Now that the shock has somewhat worn off, we want to say goodbye to our brother and regular collaborator Alex Duong, who LOVED being Vietnamese. The first photo is from an early email exchange requesting a Paris By Night-style headshot for our first-ever show. That's the Jpeg he immediately sent back, having understood the assignment 100%. Over the years he stayed a warm, supportive, hilarious presence in EBN and in our lives. It was so fun to just f**k around with the guy even outside of showbiz. He loved pitching ideas, promoting the culture, and he especially liked when our hosting bits would bomb (often Fred's).
He often spoke so highly on the strength of Vietnamese women, especially his wife Christina and daughter Everest, who are now in a very tough financial situation after Duong's passing. If you want to support them however you can, the gofundme is linked in our bio.

Alex Duong and his IMDB credits will be laid to rest at a memorial service at Hollywood Forever Cemetery April 17th, 12-3pm.
