The Undefeated

As Ken Jeong recently tweeted, the ABC comedy that is ending next year after six seasons paved the way for Crazy Rich Asians as well as his ABC sitcom Dr. Ken. As Cary Chow adds: "Like any content featuring minorities, Fresh Off the Boat doesn’t represent the entire Asian American diaspora, but I sure could relate to a helluva lot of it. It helped usher Asian American faces into the limelight, share some of our culture and dispel stereotypes." Chow adds that Fresh Off the Boat 's legacy will be helping Asian-American kids struggling with their own identity.
