Showbiz isn't easy. All the hours and days, preparing and scheduling, coupled with natural and human interferences, can make or a break your day. Don't get The Kings wrong. They ain't complaining. Just ask King Jon.

On 23 August, King Jon stayed up one whole night under the watchful eyes of King Matt, who helped him get into 'character'. That's because King Jon was casted as the lead role in King Chi Ho's latest script, a parody of those Japanese horror films featuring household items. Basically, what King Jon needed to do is sleep. His ability to sleep in virtually every terrain puts a crown on his head.

At around tea time on 24 August, The Kings assembled in King Niggy's castle, awaiting the crew of Michael and Aidil (our new 'Joke Aje' director) for The Kings second shoot. Upon arrival, the two-man crew from MediaPrima expertly deployed their equipments and with a quick recee of the area, The Kings were good to shoot.

The setting was simple, King Jon (who was duely encouraged to sleep on his job) in a sarong and singlet, a bed and an old school alarm clock. Aidil's array of dynamic shots and creative visualization in the shoot were merely subtle hints of what a great asset he was for our future episodes. After only an hour, it was a wrap. Again, it all boiled down to the editing team and in just a few days, The Kings have a masterpiece courtesy of the MediaPrima team - The Alarm Clock.


Enjoy and please do let us know of your thoughts about the video.

It all started with an sms. And a little bit of luck. Cheryl Bastian, a good friend of The Kings from the time they first won a talent competition, IACT Talent Search back in 2004, sent King Matt an sms, roughly stating that she can make The Kings ‘famous’. King Matt promptly gave Cheryl a call and a meeting was set at Sri Pentas (TV3 Head Office).

Fast forward to the meeting, The Kings met a Mr. Michael D’Oliveiro and passed him a copy of The Kings Dance 101 preview VCD. He liked it. Michael explained how MediaPrima have huge plans to venture online. The Kings like it. The Kings, then, pitched a few more ideas, he liked them too, particularly an idea of a kidnapping scene gone wrong.

He is human after all: King Niggy fails to
strike a pose with Cheryl and King Matt.

So, The Kings’ first Internet TV debut video, ‘Kidnapped’, came to be. As Michael was keen to shoot within a few days, the date and venue (classified location) was quickly set. With everything set in place by both parties, the shoot became more imminent. The Kings, oblivious of the prospects that await them on the Net, appeared somewhat jittery on the set but nevertheless, utmost enthusiastic and optimistic.

And now, fast forward again about 2 months since Cheryl’s sms, you can all enjoy our videos by simply following these steps:

Yes, we are on TV! Internet TV that is.

Kings Chi Ho & Niggy were at Maison's for launch of Media Prima's new online experience, www.gua.com.my. They snapped quite a few pictures but the only piece of hard cheese was. . . King Chi Ho lost his camera! King Chi Ho is rather shackled by this lost and promises a kingly gift to those who've accidentally taken his Majesty's camera to return it safely to him.

And back to the launch. As King Matt Ho and Jon were still busy dodging responsibility in Bangkok, King Joonie and Ronnie were also busy with their own professional commitments, this means that King Chi Ho & Niggy were the only representatives of the troupe.

Surrounded by celebrities and prominent contributors of the media industry, Kings Chi Ho & Niggy learnt the downside of not-so-famous performers like themselves; people stare and never approach you. So, the two Kings found themselves admiring the interiors of Maison's, which they don't often do, as the event started at late noon! Seeing sunlight beaming through the club's many windows was rather uneasy, apart from the free-flowing flat beers.

But nevertheless, the two Kings had a few bar-side banters, some food, some contacts, some beers and some fun for a short and sweet launch. '

And oh, let's get straight to The ComeBackKings videos! As a handful might already know, The Kings were committed to shooting 20 short videos for a segment called 'Joke Aje' in the website.

The Kings' debut video, Kidnapped, was rather amateurish and mistake prone but its the script that The Kings would like you to like. But still, its okay lar, first time mah!

The Kings' second video, The Alarm Clock, is much more enjoyable though. Sadly, some mistakes were made on the editing side that prevented King Chi Ho a kingly mention as the royal behind the script and video concept. Sigh, another lesson learnt by a not-so-famous performer.

Oh well. As The Kings move slightly ahead on professional progress, it is still a long road to walk. So do help us monitor our progress and walk along with us as there are 18 more videos waiting for you!

Thank you for your support. . . really!

After 16 scripts in its many weeks, King Chi Ho is losing his, once ever-flowing, writing juices but nevertheless new juices will eventually gradually sip in to fill the void.

For instance, a certain type of juice that we all know too well, a juice that starts with the letter 'M', a juice that has thrived along with triumphs of mankind, a juice we all need for survival; mathematics. (I'm sorry you ppl had to read that. It sounded hornier in my head.)

And so, allow me to describe The King's first assignment in an island our former colonizers call The-Pearl-of-the-Orient-after-years-of-failure-to-learn-our-native-tongue numerologically chronological.

This one was a bit fun-ner than the rest. The Kings were supposed to play a bunch of crime detectives and crime lab investigators. But here is the catch; there was no comedy whatsoever! It was a bit difficult to land the job though.

Again it was our boyish features that got us into some complications with the client. Well, here is what I have to say; people mature not through age but by maturity. You don't expect only a 30yo veteran can kick ass like Nicol David. Obviously, more than 90% of the world have not the maturity to comprehend that short statement. And so, The Kings will be forever living under the shadow their own chiselled looks for as long as their hair haven't grow grey.

Oh well, in the end The Kings got what they wanted; the assignment. But getting the assignment done was another complication. As some would know, The Kings charge an amount of fee for writing scripts but since our client had 'some' vocabulary shortcomings and the deal was done and dusted, let's just say that The Kings skipped William's on pay day.



The only time The Kings had for practice is on the way back from Lumut! Man, was it fun. Plus, it was a serious script but funny in a different context. Picture this, investigators found some 'abused' laptops (No, not Ms. Lewinsky. She is sadomasochist.) but there's one 'survivor', so how did this laptop 'survived'. (This is the part where King Joonie's character says, "Mahai! Got survivors wei!" but that was our version of the skit!)


Yes, so The Kings did there roles, posed for some pictures and they were off again, hoping for more assignments such as these would come to their way.
