Career
She is part of the Smosh Squad and was a co-host of Smosh's Seriously Super Stupid Sleepover with Courtney Miller until the series was cancelled. Before joining Smosh, she appeared in episodes of multiple TV series including Weeds, Warzone and Csi: Crime scene investigation.Chinese Americans social media[1]
On July 28, 2017, it was announced in What's going on with Smosh?! that Courtney and Olivia would again be hosting a series together, this time called Whoa! Nature Show. The show premiered on August 16, 2017, but was shelved after only a few episodes.
During her first year as a Smosh cast member (as well as intermittently later on), Olivia was frequently confused with Mari Takahashi. Though some fans often mixed up the two, Olivia is actually Chinese Americans and Mari is Japanese American. Mari also has a darker skin tone than Olivia. Most of the Smosh Family have made jokes about the confusion between Mari and Olivia at some point in time, though many have also said that they actually can't tell why some viewers think they look alike.
Olivia has a reputation of being the best at card games out of the Smosh cast. This should, however, be taken with a grain of salt for the following reasons:
In the Game Bang episode "SMOSH AGAINST HUMANITY", Joven and Olivia both ended the game with four cards above all else.
Despite this, Sohinki refused to acknowledge that Joven "tied for first," implying by that logic that Olivia did not receive first either.
In the Seriously Super Stupid Sleepover episode "BUCKET OF DOOM W/ THE SMOSH SQUAD," most ties were settled by Sunny Peabody weighing in a final decision.
For the final round, however, the Squad gave Olivia the point she needed to win the game, despite her and Noah tying in the final round with two votes each.[5]
Personal
Olivia was born in China and moved to the United States with her family when she was two.
In "I COULDN'T RIDE A BIKE UNTIL I WAS 13" Olivia revealed that up until her Adolescent years, she had a distant and awkward relationship with her father, who was often working overseas and never had time to bond with her. Their first real bonding experience came when she was thirteen, when he spent an afternoon teaching her to ride a bike for her role in CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. Originally, she thought she would hate it, but it instead ended up being one of her happiest memories to date and a milestone for the relationship between her and her dad.
Relationship
Olivia had a longtime boyfriend named James Law, as revealed in one of the Lunchtime with Smosh vlogs when she went through the last photo she sent out. It was a Snapchat picture of her crying; she stated it was sent because she missed her boyfriend. James is a photographer and began dating Olivia in 2014.
Trivia
