Comedian Ken Jeong Is Getting Talk Show

Actor and Comedian 🎬Ken Jeong is slated to headline his own talk show.

According to Entertainment Weekly, Lionsgate’s Debmar-Mercury is developing the show with Jeong.

Debmar-Mercury co-presidents Mort Marcus and Ira Bernstein said in a joint statement obtained by EW, “Ken is one of a handful of people in the world who has what it takes to succeed as a talk show host and we are excited to be in business with him.”

“Audiences connect with Ken on many levels – not only because is he so talented, entertaining and unapologetically hilarious but their sense that he is sincere, compassionate, fearless, friendly, just genuinely nice – all essential ingredients that make for long-term success as a talk show host,” they went on.

“He is also a talent capable of conquering any time period with his mix of comedy, Hollywood celebrity friends, and ability to bring viewers,” they concluded.

Jeong is currently a judge on Fox’s “The Masked Singer” and known for his outlandish personality.

He starred in “The Hangover,” “Pineapple Express,” and the NBC cult-classic sitcom, “Community,” and has a diverse fan base.

Jeong even sat in as a college football game day commentator for ESPN to support Duke University, his alma mater. 

Jeong is a licensed physician, but stopped practicing to focus on his acting career.
