The 15 breakout stars of the TV critics’ summer press tour TCA19
: It became immediately clear during the CBS sitcom's panel that the Chuck Lorre series, about a middle-aged white man who falls for his Nigerian nurse, has Yashere to thank for its authenticity.
"A lot of the stories that you see in the show are basically incidents from my life and a lot of other immigrant lives," said the British-Nigerian. "It’s not about anybody Nigerian. It’s about anybody coming from anywhere. You could be Indian, Pakistani, German. It doesn’t matter. It’s just you’re going somewhere else and starting a new life."
She added, "A lot of American TV, when they do immigrants, we’re either very downtrodden, poor, or criminal, or our accents are never quite right. You’re never seen as three-dimensional people. It’s always an immigrant doing something wrong or being done wrong by somebody else or being killed or just living in poverty, and it’s always one similar story. And the good thing about this show is they’re not immigrants; they’re people. They’re people working.
