In Chuck Lorre’s upcoming comedy show Bob Hearts Abishola he proudly declares that “immigrants make America great.”
Bob Hearts Abishola
The upcoming comedy centers on Bob, a sock salesperson from Detroit, who suffers a heart attack and wakes up in a hospital determined to win the heart of his nurse, a gorgeous Nigerian immigrant named Abishola. “This show on the surface probably looks like a romantic comedy [but] I’ve done that and I didn’t want to do it again,” explained Lorre, who previously created. “The story I wanted to tell is about our first-generation immigrants [and] the focus, the discipline, the hard work [and] rigorous, rigorous honesty that comes with coming here and grabbing hold of the American dream.”
Bob is portrayed by Billy Gardell, while Abishola is played by Folake Olowofoyeku, who -- like her character -- moved to America from Nigeria to pursue her dreams. While discussing her own transition, the actress opened up about how the move was partly to achieve her showbiz hopes amid a strong lack of support from her parents.
