘Straight Off The Boat’ trying to do it. Another 3-part video episode. Above (part 1), we start in Brick Lane – where the Middle East meets the West. This East London community is now home to Turks, Jews, Bengalis and the food they eat… Cricket anyone (to play, not to eat… blechk)?

In part one, Eddie takes a shot of real Russian vodka, eats a real “communist dog” and chats up a real Black Russian (so to speak). In part two, Eddie goes deeper into Russian culture: learns what it was like to live under Soviet rule, moving forward to understand the issues that connect all people regardless of where they live. Wrapping with the part three of the Moscow episode, Eddie lives it up on $400 caviar, racing in a Russian street car, massages from babes in bikinis. You know, just Eddie doing Eddie.
Alright. This ep is worth the watch. See parts two and three after the jump.
