“Fresh Off the Boat”

Oh snaps. Here’s a first look at this freshly picked up show about BaoHaus chef/VICE personality/ Fresh Off the Boat author Eddie Huang‘s childhood!

So I only learned about Eddie Huang a few months ago, cuz’ 1. this pilot was THE most talked about pilot within the Asian American acting community and 2. when my brother and I were walking by the original Din Tai Fung in Taipei this March, my bro randomly gave me the lowdown about Mr. Huang (turns out my brother’s a fan cuz’ of these VICE videos). Then just a few weeks later, Eddie happens to come to my bday party/Dawen’s show at the House of Blues with some friends of mine. I kinda fangirled on the inside when I met him. #freakinsmallworld

Anyway, I’m looking forward to watching “Fresh Off the Boat,” cuz’ the guy is definitely interesting enough to make a show about. On top of that, one of my fave Asian American actors, Randall Park, plays his dad on the show, newcomer Hudson Yang who portrays young Eddie is the son of the very cool Jeff Yang, and Constance Wu (who I’m not familiar with) seems to be pretty funny. I’m definitely very excited about this show!

P.S. – This show will air on ABC (which is perfect, cuz’ ABC also stands for American Born Chinese :P).
