Huy Quan is drumming up plenty of business in Hollywood. Once hailed for his childhood acting chops, Quan is making a name for himself as an adult actor. The Academy Award winner now stars in “American Born Chinese,” making its Disney+ premiere Wednesday, May 24.

Adapted for television by Kelvin Yu (“Master of None”) and based on the 2006 graphic novel of the same name by American cartoonist Gene Luen Yang, “American Born Chinese” is an eight-episode series that follows high-schooler Jin Wang (Ben Wang, “Chang Can Dunk,” 2023), who is struggling to work out the nuances of his Chinese heritage in a predominantly white American neighborhood. When an international student moves to town from Taiwan, Wang is pulled into “a battle with Chinese mythological gods” (per IMDb). “American Born Chinese” costars Poppy Liu (“Hacks”), Jimmy O. Yang (“Love Hard,” 2021), Ronny Chieng (“Crazy Rich Asians,” 2018) and Daniel Wu (“Westworld”), and places Quan back in a cast with his “Everything Everywhere All at Once” co-stars Michelle Yeoh and Stephanie Hsu.

Season 6 concludes with two new episodes of “Young Sheldon” premiering Thursday, May 19, on CBS. Sheldon (Iain Armitage) gets ready for his summer in Germany with Mary (Zoe Perry) while Georgie (Montana Jordan) is surprised by Mandy (Emily Osment) and presented with a spa weekend. Afterwards, the Coopers prepare for a tornado.

One of nine children born to his Chinese parents, Quan was separated from his mother and three siblings in 1978 when they fled to Malaysia as he joined his five other siblings and father in a refugee camp in Hong Kong. Reunited with his family in Los Angeles when Quan was nine, the actor still recalls his emigration experience as a “really traumatic” one.

Polish your teapots, iron your doilies and butter your crumpets. For the first time in 70 years, an English monarch will be crowned and the whole world will tune in to see if King Charles III, Prince William and Prince Harry bust each other up at Westminster Abbey.

Whether or not the coronation turns into a fistfight, there will be plenty of spectacle, pomp, circumstance, tradition, snobbery and a reminder that England adores fluffy hats.

King Charles will be 74 on the day of his coronation, code-named Operation Golden Orb (not even kidding). He’s much older than his mother was when she was enthroned. Queen Elizabeth was crowned at the age of 27 and reigned for 156 years.

The coronation is based on traditions going back centuries. In fact, for nearly 1,000 years, the Archbishop of Canterbury has conducted the ceremony. You’d think, at some point, people would start asking how he’s been alive for so long.

Our country has a bit of history with England, but we're still infatuated with royalty. American royalty just isn’t the same. It’s either the Kardashians or the Kennedys, depending on who you ask. When we elect a new president, we don’t
