Shoes Off Inside with MKT

Three trailblazing Asian American women in TV journalism and Hollywood join forces to rattle some cages and dismantle tired old stereotypes about race, age, sex and culture. Award-winning journalist May Lee and actresses Kelly Hu and Tamlyn Tomita (a.k.a. MKT) take on topics that aren't often discussed in the most open, authentic and, sometimes, hilarious way because they are unafraid to be fully themselves. They're all 50+ and fabulous so they got nothing to hide and they are beyond the point of caring about what other people think! So take your Shoes Off Inside and join MKT to engage, contribute, challenge and, most importantly, have fun! Lots and lots of FUN!

Shoes Off Inside with MKT

#39 - Bowen Yang

September 15, 2020 • The May Lee Show

In 2019, the late-night live television sketch comedy show, “Saturday Night Live” added a cast member that drew a collective “Finally!” from the Asian-American community. After a year of cutting his teeth as an SNL writer, Bowen Yang was promoted as a full-time cast member, making him the first Chinese-American to be given that coveted role.
Bowen is also on the hit show “Nora from Queens”, which stars Awkwafina and his podcast “Las Culturistas”, with co-host Matt Rogers, is still going strong. So needless to say, Bowen Yang is on fire! In this episode, May and Bowen have a deep and very honest conversation about everything from his comedic pursuits to coming out as gay and the conversion therapy that his parents signed up for to his support of Asian American solidarity.
