Ken Jeong, M.D.
Not only is this guy FUNNY FUNNY FUNNY, but HOT HOT HOT in the world of comedy. He’s popping up all over the place! ROCK on Ken!
Jeong is currently starring with Jeremy Piven in The Goods: Live Hard and Sell Hard and next appears with Sandra Bullock and Bradley Cooper in All About Steve, in theaters September 4th.
Jeong most recently played ransom demanding mobster guy who jumps out of a car trunk stark naked, Mr. Chow, in Hangover. Was an awesome surprise playing the Korean mafioso guy in Pineapple Express (“suck my ball two time!”), King Argotron in Role Models, and Allison Scott’s (Katherine Heigl’s) strict and sarcastic, perfectly condescending OB/GYN, Dr. Kuni, in Knocked Up.
Ken Jeong was born in 1969 to Korean immigrants who settled in North Carolina. Jeong graduated high school at 16, completed his undergrad at Duke, and obtained his medical degree from UNC-Chapell Hill. Jeong was urged by an NBC producer and an Improv founder to move to LA after seeing him perform and win the Big Easy Laff-Off in New Orleans where Jeong was completing his Internal Medicine residency. He made regular appearances at the Improv and the Laugh Factory.
