Ken Jeong: First Date

I get it, the guy is a millionaire and is rich. But this was no were close to a stand up. There is no freakin difference between a Mayweather interview and this stupid stand up. In short what I took away is : I am Asian. I am a millionaire. I am great. Rest everyone is a sucker. God, do not waste your time.

Overall I felt that this standup performance was good. I had some laughs and I enjoyed learning more about Ken Jeong who has always been this wild and crazy character in my head. This man has always fascinated me because he was once a doctor and gave it all up to be an actor. He does talk quite a bit about that switch which was extremely funny and interesting to learn about.

To me this special was the most wholesome in the fact that he contantly talked to the audience as if they were important parts to his act and pointed out his wife and director constantly. The show was about Mr. Jeong and how rich and famous he is but it was also about how he got to where he is and how important all of the people in his life are.

It wasn't the funniest standup I've seen but if you're a fan of Ken's and the work he's done in Hollywood then I think you would enjoy this.

I also think you would enjoy this special if you last name is Ho.

He's no Bill Burr or Chappelle, but he's got Ho's! Fun time, relax critics.

This was one of the worst comedy specials I have ever seen. There are no jokes. Just him bashing on Asians for a while (can be funny but it wasn't here). He spent a lot of time telling us how rich and famous he is. About how he is a doctor. Some stuff about how his wife is a Ho and how some plants in the audience are also Ho's.

And that's about it. I don't understand. This should not have passed any kind of quality control.

Though switched this on for the comedy, I didn't feel gripped by the comedy. Ken's jokes were by no means as bad as what other reviews seem to be parroting. However, I will admit that I did soon grow tired with his reliance on cheesy Asian stereotypes and bragging. This shouldn't be too surprising as his previous works have been built more on shock value and vulgarity rather than wit or nuance.

The redeeming part of the act was the autobiographical storytelling of some of the more important and vulnerable parts of his life that led him to his success.

If you are interested in Ken worth a watch for the stories alone. However, I wouldn't clear your evening plans to watch this.
