‘Bob Hearts Abishola’: Bob Shocks Everyone in the Season 4 Premiere
Fall Preview
Diligent Bob Wheeler (Billy Gardell) shocks everyone, especially his wife, nurse and med student Abishola (Folake Olowofoyeku), by walking out of his 30-year job as boss of the family sock company, MaxDot, in the Bob Hearts Abishola Season 4 premiere, coming September 19 to CBS.
“Abishola married a hardworking businessman. She’s not sure that she knows who he is anymore,” says executive producer Gina Yashere, who plays mischievous Kemi, her hospital colleague. Bob chooses early retirement after learning that his sister Christina (Maribeth Monroe) poached his handpicked successor, Goodwin (Bayo Akinfemi), for her competing startup, Toesy Woesies.
Abishola’s family has drama too. She thinks her stubborn mom Ebunoluwa (Saidah Arrika Ekulona) — who’s still married to a man back in Nigeria — is getting too close to Pastor Falade (Jonathan Adams).
Teases Yashere, “Abishola looks at ways to stop it.”

Did Billy Gardell also play his dad's character, Max Wheeler, in the new, Sept. 2022, Season Premiere? 🤔

No. That was Joel Murray, brother of Bill Murray and Brian Doyle-Murray. You might recognize him as the original voice of Chester Cheetah in the Cheetos commercials.
The resemblance between Joel Murray and Billy Gardell is spooky. What a terrific cast job! I hope we see more of the late Max Wheeler.
