In 2015, Ronny moved to New York City after being hired as a correspondent on The Daily Show with Trevor Noah on Comedy Central.

He can currently be seen in Amazon's film Bliss and Marvel’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings premiering in September.
Ronny has appeared in GQ and on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson.
