Excited
The other night, I caught actor/doctor Ken Jeong on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. It only seemed like a few months ago I saw Ken in The Hangover and I thought the movie was hilarious, although I have second thoughts about how Ken’s role in that movie portrays Asian Americans. Well, Ken is in another movie this summer The Goods: Live Hard. Sell Hard, opening on August 14th.
Ken always seems to be a bit hyper when on late night television, so it boggles my mind to think that he used to be a physician – he must have really restrained himself when he was practicing. Now that Ken is a full-time actor, he’s making the most of his success and apparently will be one of the main characters in NBC’s new series this fall titled, Community. Best of luck to Ken!

Ken Jeong is an abomination. He has single-handedly set us back another 20 years now. He is the "new" William Hung. Thank for nothing "Dr. Ken".
I'm really not one of those "activist" types that get incensed over negative portrayals of our race in media, but the more I see of Ken Jeong -- and I really want to like him and he seems a nice enough guy in real life -- the more he bothers me. Everything I've ever seen him do onscreen feeds the "nerdy Asian guy" stereotype.
He was on Monday Night Raw with Jeremy Piven a couple weeks back to promote The Goods, and it was so embarrassing, even by the standards of professional wrestling, I had to turn the TV off.
