KEN JEONG

'Ken Jeong', a.k.a. '"Dr. Ken"', is an American comedian, actor, and physician. He is known for incorporating his medical knowledge into his comedy.
Jeong is of Korean descent. He completed his undergraduate studies at Duke University and attained his medical degree at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He then completed his Internal Medicine residency in New Orleans while developing his stand-up comedy.^[1] His big break then came when he won the Big Easy Laff-Off where NBC president Brandon Tartikoff and Improv founder Budd Friedman were judges. They both urged Jeong to move to Los Angeles and he began performing regularly at the Improv and Laugh Factory comedy clubs.
Jeong's background in theater and improv has led to several television appearances which include NBC's ''The Office'', HBO's ''Entourage'' and ''Curb Your Enthusiasm'', and the Jon Stewart-produced ''Three Strikes'' pilot. Jeong made his feature film debut in ''Knocked Up'' in 2007 and will reteam with Judd Apatow and Seth Rogen in ''The Pineapple Express''. He is currently filming ''All About Steve - '' starring Sandra Bullock, Thomas Haden Church, and Bradley Cooper.
