8 DAYS: The fourth season of Fresh Off the Boat premieres this week. What’s your favourite highlight so far?
I have been telling everybody about the first episode where [Constance Wu and Chesley Crisp’s characters] Jessica and Honey are contestants on Wheel of Fortune. We got to shoot on the set with the game show’s hosts Pat Sajak and Vanna White. Growing up, my parents used to watch that show while we were eating dinner, and I suspect my father [who’s from Hongkong] learnt some English while watching it.
Four seasons in, how has the way racial topics are handled on the show changed?
