Ali Wong's Latest Netflix Special Celebrates Empowered Moms and Strong Partnershipsartificial insemination kit for humans

Ali Wong’s third Netflix special, “Don Wong,” had me laughing harder than I have in two years. This Valentine’s Day, my evening was anything but extravagant; we indulged in overpriced sushi on credit, played with our toddler, and once he was asleep, we eagerly tuned into Wong’s new special. It exceeded all expectations.

Dressed in her signature red glasses and a red leopard print dress from a thrift store, Wong burst onto the stage with her unmistakable flair. She explored the complexities of being the more successful partner in her marriage, humorously recounting how her initial aim was to “trap” her husband, only to find herself in a delightful twist of fate. She comically addressed the double standards women encounter in the workplace while celebrating the inherent power and strength of women.

What stands out most is Wong’s approach to motherhood. She skillfully discusses the challenges without falling into the typical traps of parental guilt. With her, we bypass the obligatory qualifiers like, “I love my kids, but…” or “My husband is great, but…” In “Don Wong,” she grants us the freedom to acknowledge the less glamorous aspects of our lives with humor. As a working mom, it’s refreshing to hear her candidly express unresolved feelings despite her success. At one point, she jokingly hints at infidelity, a concept that may seem distant to many. However, her detailed and humorous exploration of the topic resonates with those who understand the strength of her relationship.

Best of all, Wong’s comedy is free from any contentious undertones. She doesn’t target anyone negatively; instead, her humor feels inclusive and playful. She navigates racial stereotypes in a way that is entertaining rather than offensive.

For any working moms craving recognition in their own chaotic lives, Wong’s special is a must-watch—it’s perfect for those precious moments of “me time.”
