Ali Wong has been one of Netflix’s breakout comedians, having garnered critical acclaim for her 2016 and 2018 specials Baby Cobra and Hard Knock Wife. And now, Wong is coming back to the streamer with her third special, Don Wong.

In the special, which was filmed in November at the Count Basie theater in New Jersey, Wong “reveals her wildest fantasies, the challenges of monogamy, and how she really feels about single people.”

Ali Wong: Don Wong drops on Netflix February 14th.

After graduating from college, 23-year-old Wong tried stand-up comedy at Brainwash Cafe. She soon moved to New York City to pursue comedy, and began to perform up to nine times a night.

In 2011, Variety named her one of the “10 Comics to Watch”. Soon after, she appeared on The Tonight Show, John Oliver’s New York Stand Up Show and Dave Attell’s Comedy Underground Show. She was also cast as series regular in the NBC comedy series Are You There, Chelsea? and appeared on Chelsea Lately. After that, she was in VH1’s Best Week Ever and MTV’s Hey Girl in 2013. Additionally, she starred in Oliver Stone’s Savages, opposite Benicio Del Toro and Salma Hayek, and as Kate in the film Dealin’ with Idiots.

Ali Wong will join Amazon’s Paper Girls series, based on Brian K. Vaughan and Cliff Chiang’s graphic novel.

She will join series leads Sofia Rosinksy, Camryn Jones, Riley Lai Nelet and Fina Strazza. Stephany Folsom and Christopher C. Rogers will co-showrun. Vaughan, Chiang, Plan B, Christopher Cantwell and the showrunners will serve as executive producers for the series, which is set to film in Chicago this year.

Paper Girls follows four young girls who, while out delivering papers on the morning after Halloween in 1988, become unwittingly caught in a conflict between warring factions of time-travelers, sending them on an adventure through time that will save the world. As they travel between our present, the past, and the future — they encounter future versions of themselves and now must choose to embrace or reject their fate.

Wong will play Adult Erin, the woman twelve-year-old Erin Tieng (Nelet) grows up to become. When the two Erins finally come face-to-face, they are forced to confront the gap between their childhood hopes, dreams, ambitions and the reality of their grown-up life.
