99 TO BEAT
KEN JEONG
as Host
Following his breakout roles in Knocked Up and The Hangover franchise, actor, producer, writer, and comedian Ken Jeong has established himself as one of today’s most sought-after stars.
The multihyphenate can currently be seen as a panelist on The Masked Singer, the hit Emmy-nominated show that comes back for its 14th season next year. Jeong is also the host and executive producer of I Can See Your Voice and appeared as a panelist on The Masked Dancer. Due to his dominance on the network, FOX began calling Wednesday “Kensday.” This fall, Jeong re-teams with FOX to co-host 99 to Beat alongside Erin Andrews. The high-stakes competition pits 100 contestants against each other in elimination-style challenges, with the last one standing taking home a $1 million prize.
Later this year, Ken will be seen in the holiday family comedy The Man with the Bag alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger, Alan Ritchson and an all-star cast. It was also recently announced that the actor will appear in the upcoming crime thriller 52 nd State, directed by Netflix’s former longtime VP Todd S. Yellin and exec-produced by Netflix co-founder Reed Hastings in his first credit as a producer. Jeong is also set to star in and executive produce How Can We Help, a comedy series at FOX inspired by former California Senator Barbara Boxer. The series comes from Friends executive producer Adam Chase and Andrew Lenchewski, who will executive produce alongside Jeong, Barbara Boxer and Nicole Boxer. It has also been announced that Peacock will be producing a film based on Community, the hit comedy that Jeong starred in from 2009-2015.
In a departure from his comedic roots, Jeong starred in Season Two of FOX’s legal anthology Accused, which premiered in October 2024. In the episode “Eugene’s Story,” directed by Michael Chiklis, he plays a kind-hearted jewelry store owner who must confront the hidden past of his wife. Last year, the actor graced screens in Kevin Smith’s The 4:30 Movie, My Spy: The Eternal City and independent drama A Great Divide.
Prior to headlining “Kensday” on FOX, Jeong created, wrote and starred in ABC’s Dr. Ken, and was a series regular on NBC’s Community, which won a Critics' Choice Award for Best Comedy Series. His earlier TV work includes The Office, Entourage and Curb Your Enthusiasm. Jeong’s recent TV credits include AppleTV+’s comedy The Afterparty, Mike Myers’ Netflix limited series The Pentaverate and Will Arnett’s Murderville.
In film, the actor broke out in 2008’s Role Models and appeared that same year in Pineapple Express and Step Brothers. He rose to fame as Mr. Chow in The Hangover trilogy — with Part II earning over $581 million worldwide. Additional credits include Crazy Rich Asians, Ride Along 2, Transformers: Dark of the Moon, Couple’s Retreat, Goosebumps 2 and Tom & Jerry. He recently starred in Charlie Day’s Fool’s Paradise, alongside Day, Adrien Brody, Kate Beckinsale, Jason Sudeikis, John Malkovich and Ray Liotta. Jeong directed the ESPN 30 for 30 Documentary Student Athlete, and starred in and produced the Sundance-winning Advantageous, which received an Independent Spirit Award nomination. The actor has lent his voice to characters in
the hit Netflix film KPop Demon Hunters, Oscar-Nominated Over the Moon, Scoob!, Lady and the Tramp, Wonder Park, The Casagrandes and My Little Pony, among others.
In February 2019, Jeong returned to his stand-up roots for his first-ever hit Netflix comedy special, Ken Jeong: You Complete Me, Ho, which earned him a People’s Choice nomination for “The Com- edy Act of 2019.” Filmed at The Ice House Comedy Club in Pasadena, California, where Jeong first got his start in comedy, the special reflects on how he went from being a doctor to a comedy superstar. He opens up about how his wife’s courageous battle with breast cancer led to him starring in one of the biggest comedy franchises of all time, The Hangover, and more recently, Crazy Rich Asians.
Jeong’s career path started off on a different course. He earned his undergraduate degree at Duke University and went on to get his medical degree at the University of North Carolina. Jeong completed his Internal Medicine residency in New Orleans all while developing his comedy. In 1995, Jeong won the Big Easy Laff Off. The competition, which was judged by former NBC President Brandon Tartikoff and Improv founder Budd Friedman, turned out to be his big break as Tartikoff and Friedman urged Jeong to head to Los Angeles.
Jeong dedicates his spare time to volunteering with Stand Up 2 Cancer, a cause very close to his heart. Ken has also been very outspoken on the rise in racism and hate crimes against the AAPI community in the last year. He is using his platform to call attention to these issues and advocate for change in hopes of having a lasting impact. He currently resides in Los Angeles with his wife and twin daughters. In October of 2024, Jeong was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
