In this episode of Fresh Air Weekend, host Terry Gross interviews Michael Schur, the creator of Netflix's "A Man on the Inside," and Jimmy O. Yang, the star of Hulu's "Interior Chinatown." Schur shares the inspiration behind his new series, which draws from a Chilean documentary about an elderly man going undercover in a nursing home, blending humor with unexpected philosophical insights. Meanwhile, Yang reflects on his role in "Interior Chinatown," discussing his experiences as an Asian-American actor and the show's critical look at stereotypes in the entertainment industry. Both conversations provide valuable perspectives on the creative process, the ethics of storytelling, and the immigrant experience in America.
