Constance Wu was a guest on Wednesday night's episode of THE TONIGHT SHOW STARRING Jimmy Fallon to talk about the final season of her ABC series Fresh Off The Boat. Wu has had a surge of success with the films Crazy Rich Asians and Hustlers, in addition to her comedy series reaching its six season.

During the interview, Fallon asked Wu, "What's the next big dream?" to which she replied "I's always been my dream since I was a teenager to do Shakespeare in the Park."

Wu goes on to say, "I like range, right? So I go from playing a suburban mother in Florida, to, you know, a stripper, to an ingenue, and then, you know, next is "Hamlet."
