"Young Sheldon" is heading to a galaxy far, far away by adding Ming-Na Wen, currently starring as Fennec Shand on Disney+’s "The Book of Boba Fett", as a guest star!
TV Insider has learned exclusively that she will appear in the episode titled “A Free Scratcher and Feminine Wiles”, airing on February 24 at 8/7c on CBS.
In the episode, Wen plays Dr. Carol Lee, director of experimental cosmology at East Texas Tech University, who will butt heads with 11-year old student Sheldon Cooper (Iain Armitage).
Given Sheldon has a knack for driving professors like Dr. Grant Linkletter (Ed Begley, Jr.) and President Linda Hagemeyer (Wendie Malick) more than a little crazy with his incessant questions and suggestions, will he also test Dr. Lee’s patience?
“I was really looking forward to it because I try to infuse as much comedy into all my characters as possible, even with Fennec,” Wen tells us.
“I love it when the fans are telling me that they’re laughing at this line or the relationship that I have with Boba. It just makes the character so much more interesting.”
