For years, Booster has mined his biography for stand-up material, even though the version of himself he plays onstage is "like 30 percent of what's inside me, and it's mostly put on." The line for which he's most famous is probably "I knew I was gay before I knew I was Asian," from his 2017 Comedy Central special. Some people, he thinks, will likely always know him for that. In this season of Loot, Nicholas will resemble Joel a little more: The writers decided the character was adopted by white parents, just like Booster. He was into it right away because of how natural the representation of a transracial adoption comes across. Nicholas's parents just show up onscreen and no one loses their mind. |
