Summary

Actor, writer and producer Kelvin Yu joins BOOM TIME for our most wide ranging conversation yet. On this episode we discuss Kelvin's work on the Emmy-winning animated series Bob's Burgers, and how the black mold in their old office might be the secret to their success. Kelvin also talks about working with Sean Penn on the film Milk as well as his role in the series Master of None, and the one episode many people felt defined the series. Finally, Kelvin chats with us about an article he wrote earlier this year in the New York Times regarding a joke on the reboot of Roseanne about Black and Asian TV shows that felt like a "gut punch."
