ABC Developing Chinese-American Family Comedy From Jessica Gao

ABC Developing Chinese-American Family Comedy From Jessica Gao

If you’re unfamiliar with the name Jessica Gao, you should watch the credits of Rick and Morty a little closer (she’s staffed as a writer there) and listen to the podcast Whiting Wrongs where Gao and Dan Harmon have frank conversations about race in Hollywood. 

Familiar now? Good.

Coming from the world of Rick-and-Morty-verse/C-137, we can only wonder what Gao has up her sleeve here. The premise is straightforward enough with a estranged daughter being forced back into their overbearing Chinese family via being the sole heir of a family fortune. Hopefully, we’ll get to see the final product if and when this goes to series.

If You’re Obsessing Over Rick and Morty’s “Pickle Rick”, Here’s a Whole “Ricking Morty” and a Behind The Scenes Featurette

All of you watched last night’s Rick and Morty’s Pickle Rick episode last night, right? 

If you haven’t, stream it (while you can) at Adult Swim here and be stunned at what might end up being one of the show’s most daring and ambitious episodes ever.

Then, watch the episode’s writer Jessica Gao, Kumail Nanjiani, and Brandon Johnson talk it out with Sam Jay on the latest Ricking Morty.

On top of that, here’s an inside look that went into what designing “Pickle Rick”, the rats, and more.

Hopefully, that’ll satiate you for now.

By the way, has anyone made a connection that “Pickle Rick” is literally about getting out of a pickle (other than the woman who points that out at the end of this Ricking Morty)?
