Cristela Alonzo – Using Joy as Resistance in “Upper Classy” | The Daily Show

From The Daily Show.

Comedian Cristela Alonzo sits down with Ronny Chieng to discuss comedy institutions, the American dream, and her new Netflix special, "Upper Classy." They talk about paying homage to comedy and participating in its evolution, using joy as an act of resistance, how politicians focus on the middle class and forget the lower class, and what she learned growing up in Texas with an undocumented mother. Plus, a special appearance from Ronny’s mom! #DailyShow #Netflix #CristelaAlonzo
