PBS News Hour: Will ‘Fresh Off the Boat’ turn the tide for Asian Americans on TV?

Posted on February 25, 2015 by John

Jeff_Yang_PBS_News_Hour_FOTBAs far as daily evening news programs go, PBS’s News Hour tends to be a bit more serious and have a lot less fluff stories. So I was happy to see this News Hour segment this past weekend on ‘Fresh Off The Boat.’ The News Hour story provides some good context regarding ‘Fresh Off The Boat’, which also includes an interview with Wall Street columnist Jeff Yang, father of childhood actor Hudson Yang.
