Nigel Ng is a Malaysian comedian best known as Uncle Roger, the loud, loving, MSG-pilled internet character he created in 2020 after a particularly bad BBC fried rice video. The character has since racked up 27 million followers across YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and Threads, and a few Guinness World Records along the way. His debut cookbook, Don't Mess Up Your Rice, lands November 3, 2026 — 70 authentic Asian recipes with a foreword by Gordon Ramsay. Pre-order it here. Off-screen, he runs two restaurant concepts: Kawan by Uncle Roger in London, and FUIYOH! It's Uncle Roger in Malaysia.
