Malaysian-born comedian Ronny Chieng has officially become a United States citizen.

In a YouTube video on April 6, the 39-year-old was seen engaging with fans on his Daily Show programme when renowned actor Bill Murray, 74, made an appearance.

“They said that you’re very excited today because today you just found out that you have become an American citizen,” Murray said as he stepped on stage.

The Ghostbusters star then gave Chieng a friendly pat on the back and a playful salute before making his way off the stage.
