- We don't often do interviews like this, but we're in full support of this show and what it means to our community as a whole. It's been 20 years since an all Asian American family on network TV, let's hear from them what they're feeling!
Support by watching on TV, or better yet online, cause really who watches TV now? =P
"How old are you? 40?"
Kid you just made my day.
The kid is going to be a comedian--when he's 40. ;)
Same XDDDD so hilarious XDDDD
crazy how time flies... 40 is almost approaching for him
Constance is so gorgeous holy crap
Omg seeing Constance not have the Asian mother voice is wierd lol
true
Zeustra omg that's called acting jeez people.
She is beautiful
was gonna say the same thing lol
I totally agree with Randall, Constance kills the show, she is amazing. Randall is great as well, I mainly watch the show because of the parents haha
White people = Modern Family. (Except for lilly)
Black People = Black•ish.
Asian People = Fresh Off the Boat.
And Manny...and Gloria...
Oh please, you're gonna tell me that Sofia Vergara a natural BLONDE isn't white........
poopyi She's Colombian so she's probably mestiza.
Latinos can be white too.
That just been racist
After seeing Randall in The Interview, I can't take him seriously anymore lol
I'm really glad that such a show exists. It's really exciting and even though I'm Indian and not what people think of when they think "Asian" there's a lot of similarities. It's nice to get more representation.
It's great seeing Asian Americans gain greater visibility in the industry. It's ground breaking that a show like this is being made and I feel like it's a big step forward. Though, I also can't help but feel that Asian-American actors have yet to receive a meaty and dynamic story with complex characters that doesn't rehash old tropes like the Asian American family confronting issues of culture clash, assimilation, and identity crisis. Granted, innovation doesn't bring in the big bucks. Still, I'm eagerly waiting for a comedy series that doesn't find its humor through stereotypes and an Asian-American drama with a quality story and characters comparable to The Wire. Much love to everyone who is a part of this project. And much love to Wong Fu.
One day I hope they create another Asian Family show that has an Asian daughter. I myself am not a girl, but I have heard so much stuff from my friends that are. I hope to see one someday because good shows can talk about the tough issues and maybe one day the stereo typical issues that Asian girls run into like SUPER over protective parents may change. But that is an idea, I know that this isn't even the case now for other cultures.
Omgosh the kids are so adorable.
Those boys are TALL now!! Hudson is taller than his "dad" Randall Park now and it's only been 3 years since this interview...
ABC's Blackish and now Fresh Off The Boat im excited! Yes anyone who is watching this video right now, needs to watch Fresh Off The Boat when it premieres on Wednesday Feb 4th.
Just finished watching the first two episodes and to be honest, I thought it was fantastic. Contrary to what some of the commenters have said, I really like it because like they said, it's a first show of it's kind and there are gonna be some hit and miss with this show (particularly the weird white host at the restaurant, not much of a fan of him), and from what I've seen so far, they're doing pretty well with the concept. It's not perfect, but I'm excited to see how it progresses and I would consider myself a fan already. Happy that Randall Park is going places as well as Constance making a name for herself in entertainment. :]
It's very special to me that there's finally a TV show that I can connect with, and really relate to. I really hope this show gets popular. I'm just so happy that we have something, the asian american community. WE DID IT!
Constance is so beautiful holy shit
We look forward to watching show everyweek.
Those kids are adorable. Can't wait until this show comes out; supporting all the way
"How old are you? 40?" XDD 😂 Poor Phil!
Priscilla Back that was heart breaking
I can't wait to watch this show. It has a lot of potential especially with such amazing actors working on it. The kids were were just too cute to handle.
I AM SO BEYOND EXCITED FOR THIS SHOW I CAN'T WAIT
My family is from Taiwan, I grew up in the US in the 90s...this show is like the anthem of my childhood. It's hilarious because it's so relatable.
6:00 constance unknowingly bit her nails and suddenly realised she was doing an interview. Now we know the bad side of her habit. but shes still cute
I love this show so much. It's so awesome and so very needed.
Black people= Black*ish
Asian People=Fresh off the boat
Latin people= Jane the Virgin ( so i heard)
btw loving all the diversity on television right now!!!!!!
Jessica Davis Cristella is more of the Latin show :)
Actually if it's on abc, Cristela is Latin American
I thought it's Empire?
Green Midori is Empire a comedy? NO.
***** Oh I didn't know the list is exclusively comedy. My bad.
Fresh Off the Boat is my favorite show and will forever be...I love this characters and also the real actors..they all are so cool❣️
This show so funny and kind of touching at the same time. The actors are really witty but also heart-warming. I wish there were more shows like "Fresh Off The Boat" on tv...
This got me watching the show in the first place and I have not stopped watching ever since
I will watch the show! This is awesome that they are doing something like this :)
Thank you for doing the interviews! This was awesome :)
I love the show and the actors are great. So glad that Wong Fu got to interview the cast. Keep up the good work.
I'm defiantly going to watch it. Such a awesome family. Can't wait.
Love the show . Watch every Tuesday
i love this show! i was fresh off the boat in '95, too, so i can relate! :D though i'm a southeast asian but asian families have loads of similarities. like the whole grades are important thing. this show is like watching my own experience
I freaking loveeeeee this show
This is so incredible. I hope they air it in NZ. I'd heard of it, but didn't properly want to go an see it in case it was too stereotypical for comedic purposes. But this interview has me genuinely I interested and quite excited. I hope it's a big success.
They make such and adorable on screen family! Love the show! The kids are so cute!!! Great interview;
I love the music in this show takes me back
Proud 90s kid
Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it. I actually watched the two premiere episodes of "Fresh Off the Boat" that debuted and aired tonight on ABC. First of all, I'm glad that there is finally an Asian American family centered comedy show on a big TV network. My thoughts of the first two episodes - it wasn't bad at all. I think Constance Wu, Randall Park, and the boy who plays Eddie's character were good. I'm an Asian American - Thai American - and as I was watching the two episodes I was thinking that my Asian Mom wasn't as harsh, strick, tough like Constance Wu's character. I never had Chinese Learning Center. And my Mom never tutored me for three hours like Eddie Huang's Mom. In fact, my Mom never tutored me. I have had some tutors, just not my Mom. And it was mostly my Dad who helped me sometimes with Mathematics homework during high school, etc., when I had some questions with math subjects.
I did make straight A's many times like Eddie Huang's character. But I was also able to play outside and be a normal kid as well. My Mom also never made Thai food or Asian food for my school lunch. I had sandwiches & chips instead for my packed school lunch. I would eat Thai and Asian meals during dinner time almost each day. But I had "American" food for my packed school lunches or ate from the school cafeteria. Also, my parents often said "I love you" to me, my sister, and to each other. They weren't like Eddie Huang's family in the first two episodes where they hardly said "I love you". Also, my Mom wasn't tight. She & my Dad are more like Eddie's Dad - kill them with kindness and generosity types. So, yeah, my Mom and my Dad were kind of opposite of Constance Wu's Asian Mom character. So, yeah, I hope the viewers who watch this "Fresh Off the Boat" understand that the show is based off the memoirs of one Asian American family - Eddie Huang's family, and that not all Asian American families are like the family in "Fresh Off the Boat". I hope there is no perpetuation of stereotypes here. From the first two episodes, I do agree with defending myself if someone called me derogatory terms for being an Asian American like Eddie defended himself when a classmate called him a racially derogatory term. I believe in standing up for one's self when someone says some racially offensive word to me and others. Other than that, I think the first two episodes weren't bad. I'm glad that there is finally a comedy featuring Asian American actors and actresses. We need more Asian American actors, actresses, and entertainers on TV.
Randall im so proud of. I remember that i watched him in one of your videos "Too fast" or something like that. Now hes a regular in public television. Im so happy and espeically theshow does NOT suck!! I cant stop watching xD New fan here haha. Keep up the good work you gguys :))!
Cuteee~ ahhh they seem like such wonderful people
I feel like this show is gonna be amazing. There were some controversies surrounding the title (like how it was wrongly used to promote the show before), but I'm sure that's nothing to worry about.
i love how jessica and emery said "thankyou" on the same pitch
So many nuances of Asian culture blending into American culture; the possibilities are endless. Can't wait to see how this series morphs.
Love this show! Hope there will be a second season. Glad there's finally an Asian-American show on TV haha. And oh man, Constance Wu is just beautiful!
I can't wait! This show comes out on my birthday February 10th! ^.^
OMG Constance is freakin gorgeous!
I just started watching this show and I already love it
I enjoy the show, the characters are all funny in their own unique way!
Love this👌ant wait for the show to air
aww the kids are so cute! can't wait for the 2 episode premiere tmrw!
SO EXCITED FOR THIS I CAN'T WAIT
The guy who plays Eddie is my classmate.
Oh really.
Well he is the same age as us.
I NEED A PICTURE TO PROVE IT
k
Awesome
yeah take a selfie with him and have him sign it
Jk
I believe you, I think
XD
i watched like 3 episodes today for the first time, thinking i won't be interested but holy shit i was wrong. i'm honestly hooked. i love it!
im so excited about this show!
I am SUPER DUPER excited to see FOB! I will be turning on my alarm to remind myself to watch it!:)
the school lunches thing is so relatable. i remember a teacher telling me to throw my lunch away bc "it smelled bad" and my friends making fun of it. i would begggg my mom to give me white people food for lunch but she never backed out.... war flashbacks lmao
AW THESE KIDS ARE SO CUTE!!! can't wait to watch tonight~
I really love the family in Fresh off the Boat. They are sooo loving and funny.
Listen to what Randall and Constance have to say guys. It's not meant to be offensive in any way. It's a first step towards the Asian American community being able to step up and actually become bigger than just ISATV. I mean, it's a comedy, stereotypes are an easy way to gain some laughter (although, I do agree that Randall's and Constance's accents could use a little work). But all in all, it's supposed to be about a how a young Asian born boy and his loving family is adjusting to a brand new culture. If it was honestly meant to just slam and make fun of the Asian culture, do you honestly think the author of this book would agree to turning his book into a show? Do you think Randall, Constance, and the parents of those boys, would agree to being apart of this show? Think a little further ahead before suddenly saying, "I hate this show"
In the show the kids dont like the chinese food...but in real life every time i bring chinese food EVERYBODY wants it.One time a teache stole some of my food
***** it was set in the 90s
But a lot of Americans ate Chinese food in the '90s.
+Donquixote Doflamingo not authentic Chinese food
+Donquixote Doflamingo not authentic chinese food
Marielle Salonga There was a place on 11th near where I lived before. Run by a Chinese family. Non-Americanized and they always took their time making the food. They had some pretty good dishes like zhajiangmian (?), century egg, chow fun, zongzi, and these little taro ball snack thingies. It got pretty good business before it closed down in 2000. Although that is the only example I could think of that served a bit more authentic Chinese cuisine, so I guess it can't be used as a generalization of the '90s.
It's so amazingly funny. Love this new show!
Those kids were so cute! I can't wait to watch the show! I don't have a tv, but I'll watch the day after. ^^
I love how brutally honest kids are. haha. I was wondering what happened to Home Is Where The Hans Are? I really hoped it would turn into a longer series. I'm glad Fresh Off The Boat exists and that's great for Asian Americans and everyone, but honestly, I don't understand the racism thing at all? I don't get why executives care so much and there haven't been any asian casts on tv. When I first started watching WongFu videos I never really saw you guys as asian or whatever, just people like everyone else (very talented people, might I add.) So I guess what I'm saying is, it's the content that matters to me. And as long as you all continue to work on great projects with solid content, I'll continue to support them (and you.) PS - Excited for the movie guys!
I think it has more to do with the opression asians have experienced in the west, it has been kind of silent and not many have acknowledged it so maybe its just a thing that asians in the west can relate to and understand
This is so awesome and inspirational! ♡
i love this! can't wait to actually watch it
I absolutely adore this show!
One of the best shows out there!
the kids are so cute. I'm excited to watch them!
Omg I'm so excited for this show!!
I love, love, love this show! Lots of LOLs!
Yesss excited to watch this!
The kids are so adorable!!! I wanted the middle one!
It actually felt like the actors who play the parents were a real couple. that chemistry was electric.
This is so funny I can't wait to watch it!
OMG while i was watching the 2nd episode i think, the mom was eating/cutting the apple and my mom does the EXACT thing and i was like wiggin out
i have yet to watch episodes 1 and 2. i only saw 3 and 4 which is kinda odd
OMG same. I couldn't stop laughing in that scene
love this show
It is a good and funny show. First time to see an Asian family on mainstream TV station.
I watch all the fresh off the boat episode. I enjoy and loved it.
CHINA CHINA CHINA CHINA!!!!!!
Watching this now in 2018, I'm like whoa they were so small back then...
BEST SHOW EVER!!!!!!!
I'm so excited about this
Wait, is that the guy who was in The Interview? Playing Kim Jong Un?
yes :)
OMG I THOUGHT SO!!! 😁
Gigi Campos my parents wont let me watch the interview!!! i'm asian, they saw it, they didnt like it. all my non asian friends(same age) saw it and loved it! :(
Uchiha Sage it's on netflix if you have it! I saw it and thought it was just meh though it did have moments I really liked
Uchiha Sage your parents are North Korean or something? Cuz it's about killing kim jong un, and i'm pretty sure every Asian aside from people from the North Korea have no problem seeing it.
Omfg I love all of their real personalities
I lovvvveee this show so much! I have a crush on the dad and the mom is always on point. The kids especially Eddy are so adorable. Love fong chu productions too U2 are so cute!
"How old are you? Forty?" XD Phil's reaction was hilarious!
aww. Those little guys are the cutest!
My Asian Mum and I looooove watching this show soooo funny and so relatable!
I love Fresh Off the Boat! To finally be able to watch a show about us Asians, it's really cool! I think the show is funny, and it depicts what some Asian families do go through. :) Of course, I'm the newer generation, so none of that still exists, but it's real nice to see that during the time I was born, and too young to understand, I get to see what 90's lifestyle really was. :D
+KimTheNintendoNerd Yes! I've waited so long for something like this.
Danielle Lau Same! And it was so worth the wait! :)
lovin wes's hair and phils hair looks nice too
Being asian american and growing up in a predominant caucasian neighbourhood, elementary school is basically prison. Teachers treat you differently, you get physically assaulted by other kids with the teacher keeping a blind eye. Sometimes you even have to trade your food/snacks for benefits. It really builds character.
This show is awesome! So funny! :)
I saw this before I watched the show, and I came back to hear what Constance sounds like normally. She is my FAVORITE on the show! She's so funny! lol
Crazy how one year changes a lot. I mean look how much the kids grow in just one year!
I love the show so much and the kids are sooo cute.
I saw the commercial for Fresh Off The Boat on TV and all I could think was:
"IT'S RANDALL FROM WONG FU!!!!!!!!"
alex540150 same!!! Lol
The kids were absolutely adorable!
kids: how old are you? 40?
kids: do you guys have somebody watching?
phil:....... heart broken
I'm not even Asian-American, I'm purely Asian, and I'm excited for this show since I'm a TV series addict. LOL!
It's surprising how you guys interview kim jong un easily.
even asian australians are excited for you guys :DD
