Hop Sing was the Cartwright family's cook on the US television series Bonanza which ran on the NBC network from 1959-73. Victor Sen Yung played the Chinese immigrant.
During the western's fourteen year run, just two episodes centered around the character. The first dealt with Hop Sing saving Little Joe from a false murder charge via the ancient science of fingerprinting or (as Hop Sing referenced) "chops". The second episode, written by Michael Landon, dealt with Caucasian biases against Asians in the 1880s, when Hop Sing fell in love with a white woman.
Matt: WRONG
Record: 195-153
