Leveraging this robust online influence, CAA will support his exploration of new opportunities across diverse fields, including film, music, television, and sports.
This agreement is expected to accelerate Nigel Ng's entry into traditional media while allowing him to maintain his foundational social media presence. It exemplifies a contemporary industry trend where digital creators transcend platform boundaries to evolve into versatile entertainers.
Uncle Roger's Diverse Activities Beyond Online Content

Furthermore, he ventured into the culinary industry by launching two restaurant concepts: 'Kawan by Uncle Roger' in London and 'FUIYOH! It's Uncle Roger' in Malaysia.
His debut cookbook, titled 'Don’t Mess Up Your Rice: 70 Recipes to Impress Uncle Roger,' is slated for release on November 3, 2026, by publisher Simon & Schuster. Ng has also expanded his influence through collaborations with renowned chefs such as Gordon Ramsay and Jamie Oliver, and by partnering with various brands including Knorr, Airalo, Revolut, KFC, and Apple TV.
